Jesus

We believe that Jesus is God and is eternal. Jesus came from Heaven to live on the earth, as fully God and fully as a human. He was born of a virgin, he lived a sinless life, he died on the cross to pay for our sins —and he resurrected to redeem all who are willing to receive Him as his/her LORD and Savior! We believe that Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life.. and that no one comes to Heavenly Father, except through Jesus as LORD.

God

We believe in one eternal God, Who is the Creator of all that is seen and all that is unseen. He exists in three Persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. These three Persons are the same ‘Being’.. with the same nature and character, while possessing some distinctions.. they exist as ONE in perfect unity.

Holy Spirit

We believe that the Holy Spirit is God, and He was sent to be our ever-present Comforter, Teacher, Advocate, and Guide.. in our journey, while at the same time —He also convicts us of sin, empowers us to righteousness, and reminds us of either a final judgment or great reward. We believe that all Christians can be baptized and filled with the Holy Spirit (who want Him and pursue Him for this new Life-union)! The Holy Spirit empowers believers with spiritual gifts such as prophecy and ‘speaking in tongues’ for the service of the church and world, as He also fills us personally with love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, faithfulness and self-control…

Salvation

We believe that salvation is a gift from God and cannot be ‘earned’ —but must be received by faith. Through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, God offers us a restored relationship with Himself.. both now {presently} and through eternity. We believe that God welcomes those who humbly come to Him, in repentance, personally asking for forgiveness (and so receiving it) as he/she accepts Jesus Christ, as his/her Lord and Savior.

The Bible

We believe that the Bible is God’s Word. It is trustworthy, accurate, authoritative, and completely relevant to our daily lives today (and forever)! We believe that all Scripture is inspired by God and is unchangeable in nature. It is reliable for correcting and instructing every person in the Ways of True Life and Abundant Life.

Heaven and Hell

We believe that Heaven and Hell are literal places (realms). We believe in the bodily return of Christ Jesus, the King. We believe King Jesus will judge every person according to the decisions he or she has made during life on earth. —This will result in some going with King Jesus into the great rewards of Everlasting Life in Heaven, while others who chose to deny Jesus as Lord have chosen to be eternally separated from God [in Hell]. We believe that God did not originally create Hell for any person, but as a place of separation and judgement for Satan and the demons… but because God gives every human an eternal spirit and the free-will choice of choosing his/her own path.. some people choose for themselves to want to be separated from God and His eternal realm of Heaven. For the believer who has put his/her faith in Jesus as his/her personal Savior, he/she has ‘access’ to Heaven, by the power of the Holy Spirit, even now in the ‘present age.’

The Church

We believe in the ‘universal’ community of believers, the spiritual family of God —that spans the globe and also includes the ‘great cloud of witnesses’ (the eternal spirits of people who chose God as their Lord, who have gone on ahead in the Heavenly realms, through the death of their earthly bodies). This ‘universal’ community of believers in Jesus as LORD make up the Church, which consists of many, smaller ‘local churches’ throughout the world. The Church is the spiritual family of God.. the sons & daughter of God, re-born (or ‘born again’) into this greater family through his/her salvation [receiving Jesus as his/her LORD]. We believe that every Christian should demonstrate ‘fruit’ of unconditional love (God’s supernatural portion of love), he/she will demonstrate their faith by speaking openly about Jesus as his/her personal Lord (including sharing the full Gospel '‘Good News’ of salvation through Christ, that gives each person access to eternal, fullness of life —available only through relationship with Jesus as God). We believe that the Church is called to make disciples of all nations and people groups, according to the commands of Jesus.
