WHAT WE BELIEVE

• The Bible is the inspired Word of God and is our sole authority.
"The whole Bible was given to us by inspiration from God and is useful to teach us what is true and make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It straightens us out and helps us to do what is right.”
2 Timothy 3:15,16

• There is one God, eternally existent in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God
the Holy Spirit.
Matthew 28:19

• The deity of our Lord Jesus Christ and that He was conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He was born of a virgin (Luke 1:26-35), lived a sinless life (1 Peter 2:22). We believe in His miracles, His vicarious and atoning death for our sins, his bodily resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of the Father, His personal future return to this earth in power and glory to rapture His Church and to judge the world. Jesus Christ is the head of this church
(Col. 1:18). Because of that, we are a body and we work together (Romans 12:5). He is the source of our life.

• The Lord Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of God.
John 3:16

• Man was created in the image of God, but he sinned and therefore experienced physical death and spiritual death (which is separation from God). As a result, all people are born with a sinful nature and apart from Jesus Christ, are eternally lost.
Genesis 1:27, Romans 3:23, Ephesians 2:3-5

• The death, burial, bodily resurrection, ascension and exaltation of the Lord Jesus Christ.
1 Corinthians 15:3-8

• The shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ is sufficient for the salvation of man.
Hebrews 9:22

• The only means of being cleansed from sin and saved is to be born again, through repentance and faith in the atoning work of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Romans 10: 9-10 1Peter 1:23

• The Priesthood of every believer.
1 Peter 2:9, Revelation 1:6
