What We Believe

1. God the Father

   We believe, love and worship the one and only unchanging, sovereign, and loving God, the Creator and Ruler of all things in heaven and earth. God is manifest in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

   Gen 1:1, 26 | 1 Chr 29:11-12 | Deut 6:4 | Ps 90:2 | 1 Peter 1:2

   Genesis 1, 26
   
   1. In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
   
   26. Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth."

   1 Chronicles 29:11-12
   
   Yours, O LORD, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, indeed everything that is in the heavens and the earth; Yours is the dominion, O LORD, and You exalt Yourself as head over all.
   
   Both riches and honor come from You, and You rule over all, and in Your hand is power and might; and it lies in Your hand to make great and to strengthen everyone.

   Deuteronomy 6:4
   
   Hear, O Israel! The LORD is our God, the LORD is one!

   Psalm 90:2
   
   Before the mountains were born
   Or You gave birth to the earth and the world,
   Even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God.

   1 Peter 1:2
   
   ...according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, by the sanctifying work of the Spirit, to obey Jesus Christ and be sprinkled with His blood: May grace and peace be yours in the fullest measure.

2. Jesus Christ (Son)

   Jesus Christ, our Lord, is God in the flesh. He is the Son of God, conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of a virgin, fully God, fully man, sinless. He died on the cross in our place for our sins, was buried, resurrected from the dead, ascended into heaven, and now sits at the right hand of God the Father, as our Advocate, and will return to judge the living and the dead.

   Hebrews 1:1-3 | Matthew 1:18-23 | John 1:1-18 | Acts 1:9-11 | Acts 2:22-24 | 1 Corinthians 15 | Revelation 5:9-14

   Hebrews 1:1-3
   
   God, after He spoke long ago to the fathers in the prophets in many portions and in many ways, in these last days has spoken to us in His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the world. And He is the radiance of His glory and the exact representation of His nature, and upholds all things by the word of His power When He had made purification of sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,

   Matthew 1:18-23
   
   Now the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows: when His mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child by the Holy Spirit. And Joseph her husband, being a righteous man and not wanting to disgrace her, planned to send her away secretly. But when he had considered this, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife; for the Child who has been conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. "She will bear a Son; and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins." Now all this took place to fulfill what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet: "BEHOLD, THE VIRGIN SHALL BE WITH CHILD AND SHALL BEAR A SON, AND THEY SHALL CALL HIS NAME IMMANUEL," which translated means, "GOD WITH US."

   John 1:1-18

   Acts 1:9-11
   
   And after He had said these things, He was lifted up while they were looking on, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. And as they were gazing intently into the sky while He was going, behold, two men in white clothing stood beside them. They also said, "Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come in just the same way as you have watched Him go into heaven."

   Acts 2:22-24
   
   "Men of Israel, listen to these words: Jesus the Nazarene, a man attested to you by God with miracles and wonders and signs which God performed through Him in your midst, just as you yourselves know--this Man, delivered over by the predetermined plan and foreknowledge of God, you nailed to a cross by the hands of godless men and put Him to death. "But God raised Him up again, putting an end to the agony of death, since it was impossible for Him to be held in its power.

3. Holy Spirit

   The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity, exalting Christ and convicting us of our sin and need for Jesus Christ. He fully lives in every believer from the moment of salvation. He comforts, teaches and empowers us to live in righteousness. He equips every believer with spiritual gifts for service in the Body of Christ.

   Mat 1:18 | Jn 14:16-17 | Acts 1:8 | 1 Cor 3:16 | 1 Peter 4:10

   Matthew 1:18
   
   Now the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows: when His mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child by the Holy Spirit.

   John 14:16-17
   
   "I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever;that is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see Him or know Him, but you know Him because He abides with you and will be in you.

   Acts 1:8
   
   you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth."

   1 Corinthians 3:16
   
   Do you not know that you are a temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?

   1 Peter 4:10
   
   As each one has received a special gift, employ it in serving one another as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.

4. Man

   Man is made in the image of God-created to worship God, to glorify Him, and to have dominion over the earth. Sin separates man from God and man is eternally doomed unless he receives salvation in Jesus Christ.

