1. One Holy God
Eternally existent in three persons: the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
2. The Holy Bible
Is the inspired, infallible, authoritative Word of God and the source of Christian belief and teaching.
3. Man
Was created in the image of God but fallen because of our sin – lost and powerless to save himself.
4. Jesus Christ
Is the virgin-born Son of God and was crucified to take upon Himself the punishment for the sin of all mankind. He arose from the dead; thereby conquering sin, death, and the grave. Jesus will personally return to the earth in glory and take Christians to Heaven.
5. Man’s Only Hope
Is to believe in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord.
6. What We Celebrate
Water Baptism and Holy Communion are among the ways we celebrate the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Every service is a celebration of the hope we have in Christ.
7. Healing
Consistent with His ministry on earth, Jesus Christ still offers healing for our physical, relational, and emotional needs.
8. Holy Spirit
Indwells those who receive Christ and empowers believers to live righteous and holy lives. We believe in the Baptism of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues, along with the Gifts of the Spirit found in 1 Corinthians 12. We believe these gifts are available to believers today.
9. Lifestyle
When a life is changed by the love of Christ, we begin a journey of becoming like Christ. It is displayed inwardly by joy and peace; outwardly by a life of integrity and service; and relationally by love and grace. Our lives are directed by the commandments found in God’s Word and the leadings of the Holy Spirit.
11. Eternity
Jesus will return and show himself to be King of Kings. No one knows the day or time that he will return. Life as we know it will come to an end and everyone will be held accountable for the choices in their lives. Heaven awaits those who have a personal relationship with God, without the influence of evil and pain. Separation from God (Hell) is filled with sorrow and awaits those who reject Christ as their savior.
12. The Church
The Body of Christ, of which Jesus Christ is the head, is comprised of believers who have been spiritually changed by the atonement of Jesus Christ and the personal work of the Holy Spirit. Christians are called to pursue God’s mission, both collectively and individually. For some it is a vocation, for all it is a passion.
