What We Believe
-
One God exists and expresses Himself as Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
-
God inspired people to write the Bible (His Word), revealing His plan and His love for us.
-
God created us all in His image and continually purses a love relationship with us.
-
Through the decision of one man (Adam) death entered the world, separating us from God. Since then, we're all born separate from God.
-
Through the sacrificial death and resurrection of one perfect man (Jesus, God-the-Son) we can re-connect with God.
-
Through belief in Jesus Christ as Lord and savior we can be forgiven of all our wrongs and to spend eternity with God. The choice is ours.
-
If we accept this gift of grace from God, He lives in us (spiritually), empowering us to live, love and help others know Him.
-
The Holy Spirit bears witness to the new birth, and also to the entire sanctification of believers.
-
Everyone who has accepted God's gift of grace (7) is a child of God and part of our family, regardless of their denomination, church affiliation (or none), race, nation or gender.
-
Diversity in interpreting God's Word in non-essentials is an opportunity for acceptance, learning and growth, not conflict and dissention.
-
Everyone who has not accepted God's gift (7) is still loved by God (2,3,5), and therefore, by God's children. God's children are like Him in the World.
-
Our Lord will return, the dead will be raised, and the final judgment will take place.
