What We Believe
ABOUT GOD
God is the Maker and Ruler of the universe. Not only
is the Creator, He is our Heavenly Father. He loves us as
no other can and will provide for all our needs. He is present
everywhere, so that we can never be separated from his love.
ABOUT JESUS CHRIST
Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of God who gave
His life as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of the world. After
three days in the grave, he arose from the dead and is alive forevermore.
He is King of King and Lord of Lords who will be finally victorious
over all evil. He is the means by which our sins are forgiven
and the only means by which we can be reconciled to God.
ABOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT
The Holy Spirit is co-equal with the Father and the Son,
three Persons in the triune God. He is "the other Comforter" who
dwells in the hearts of all who follow Jesus, convincing us of
the truth of Christ's teachings and empowering us to live as God's
people before a watching world.
ABOUT HUMANITY
Human beings are by nature sinful and cannot make themselves good
enough to stand before a Holy and Righteous God. We can only be
made righteous by God's Grace and our acceptance of God's forgiveness
through Jesus' sacrifice on the cross. Through our faith in Jesus,
we will be given be given new life, and this life is eternal.
ABOUT THE BIBLE
The Bible is the inspired word of God. It is our only guide to
show us what we should believe and how we should live. It is for
everyone to read so that all may hear God speak to their hearts
and minds.
ABOUT THE CHURCH
The Church is made up of people of every race who believe
in Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the Head of the Church, and the
members are His Body. Children of church members are called "children
of the covenant." Their baptism is a sign and seal of this covenant
relationship and of their membership in the Christian family.
The mission of the church is to make Jesus Christ known throughout
the whole world.
ABOUT THE SACRAMENTS
We have two sacraments, instituted by Christ in the new covenant,
or testament. They are baptism and the holy supper, or communion.
