We believe ...
There is only one true and living God, who exists eternally
in three Persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, who are equal in every divine perfection.
The Bible, both Old and New Testaments, is the verbally inspired Word of God. It is His revelation to mankind,
being totally accurate, complete, and true in all its teaching. It is the final authority in all matters to which
it speaks.
Jesus is the Son of God, who was born of a virgin and lived a perfect and sinless life, was crucified and by His
death paid the penalty for the sins of all mankind, was then resurrected from the dead and ascended to heaven,
and will soon return to the earth to establish His kingdom of righteousness.
All men and women are by nature sinful and lost, condemned to an eternity in hell, and can be saved only by placing
their faith in the shed blood of Jesus Christ as payment for their sins.
The Holy Spirit has an active ministry in the world today, convicting the lost of sin, making those who believe
in Jesus children of God through the new birth, assuring believers of heaven, indwelling them, sealing them, and
empowering them to live a Godly life.
Salvation is by personal faith in the accomplished work of Jesus Christ on the cross at Calvary. As perfect God
and perfect man Jesus accomplished salvation for all men. Salvation is by the grace of God through faith in the
Lord Jesus Christ -- this is the only condition of salvation.
