ABOUT GOD
God is the Creator and Ruler of the
universe. He has eternally existed in three persons: the Father, the Son
and the Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal and are one God.
ABOUT JESUS CHRIST
Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He is co-equal with the Father.
Jesus was born of a virgin, lived a sinless human life and offered
Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all men by dying on a
cross. He arose from the dead after three days to demonstrate His power
over sin and death. He ascended to Heavenīs glory and will return again
to reign as King of kings, and Lord of lords.
ABOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT
The Holy Spirit is equal with the Father and the Son as God. He
is present in the world to make men aware of their need for Jesus
Christ. He also lives in every Christian from the moment of salvation.
He provides the Christian with power for living, understanding of
spiritual truth, and guidance in doing what is right. The Christian
seeks to live under His control daily.
ABOUT MANKIND
Men and Women are made in the spiritual image of God, to be
like Him in character. He is the supreme object of Godīs creation.
Although we have tremendous potential for good, we are marred by an
attitude of disobedience toward God called "sin". This attitude
separates us from God.
ABOUT ETERNITY
Man was created to exist forever. He will either exist
eternally separated from God by sin, or in union with God through
forgiveness and salvation. To be eternally separated from God is Hell.
To be eternally in union with Him is eternal life. Heaven and Hell are
places of eternal existence.
ABOUT SALVATION
Salvation is a gift from God to man. Man can never make up for
his sin by self-improvement or good works. Only by trusting in Jesus
Christ as Godīs offer of forgiveness can man be saved from sinīs
penalty. Eternal life begins the moment one accepts Jesus Christ by
faith. We believe that when
people make that decision to accept the grace of God they respond by
acknowledging their own sinfulness, make a decision to accept the
Lordship of Jesus in their life and are baptized into Christ, being
united with his death, burial and resurrection.
ABOUT THE BIBLE
The Bible is Godīs word to all men. It was written by human authors,
under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is the supreme
source of truth for Christian beliefs and living. Because it is inspired
by God, it is truth without any mixture of error.
ABOUT THE CHURCH
God in His wisdom created
the church as a living body with Jesus as the only head.
God brought us together so that we can fulfill His purpose
through us.
