Matthew 16:18-19 | Acts 2:42-47 | Romans 12:5 | Hebrews 10:24-25
The CHURCH is a local community of baptized believers unified through their pursuit of Christ. It is committed to the teachings of the Word and making disciples in the observance of its truths. The Church works together in love and unity, intent on the ultimate purpose of revealing and glorifying Christ.
Isaiah 11:2 | John 14:26; 15:26; 16:7-14 | Acts 1:8; 2:38 | Romans 15:13
The HOLY SPIRIT is the assurance of our salvation in Jesus Christ. He convicts our hearts of our sins, leads us into all understanding of the Word of God, and empowers us to live a life worthy of our calling. We believe the HOLY SPIRIT is imparted into us through our repentance and baptism to symbolize our death to sin and resurrection to life.
Matthew 8:12; 18:9; 25:41,46 | Mark 9:42-48 | John 3:16 | Romans 6:23 | 2 Thessalonians 1:9
We are presented with a decision with ETERNAL implications. We will either exist forever separated from God because of sin or in union with Him through accepting Jesus as our Lord and Savior. Free choice is a gift given to humanity to decide whether to be apart from God in Hell or with him in Heaven.
Matthew 1:21 | Luke 2:28-32 | John 1:12; 3:16, 36 | Acts 2:21; 4:12; 16:30-31 | Romans 10:9
SALVATION is required as a result of SIN and offered through our personal acceptance of Jesus’ death on the cross for us. Salvation is not earned but a gift given by God through grace. We believe that Jesus is the only way to overcome the sin that separates us from a relationship with God.
Isaiah 7:14 | Matthew 1:18-23; 3:17; 16:16; 28:5-6 | Luke 24:46-47 | John 10:30; 11:25-27; 17:1-5
JESUS, completely human and God while on Earth, was the Son of God born of virgin birth and sent to pay the ultimate price for our sins in his death. His resurrection demonstrated his divinity as well as his declaration that we might live a life of calling as we die to our sinful nature. His documented life in the Gospels demonstrates the loving heart of the Father and the direction and power of the Holy Spirit.
Deuteronomy 6:4 | Isaiah 9:6 | John 1:1,14; 14:11; 16:13-15 | Matthew 28:19
GOD exists eternally and reveals Himself to us in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. These three, known as the Trinity, are co-equal and are one God.
2 Timothy 3:16 | Romans 15:4 | Deuteronomy 4:1-2 | Matthew 5:17-18
The BIBLE is God’s divine Word given for all people. It consists of 66 books that were written by the pen of human authors who were inspired by the Holy Spirit to reveal God and his perfect plan for humanity. Its truth is inerrant and completely relevant to our daily lives.
