our beliefs

We believe the Bible is Holy Scripture and absolute truth. That contained within it's pages, both New and Old Testaments, is the divinely inspired words of God the Father, the Son (Jesus Christ) and the Holy Spirit. That God moved holy men of faith to write, speak and proclaim His sovereign truths for the purpose of our coming to know Him. That the Bible contains all that is necessary for us to believe in, be reconciled to, walk in active relationship with and live an earthly life that pleases Him who is the giver of all life. And that He, as the keeper of all things, continues to move and oversee various translations of His original given words for the purpose of our salvation through Jesus Christ, the Messiah. (2 Peter 1:20, 21; 2 Tim. 3:16, 17; Ps. 119:105; Prov. 30:5, 6; Isa. 8:20; John 17:17; 1 Thess. 2:13; Heb. 4:12.)

There is only one true God. That He is self-revealed to us as God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, a unity of three-in-one. That God is infinite, immortal, above all and always present. That He sees all, knows all, and is all powerful. That He is beyond complete human comprehension, yet has made himself sufficiently known and available to us. That He is forever worthy of being our most precious relationship. And that He is most worthy of our allegiance to be adored, worshiped and served by all of creation. (Deut. 6:4; Matt. 28:19; 2 Cor. 13:14; Eph. 4:4-6; 1 Peter 1:2; 1 Tim. 1:17; Rev. 14:7.)

That God so loves us that He gave His only Son to die in our place so that we could be reconciled to Him (salvation). That everyone who places their faith in Jesus Christ can live eternally. That without the acceptance of the gift of His Son, we have chosen to live a measured life here on earth without any hope of an eternal relationship with God beyond this life. That the acceptance of His Son as the gift can not be earned or repaid but is the free gift of God's grace revealed to us through His Word. That through Christ we are restored as God's sons and daughters and delivered from the power of sin over us. (2 Cor. 5:17-21; John 3:16; Gal. 1:4; 4:4-7; Titus 3:3-7; John 16:8; Gal. 3:13, 14; 1 Peter 2:21, 22; Rom. 10:17; Luke 17:5; Mark 9:23, 24; Eph. 2:5-10; Rom. 3:21-26; Col. 1:13, 14; Rom. 8:14-17; Gal. 3:26; John 3:3-8; 1 Peter 1:23; Rom. 12:2; Heb. 8:7-12; Eze. 36:25-27; 2 Peter 1:3, 4; Rom. 8:1-4; 5:6-10.)

As revealed in the Bible, Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He lived a life of perfect obedience to God's will thereby becoming the Messiah or sacrifical lamb. That His birth, life, ministry, suffering, death and resurrection, provides the only means by which God will accept forgiveness for our perpetual sin nature. That those who by faith accept this sacrifice will be saved from death as revealed by Christ's resurrection. That to seek knowing God is to believe and know His Son who gives to the whole of creation an understanding of the infinite and holy love of the Creator of all things. (John 3:16; Isa. 53; 1 Peter 2:21, 22; 1 Cor. 15:3, 4, 20-22; 2 Cor. 5:14, 15, 19-21; Rom. 1:4; 3:25; 4:25; 8:3, 4; 1 John 2:2; 4:10; Col. 2:15; Phil. 2:6-11.)
