The Holy Bible

The Holy Bible is the fully inspired Word of God. All Scripture is entirely true and trustworthy, revealing God’s standard and divine instruction, and testifies of Jesus, who is the Christ, the focal point of God’s Word.

The Holy Trinity

Holy Trinity is manifest in the persons of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. These make up the distinct persons of the one true God, without division in nature, essence, or being.

God the Father

God the Father reigns with providential care over His universe. God is Father, in truth, to those who become children of God through faith in Jesus Christ.

God the Son

Jesus, conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary, was crucified upon the cross, conquering death, and providing redemption for humanity. Having ascended into heaven, Jesus is now fully exalted at the right hand of the Father until His Second coming, and the completion of His redemptive mission.

God the Holy Spirit

Holy Spirit, fully divine, reveals God’s truth to humankind. The Holy Spirit indwells every believer, empowers for the work of God’s kingdom, draws us to repentance, encourages and comforts, and intercedes on our behalf before Almighty God.

Salvation

We believe salvation is the reconciliation of the relationship which humanity lost due to disobedience. Salvation, through true faith in Jesus Christ as both Lord and Savior, is the full restoration of the relationship between God (the Creator), and humankind (His created).  Salvation is a gracious and benevolent act of God. The gracious and sacrificial life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ is the sole means which God has given for the salvation and restoration of humanity.

The Church

The Church represents the body of Jesus Christ which includes believers of all ages, and of every tribe, tongue, people, and nation. The church is given the command and mission of making disciples of all nations. The church is identified by faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.
