We believe there is one divine being who has existed eternally. He exists and reveals Himself to man in three distinct, equally divine persons - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. While we cannot fully comprehend His divine nature, it is possible for people to know Him. At the beginning of time, God created the entire universe and all its creatures. He continues to exercise His supreme power to sustain His creation. Throughout history He has expressed His desire to be our God and to have a personal, eternal relationship with us. We believe that God loves you, has a plan for you and works all things out for good. 

Matthew 5:16, 45; 6:1, 4, 8, 9; 28:19; James 1:17; John 1:1; 3:16, 4:24; 14:9; 14:16 -20; Acts 17:24-28; Genesis 1:1, 2; 2 Peter 1:21; Hebrews 11:3; 1 John 4:8, Jeremiah 29:11, Romans 8:28.

We believe that Jesus is the eternal divine Son of God. He chose voluntarily to be made in human likeness and was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of a virgin. Although He lived a sinless life He allowed Himself to be executed by crucifixion. His death paid the penalty for the offenses of mankind against God. However, as prophesied, He rose from the dead three days after His execution. After appearing to witnesses on a number of occasions for forty days, He ascended into heaven where He now serves as the Mediator between God and man. We believe that at the end of time He will again visibly return to earth to complete His eternal plan. We believe that the name of Jesus is above every name and that there is by no other name that you can be saved.

Matthew 1:18; 21:11; 24:36-42; Luke 1:26 -38; 22:69; 23:1-24:8; John 1:1,14; 3:16; 14:1-3; 19:19; 20:24-29; Acts 1:1-11; 10:39-42; Romans 5:15-17; 1 Corinthians 15:3-8; Philippians 2:9-11; Colossians 2:9; 3:1; 1 John 1:1; 4:9; 1 Peter 4:5; 2 Peter 3:18; Acts 4:12

The third person of God is the Holy Spirit. We believe the Holy Spirit dwells in every Christ follower. His indwelling presence gives spiritual life to believers and distinguishes them as children of God. The Holy Spirit guides Christ followers in understanding and applying God's principles and values. Through the work of the Holy Spirit, Christ followers are empowered to live Christ-like lives. The Holy Spirit also equips Christ followers with talents and abilities for the purpose of building up God's kingdom.

John 14:26; 16:5 -15; Acts 1:7-8; 2:38; Romans 8:26 -27; 1 Corinthians 3:16; 6:19; 12:7; 2 Corinthians 3:18; Galatians 5:22, 23; 2 Timothy 1:14.

God divinely inspired human authors to write the sixty-six books of the Bible. He communicated through these writers the values, principles, and ideals which please Him and are in our best interests. We believe the Bible is entirely accurate, complete, and reliable. We look to the Bible for the revelation of the character of God and the final authority on all matters of faith and conduct.

Isaiah 40:8; Matthew 5:18; 24:35; Mark 12:36; John 14:26; 16:12-15; Acts 1:16; Romans 15:4; 1 Corinthians 2:12-13; 2 Timothy 3:14-17; Hebrews 1:1; 4:12; 2 Peter 1:20-21

Your inability to re-establish your relationship with God leaves you dependent on God's mercy, his actions. God graciously provided the means to reconcile this relationship through the sacrificial act of Jesus’s shed blood on the cross. Though there is nothing you can do to be good enough or earn your salvation, you do have a decision of accepting the grace God has extended to you.  Your response to his grace is an act of faith (trust) in Jesus Christ; this is like a moment of conception – in which the early stages of you saying yes to Jesus moves you toward repentance (turning back to God and depending on Him to lead your life), confession (acknowledging before others your acceptance of Jesus as Lord and Savior), being baptized-immersed (having a new “Birthday” as God cleanses you of your sins and gives you the gift of His Spirit) and beginning your new life together with other Christ Followers.

Matthew 10:32; 26:28; Luke 24:45-47; Acts 2:38; 3:19; 4:12; 17:30; Romans 3:23, 24; Roman 5:1-2, 9; 10:9; Galatians 3:27; Ephesians 2:8-9; Philippians 2:11; Colossians 2:12; 1 Peter 1:18 -19; 3:21; 2 Peter 3:9; 1 John 1:7; 4:15; 6:1-7.

Once your relationship is re-established with God, you will want to spend time with Him and get to know Him better. The Holy Spirit will enlighten you as you read His Word, the Bible; as you begin to communicate with Him in prayer; and as you enter into loving relationships, a Bible-based faith community, with other Christ followers. In this way you’ll begin to know God more personally. As you become more acquainted with God you will grow in your trust of Him, your desire to daily “walk” with Him, to honor Him in your life and begin looking for avenues of service because of Him.  As your faith continues to grow, you will desire to share with others the freedom, hope, and significance Jesus is bringing to your life. You will discover that God will continually develop your faith as you invite him into your daily struggles and decisions. You will realize that he will prepare you for, and be present in, all the experiences you will have along life’s journey; and that your failures and successes won’t separate you from the love that he has for you!