   Genesis 1:26 | Psalm 8:3-6 | Acts 17:26-31 | Romans 3:10-18, 23

   Genesis 1:26
   
   Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth."

   Psalm 8:3-6
   
   When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers,
   The moon and the stars, which You have ordained;
   What is man that You take thought of him,
   And the son of man that You care for him?
   Yet You have made him a little lower than God,
   And You crown him with glory and majesty!
   You make him to rule over the works of Your hands;
   You have put all things under his feet,

   Acts 17:26-31

   Romans 3:10-18, 23
   
   As it is written,
   "THERE IS NONE RIGHTEOUS, NOT EVEN ONE;
   11 THERE IS NONE WHO UNDERSTANDS,
   THERE IS NONE WHO SEEKS FOR GOD;
   12 ALL HAVE TURNED ASIDE, TOGETHER THEY HAVE BECOME USELESS;
   THERE IS NONE WHO DOES GOOD,
   THERE IS NOT EVEN ONE."
   13 "THEIR THROAT IS AN OPEN GRAVE,
   WITH THEIR TONGUES THEY KEEP DECEIVING,"
   "THE POISON OF ASPS IS UNDER THEIR LIPS";
   14 "WHOSE MOUTH IS FULL OF CURSING AND BITTERNESS";
   15 "THEIR FEET ARE SWIFT TO SHED BLOOD,
   16 DESTRUCTION AND MISERY ARE IN THEIR PATHS,
   17 AND THE PATH OF PEACE THEY HAVE NOT KNOWN."
   18 "THERE IS NO FEAR OF GOD BEFORE THEIR EYES."
   
   23 For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

5. Salvation

   Since all persons are separated from God by sin and are in need of forgiveness, God offers the free gift of salvation. Each person must individually accept this gift, repent of sin, and place faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord.

   Exodus 6:2-8 | Matthew 16:21-26 | John 3:15-16 | John 17:3 | Romans 5:1 | Romans 6:23 | Ephesians 2:8-9

   Exodus 6:2-8
   
   God spoke further to Moses and said to him, "I am the LORD; and I appeared to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, as God Almighty, but by My name, LORD, I did not make Myself known to them. "I also established My covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land in which they sojourned. "Furthermore I have heard the groaning of the sons of Israel, because the Egyptians are holding them in bondage, and I have remembered My covenant. "Say, therefore, to the sons of Israel, 'I am the LORD, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will deliver you from their bondage I will also redeem you with an outstretched arm and with great judgments. 'Then I will take you for My people, and I will be your God; and you shall know that I am the LORD your God, who brought you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians. 'I will bring you to the land which I swore to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and I will give it to you for a possession; I am the LORD.'"

   Matthew 16:21-26
   
   From that time Jesus began to show His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised up on the third day. Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him, saying, "God forbid it, Lord! This shall never happen to You." But He turned and said to Peter, "Get behind Me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to Me; for you are not setting your mind on God's interests, but man's."
   
   Then Jesus said to His disciples, "If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me. "For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it; but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. "For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?

   John 3:15-16
   
   So that whoever believes will in Him have eternal life. "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.

   John 17:3
   
   "This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.

   Romans 5:1
   
   Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

   Romans 6:23
   
   For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

   Ephesians 2:8-9
   
   For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast.

6. Eternal Security of the Believer

   We believe our true salvation, provided by the grace of God through faith in Jesus Christ alone, is eternally secure. It is imperishable and no man or circumstance can snatch us out of the powerful hand of God because Jesus Christ has made an everlasting covenant with us.

   Jn 10:28 | 2 Tim 1:12 | 1 Peter 1:4 | Heb 7:25 | 2 Sam 23:5 | Jn 3:36 | Jn 5:24 | Jn 14:6

   John 10:28
   
   I give eternal life to them, and they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand.

   2 Timothy 1:12
   
   For this reason I also suffer these things, but I am not ashamed; for I know whom I have believed and I am convinced that He is able to guard what I have entrusted to Him until that day.

