We Believe:
1. WE BELIEVE there is only one eternal God represented to us in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. 1 John 5:6-7, Matt. 28:19
2. WE BELIEVE that the Bible is the infallible Word of God, inspired by the Holy Spirit and written by men for faith and living a holy life. 2 Tim. 3:16, 2 Pet. 1:20-21
3. WE BELIEVE in Jesus, fully God and fully man, conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of a virgin, who died atoning for our sins, who rose from the dead victorious over Satan, sin, sickness and death, and who established a New Covenant. Is. 53:5-4, Luke 22:20, Col. 2:15, Rev. 1:18
4. WE BELIEVE that all mankind must be born anew through their confession of Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord. At the resurrection, those who are saved will live eternally with the Father, but those who have rejected Jesus will live separated from Him forever. Luke 16:19-26, Rom. 3:23, Rom. 10:9-10
5. We BELIEVE that it is by grace that we are saved through faith. Grace is His empowering presence that allows us to become more like Jesus walking as sons/daughters. Through His grace we can expect His favor in all we do. 2 Cor. 9:8, Eph. 2:8
6. WE BELIEVE that the Holy Spirit is the embodiment of the Father and Son in us releasing His love and the fruit of the Spirit to others. The baptism of the Holy Spirit is a separate faith experience enabling the believer to also flow in the gifts of the Holy Spirit as He wills for the benefit of all. Acts 1:8, Rom. 8:9, 15-16, 1 Cor. 12:7-11, Gal. 5:22-23
7. WE BELIEVE in the unity of believers to become one new man in our Lord Jesus Christ where there is total equality across all boundaries of race, gender, class, and Christian or Jewish differences. We are created to receive His love and love one another as His life flows through us. John 13:34, Gal. 3:26-28, Eph. 2:14-17
8. WE BELIEVE in water baptism as symbolic of our death to the flesh and our cleansing through the power of God, and it testifies of our faith in Jesus Christ. Rom. 6:3-4, Col. 2:12
9. WE BELIEVE that Father perfectly loves and accepts us just the way we are. Jesus came to reveal His Father and make the way for all to become a part of Father’s glorious family. He is our Abba (Daddy) and loves us as sons and daughters just as much as He loves Jesus. John 17:23, Eph. 1:4-6, 1 John 3:1
