Our Beliefs:
God
God is an intelligent, spiritual, and personal being, who created, redeemed, preserves, and rules the universe. God reveals Himself to us as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Although God exists without division of nature, essence, or being, each of the three persons of the triune God has distinct personal attributes.
The Bible
The Christian Bible has God for its author, salvation for its goal, and truth for its content. All Christian Scripture is a testimony both concerning the history of God’s benevolent relationship with humanity and concerning Jesus Christ, who is Himself the focus of divine revelation.
Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ (the Messiah) was conceived by the Holy Spirit in Mary, a virgin, who gave birth to Jesus. In the incarnation of God, Jesus Christ, took human form and nature upon Himself, yet remains without sin. Jesus Christ, God incarnate, is simultaneously fully God and fully human. Jesus Christ died on the cross to provide atonement for our sin, was resurrected from the dead, and appeared to His disciples in His glorified body.
The Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit enables humanity to understand God’s truth; exalts Christ; and convicts persons of sin, righteousness, and divine judgment. The Holy Spirit immerses each believer into a relationship with Jesus Christ and other believers and seals each believer for the day of Christ’s final redemption.
Salvation
Salvation is the redemption by Jesus Christ of the whole person who truly believes in Him and follows him. Salvation, which is not possible apart from sincere belief in Jesus, brings the believer into a relationship of peace and favor with God. Salvation involves (1) regeneration, in which the individual believer becomes a new creature in Christ; (2) justification (acquittal of sin and guilt); and (3) sanctification, by which the believer is set apart for spiritual maturity and God’s purpose.
Last Things
God will bring the universe to its appropriate end when Jesus returns to resurrect deceased believers and to claim those who believe in Him and consign the nonbelievers to a place of everlasting punishment remote from God’s presence.