   1 Peter 1:4
   
   to obtain an inheritance which is imperishable and undefiled and will not fade away, reserved in heaven for you,

   Hebrews 7:25
   
   Therefore He is able also to save forever those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.

   2 Samuel 23:5
   
   Truly is not my house so with God?
   For He has made an everlasting covenant with me,
   Ordered in all things, and secured;
   For all my salvation and all my desire,
   Will He not indeed make it grow?

   John 3:36
   
   He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.

   John 5:24
   
   Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.

   John 14:6
   
   Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.

7. Bible

   The Bible is the divinely inspired Word of God to reveal God and His will to man. The Bible has God as its author, salvation for its end, and truth without any mixture of error. The Bible is the sole authority for Christian living

   Deut 4:1-2 | Ps 12:6 | Ps 19:7-10 | Ps 119:105, 160 | Heb 4:12 | 2 Tim 3:16 | 2 Peter 1:20-21

   Deuteronomy 4:1-2
   
   "Now, O Israel, listen to the statutes and the judgments which I am teaching you to perform, so that you may live and go in and take possession of the land which the LORD, the God of your fathers, is giving you.
   
   "You shall not add to the word which I am commanding you, nor take away from it, that you may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.

   Psalm 12:6
   
   The words of the LORD are pure words; As silver tried in a furnace on the earth, refined seven times.

   Psalm 19:7-10
   
   The law of the LORD is perfect, restoring the soul;
   The testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.
   The precepts of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart;
   The commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.
   The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever;
   The judgments of the LORD are true; they are righteous altogether.
   They are more desirable than gold, yes, than much fine gold;
   (Sweeter also than honey and the drippings of the honeycomb.

   Psalm 119:105, 160
   
   The law of the LORD is [a]perfect, restoring the soul;
   The testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.
   The precepts of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart;
   The commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.
   The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever;
   The judgments of the LORD are true; they are righteous altogether.
   They are more desirable than gold, yes, than much fine gold;
   Sweeter also than honey and the drippings of the honeycomb.

   Hebrews 4:12
   
   For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

   2 Timothy 3:16
   
   All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness;

   2 Peter 1:20-21
   
   But know this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of one's own interpretation, for no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.

8. Priesthood of the Believer

   Every believer is a minister and has direct access to God through the high priest, Jesus Christ.

   Heb 4:14-16 | Heb 10:19-22 | Eph 3:7

   Hebrews 4:14-16
   
   Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin. Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

   Hebrews 10:19-22
   
   Therefore, brethren, since we have confidence to enter the holy place by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way which He inaugurated for us through the veil, that is, His flesh, and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.

   Ephesians 3:7
   
   ...of which I was made a minister, according to the gift of God's grace which was given to me according to the working of His power.

9. The Church

   Jesus Christ is the head of His Body, the Church. The Body of Christ is composed of believers. The purpose of the Church is to carry out His mission in the world and is best lived out in local, autonomous churches.

   Mat 16:15-19 | Acts 2:41-42, 47 | Rom 12:4-8 | Eph 4:10-16 | 1 Cor 12 | Rev 2-3

   Matthew 16:15-19
   
   He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." And Jesus said to him, "Blessed are you, Simon Barjona, because (E)flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of (G)Hades will not overpower it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and (I)whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven."

   Acts 2:41-42, 47
   
   So then, those who had received his word were baptized; and that day there were added about three thousand souls. They were continually devoting themselves to the apostles' teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.

   Romans 12:4-8
   
   For just as we have many members in one body and all the members do not have the same function, so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. Since we have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, each of us is to exercise them accordingly: if prophecy, according to the proportion of his faith; if service, in his serving; or he who teaches, in his teaching; or he who exhorts, in his exhortation; he who gives, with liberality; he who leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.

   Ephesians 4:10-16
   
   He who descended is Himself also He who ascended far above all the heavens, so that He might fill all things.) And He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as pastors and (F)teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of service, to the building up of the body of Christ; until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ. As a result, we are no longer to be children, tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, by craftiness in deceitful scheming; but speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into Him who is the head, even Christ, from whom the whole body, being fitted and held together by what every joint supplies, according to the proper working of each individual part, causes the growth of the body for the building up of itself in love.
