What we believe

God created mankind to glorify and enjoy Him. But because of our sin, we were separated from him. In his love, God sent Jesus to die for our sins and to reconcile us to him. When we repent of our sins and trust in Jesus, we are forgiven and restored to a loving relationship with God.

Believers are thus reconciled to God and enter an everlasting love relationship with Him. They are here to serve God while waiting for the blessed hope of Jesus' return.

Our God & His Word

  • There is only one God, who eternally exists in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

    Genesis 1:1; Deuteronomy 6:4; Isaiah 44:6; Mathew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14

  • He is fully God, fully man, and equal with the Father. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He lived a sinless life, and was crucified for our sins. He rose from the dead on the third day, demonstrating his victory over sin and death. He ascended to heaven, and will return to reign as King of kings and Lord of lords.

    Matthew 1:18, 22-23; John 1:1-14; Romans 1:2-4; 1 Corinthians 15:1-4; Acts 1:9-11; 1 Timothy 6:14-15

  • The Holy Spirit is equal with God the Father and the Son. His ministry is to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ by making men aware of their sins and giving new lives to those who believe in Jesus. He lives in all Christians, guiding and teaching them so that they may understand God’s word and live a godly life.

    John 14:16-26; 16:7-14; Romans 8:9-16; Ephesians 1:13; 1 John 2:27

  • The Bible is the inspired Word of God, without error and completely trustworthy. It is the ultimate authority for Christian beliefs and living.

    Psalm 119:89, 160; 2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:21; Revelation 22:18-19

“The conviction that Christian doctrine matters for Christian living is one of the most important growth points of the Christian life.”

— Sinclair B. Ferguson

Our Lives

  • We are created in the image of God as His supreme creation, but we are separated from God because of sin and disobedience. However, God has provided us a way to be reconciled with Him through faith in Jesus.

    Genesis 1:27; 31; Romans 1:18, 3:23, 5:12, 18, 19; Isaiah 59:2; Romans 5:10; John 1:12

  • Man cannot make up for his sin by doing good. He can only be saved by receiving God’s gift of forgiveness by trusting Jesus, who died for man’s sins and rose from the dead three days later. Those who receive Jesus Christ by faith have their sins forgiven, receive eternal life, are reconciled with God, and become children of God.

    Ephesians 1:7, 2:8-9; John 14:6; Romans 3:25; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4; Romans 6:23; Romans 5:1; Galatians 3:26

  • In response to God’s love, and His gift of salvation by grace, believers seek to live for God every day under the control of the Holy Spirit. In order to understand God’s word, to know God’s will, walk in God’s way, and do God’s work, believers need the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit, which is given to every believer who yields to Him.

    Romans 12:1-2; Ephesians 5:18; Romans 6:13; Galatians 5:16-25

  • When Jesus Christ returns, all the dead will be raised. Those who have received forgiveness and salvation through trusting Jesus will spend eternity in heaven in God’s presence. Those who have rejected Jesus will suffer eternal punishment in hell.

    John 3:16; I Corinthians 15:52-57; 1 John 5:11-13; Daniel 12:2; John 5:29; Revelation 20:11-21:8

Our Community

  • The universal church is made up of all believers, who are united by their faith in Jesus Christ as His body. A local church is to reflect the truth of the universal church, especially in the areas of unity in love and truth, doing God’s work, growing as Jesus’ followers, and fulfilling the Great Commission of sharing the gospel.

    1 Corinthians 12:13; Ephesians 1:22-23, 4:1-6; 11-16, Matthew 28:18-20

  • Baptism is commanded by Jesus for all His followers. It is a Christian’s public declaration of his trust in Jesus Christ, identifying with His death, burial, and resurrection. Baptism is also a symbol of a Christian’s obedience to Jesus Christ and membership in the body of Christ, though it is not required for salvation.

    Matthew 28:19-20; Romans 6:1-4; 1 Corinthians 12:13

  • The ordinance of Communion was instituted by Jesus Christ as a symbol of the new covenant he made with believers. The bread and wine represent Jesus’ broken body and shed blood. Christians regularly celebrate communion to remember Jesus’ death and be reminded of the hope of His future return.

    Matthew 26:26-30; 1 Corinthians 11:23-26
