Our Essential Beliefs

About 

GOD

God is the Creator and Ruler of the universe.

He has eternally existed in three personalities:

the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

These three are equal and are one God.

Genesis 1:1,26,27; 3:22

Psalm 90:2

Matthew 28:19

I Peter 1:2

II Corinthians 13:14

About 

Jesus Christ

Jesus is the Son of God.

He is co-equal with the Father.

Jesus lived a sinless life and offered Himself as the perfect

sacrifice for the sins of all people by dying on a cross.

He arose from the dead after three days

to demonstrate His power over sin and death.

He ascended to Heaven’s glory and will return again someday

to earth to reign as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

About 

The Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit is co-equal with the Father and the Son of God.

He is present in the world to make men aware of their need for Jesus Christ.

He also lives in every Christian, giving believers

understanding of spiritual truth and guidance in doing what is right.

He gives every believer a spiritual gift when they are saved.

As Christians, we seek to live under His control daily.

II Corinthians 3:17

John 16:7-13; 14:16, 17

About 

The Bible

The Bible is God’s Word to us.

Human authors, under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit, wrote it.

It is the supreme source of truth for Christian beliefs and living.

Because God inspires it, it is the truth without any mixture of error.

II Timothy 1:13; 3:16

II Peter 1:20, 21

Psalm 119:105, 160; 12:6

Proverbs 30:5

About 

Humanity

People are made in the spiritual image of God, to be like Him in character. People are the supreme object of God’s creation.

Although every person has the tremendous potential for good,

all of us are marred by an attitude of disobedience toward God called “sin”.

This attitude separates people from God and causes many problems in life.

Genesis 1:27

Psalm 8:3-6

Isaiah 53:6a; 59:1,2

Romans 3:23

About 

Salvation

Salvation is God’s free gift to us but we must accept it.

We can never make up for our sin by self-improvement or good works.

Only by trusting in Jesus Christ as God’s offer of forgiveness

can anyone be saved from sin’s penalty.

When we turn from our self-ruled life and turn to Jesus in faith we are saved.

Eternal life begins the moment one receives Jesus Christ into his life by faith.

Romans 6:23

Ephesians 2:8, 9

John 1:12; 14:6 

Titus 3:5

Galatians 3:26

Romans 5:1

About 

Eternal Security

Because God gives us eternal life through Jesus Christ,

the true believer is secure in that salvation for eternity.

If you have been genuinely saved, you cannot “lose” it…

The grace and power of God maintain salvation,

not by the self-effort of the Christian.

It is the grace and power of God that gives us eternal life.

John 10:29

II Timothy 1:12

Hebrews 7:25; 10:10; 14

I Peter 1:3-5

About 

Eternity

People were created to exist forever.

We will either exist eternally separated from God by sin

or eternally 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 real places of eternal existence.

John 3:16

John 14:17

Romans 6:23, 8:17-18

Revelation 20:15
