God

​

I believe that there is one living and true GOD, eternally existing in three persons: The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, equal in power and glory. This triune God created all, upholds all, and governs all things (Genesis 1:1; Deuteronomy 6:4; Isaiah 44:8, 48:16;Matthew 28:19-20; John 10:30; Hebrews 1:3).

I believe in God the Father, an infinite, eternal, personal Spirit, perfect in holiness, wisdom, power and love. I believe that He concerns Himself mercifully in the affairs of men, that He hears and answers prayer, and that He saves from sin and death all those who come to Him through Jesus Christ (Deuteronomy 33:27; Psalm 90:2, 102:27; John 3:16, 4:24; I Timothy 1:17; Titus 1:3).

​

I believe in Jesus Christ, God’s only begotten Son, conceived by the Holy Spirit. I believe in His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles and teachings, His substitutionary atoning death, His bodily resurrection, His ascension into heaven, His perpetual intercession for His people, and His personal, visible return to earth (Isaiah 7:14; Micah 5:2; Matthew 1:23; Mark 16:19; Luke 1:34-35; John 1:1-2, 8:58, 11:25; I Corinthians 15:3-4; I Timothy 3:16; Hebrews 1:8; I John 1:2; Revelation 1:8).

​

I believe in the Holy Spirit, Who is sent from the Father, through the Son, in order to convict the world of sin and the need for Jesus Christ.  He lives in every Christian from the moment of salvation. He provides power and guidance for living, supplies understanding of spiritual truth, and gives comfort and security to those who believe in Jesus Christ. I believe the Holy Spirit gives to every believer at least one spiritual gift to build up the church.  (John 14:16-17, 16:8-11, 16:13; Acts 1:8; Romans 8:26, 15:13, 15:16; 1 Corinthians 12-14; II Corinthians 3:18; Hebrews 9:14). 

​

​

Bible

​

I believe that the scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the Word of God, fully inspired without error and the infallible rule of faith and practice. (Isaiah 28:13; John 17:17; II Timothy 3:16-17; Hebrews 4:12; I Peter 1:23-25; II Peter 1:3-4, 21)

​

​

Sin

​

I believe that all people are sinners by nature and choice, falling short of God’s standard and breaking His commandments – and therefore are under God’s righteous judgment. Yet, God saves and gives new life to all who come to Him in repentance and faith, trusting in the Person and work of Jesus Christ. At the cross, Jesus Christ died in our place as our substitute, absorbing God’s wrath that should have come upon us. Because Jesus died for the sins of the world the invitation to believe is open to all, and whoever desires may come unto Jesus for new life and the forgiveness of sins (Matthew 11:28; John 3:16; Acts 3:19, 20:21; Romans 3:23;Ephesians 2:1-3, 8-9; I John 2:2; Revelation 22:17).

​

​

Heaven and Hell

​

I believe in a literal Heaven and a literal Hell and that all those who place their faith, hope and trust in Jesus Christ will spend eternity in Heaven with the Lord. Those who reject Jesus’ free gift of salvation will spend eternity separated from the Lord (Psalm 9:17; Matthew 5:3, 5:22, 18:9, 25:31-34; Mark 9:42-49; Luke 12:5; John 3:18; Hebrews 12:23; I Peter 1:4; Revelation 14:10-11, 20:11-15).

Christ’s Second Coming.

​

I believe in the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, which is His personal, visible return to Earth, and the establishment of His millennial kingdom. I believe in the resurrection of the body, the final judgment, and eternal blessing of the righteous and endless separation of the wicked (Matthew 16:27; Acts 1:11; Revelation 19:11-16, 20:11-15).
