We believe in the one true and holy God, who eternally exists in three distinct persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. By His power, God created the world, showcasing His wisdom, goodness, and creativity. Throughout history, God continues to sustain His creation and fulfill His redemptive plan.
Genesis 1:26-27 And 3:22; Psalm 90:2; Matthew 28:19; 1 Peter 1:2; 2 Corinthians 13:14
Jesus
Jesus Christ is eternally equal with God the Father and of the same essence. He became man through a miraculous conception and virgin birth. Living a sinless life, He willingly died on the cross for our sins, rose bodily from the dead on the third day, and ascended into heaven. Jesus will return at God's appointed time to judge all humanity according to His divine plan.
John 1:1-5; Hebrews 4:14-15; Colossians 1:15-20; Matthew 16:16; Colossians 2:9
The Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit, the third person of the Trinity, coexists and is coequal with God the Father and God the Son. The Holy Spirit convicts the world of sin and righteousness. At the moment of salvation, the Holy Spirit indwells every believer, empowering them for spiritual growth and equipping them to edify the church, the body of Christ, through spiritual gifts.
1 Corinthians 12; Ephesians 2:10; John 14:12-27; John 16:4-15
The Bible
We believe the Bible is divinely inspired and penned by individuals chosen by God. It communicates God's authority through the unique styles and personalities of its authors. The Bible instructs us on living God-honoring lives, highlights our disobedience, guides us in correction, and directs us on God’s path. It stands as the trustworthy and final authority on all beliefs, teachings, and practices of this church. No other writings are similarly inspired by God.
2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20-21; Psalm 119:105:160; Proverbs 30:5
Salvation
Man was created in the image of God to have fellowship with and glorify Him. However, man sinned against God by choosing his own way. As a result, everyone, except Jesus Christ, has sinned and is separated from God. Reconciliation with God is possible only through the person and work of Jesus Christ. Anyone can receive God's offer of salvation by freely choosing to put their faith and trust in Jesus Christ. This salvation is a free gift from God and cannot be earned.
Romans 6:23, Ephesians 2:8-9, John 14:6, John 1:12, Titus 3:5, Romans 6:23
The Church
All who are united with Christ through salvation become part of His body, the Church. The Bible instructs believers to gather together for fellowship, worship, prayer, teaching of the Word, observance of the ordinances, service to one another, and outreach to the world.
Acts 2:42-47; Romans 12:1-13; 1 Corinthians 12:12-13:13
Baptism & The LORD's Supper
We teach that Jesus instructed His followers to remember His death and resurrection through two visible symbols, known as ordinances: baptism and the Lord’s Supper. These ordinances are not necessary for salvation but are practiced in obedience to and in remembrance of Jesus Christ. Baptism by immersion is a one-time act of obedient identification with Jesus as Lord, serving as an outward sign of repentance and faith. The Lord’s Supper is an ongoing symbol commemorating our Lord’s death, burial, resurrection, and promised return. .
Matthew 28:18-20; Matthew 26:26-29; 1 Corinthians 11:23-32
