 One True, Holy & Living God

Who is the maker and preserver of all things. He has revealed Himself as the Trinity: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit – three persons of one substance, power, and eternity. 

Gen 1 & 2   |   Deut 6:4  | Matt 28:19

He is the Word made flesh, born of the virgin – Mary – by the power of the Holy Spirit. He suffered, was crucified, died and buried to reconcile us to the Father and to be the perfect sacrifice for our sins. There is salvation in no other name.

from the grave as an actual event in recorded history. He arose with an actual body, ascended into heaven and will return again to earth as the final judge of all persons. 

Matt 28:5-7   |   Acts 2:29-36; 10:39-42

He is our Helper, Teacher, and Guide, and the One who dwells in the lives of all true believers.  He provides the power to be witnesses of the good news of Jesus in the entire world.

and contains all things necessary for salvation. The Bible is inspired by the Holy Spirit and it alone is the ultimate rule and guide for living the Christian life.

and are helpless to change their condition through any human power or ability. We are put into a right relationship to God by faith in Jesus Christ alone. Salvation is a gift of the unconditional love of God (grace) and is available to all who as an act of free will respond to God’s offer of salvation.
Romans 3:23; 5:1-2; 6-11; 6:23    Romans 10:9-11   |   Ephesians 2:8-9

 We believe in the salvation that Christ alone can give are born again and, therefore, citizens of the Kingdom of God.  They are made new creations by the power of the Holy Spirit, freed from the curse of sin, and enabled to be faithful servants of God and others. As believers we can fall into a life of sin by an act of our will through a rebellious and disobedient heart toward the known will of God. Forgiveness is available to all who turn from their sin and desire to live a new life following Jesus Christ.

of all true believers of Jesus Christ. All Christians need to be a part of the fellowship of a local congregation where the word of God is preached and the sacraments are administered. The church exists for the worship of God, to proclaim the good news about Jesus to the entire world and to help believers mature in their faith so they can be in ministry in the church and mission in the world.

In the practice of the sacraments, by the mystery of faith, we experience the grace of God in our lives and are strengthened in our faith. We observe two sacraments: Baptism and Holy Communion (or “The Lord’s Supper”).

and are to seek to be in ministry and mission in and through their local church. Christians are set apart or “sanctified” to live lives that are both fruitful and faithful to the will of God. A person who is sanctified is freed form the power of sin and seeks to live a holy life which is defined as loving God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength and loving others as you would love yourself.

Acts 2:46   |   Heb 10:24-25

We believe in the resurrection of the dead. We believe those who are in a right relationship to Jesus Christ will live forever with God in a place the Bible calls heaven, and those who reject the gift of salvation will spend eternity separated from God.
