About the Bible

The Bible is the inspired Word of God. Because God is the one who defines truth, it is solely through the authority of His Word that we find what to believe and how to live. (2 Tim 3.15-17).

About God

There is one God, who has revealed Himself as our Father, in His Son Jesus Christ, and as the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ is God manifested in flesh. He is both God and man (Deuteronomy 6:4; john 14:9; Ephesians 4:4-6; Colossians 2:9; 1 Timothy 3:16)

About Sin and Salvation

Everyone has sinned and needs salvation. Salvation comes by grace through faith based on the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ (Rom 3.23-25; 6.23; Eph 2.8-9).

About the Gospel and Conversion

The gospel is the good news that Jesus died for our sins, was buried, and rose again. We apply the gospel to our lives by repenting of our sins (death to sin), being baptized in water in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of our sins (burial), and receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit (resurrection). This threefold experience is the consistent pattern of conversion in the early church (1 Cor 15.1-4; 2 Thes 1.8; 1 Pet 4.17; Mark 1.15; Acts 15.7; Rom 6.3-4; Acts 2.4, 37-39; 8.9-17; 10.1-48; 19.1-7).

About Christian Living

As Christians we are to love God and love others. We are to worship God joyfully and seek to live a life that is pleasing to him both inwardly and outwardly—in our thoughts, words, and outward expressions. We are empowered to live a life pleasing to God through the Holy Spirit. We believe that the supernatural gifts of the Spirit are for the church today and are available to all Spirit-filled believers just as they were in the Early Church(Mark 12.28-31; 1 Cor 12.8-10; 2 Cor 7.1; Rom 8.13-14; Gal 5.19-26; Heb 12.14).

About the Future

Jesus Christ is coming again to take His Bride (the church) home to be with Him in heaven forever. In the end every person will stand before the risen Christ and be judged for everything they have done good or bad. The righteous will inherit eternal life, and the unrighteous eternal death (1 Thes 4.16-17; Rev 20.11-15).
