WHAT WE BELIEVE

We believe that the Bible is God's Word and is the ultimate authority in our lives. On this sure foundation of Scripture we also believe:

• There is one God, the sovereign Creator and Sustainer of all things, infinitely perfect, and eternally existing as three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

• Jesus Christ is truly God and yet at the same time became fully man through miraculous conception by the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Birth.

• Jesus Christ died an atoning death for sin and was raised bodily from the grave.

• Jesus Christ will return visibly, personally, and bodily for His Church.

• Salvation is a free gift of God given only to those who place their faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord.

• The Holy Spirit is given to Christians to draw us to faith in Christ, empower us for service, and form in us the character of Christ.

• All of the gifts of the Holy Spirit listed in the New Testament are valid and needed in the church today.

• The gospel must be preached to all nations.
