STATEMENT OF BELIEF
GOD
God is the Creator and Ruler of the universe. He has eternally existed in three persons: the
Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal and are one God.
Scripture References: John1:1; Genesis1:1,26-27,3:22, Deuteronomy 6:4; Psalm 90:2;
Isaiah 9:6,45:18; Matthew 28:19;2 Corinthians 13:14; I Peter 1:2; Matthew 3:16-17
GOD THE FATHER
We believe that God the Father holds all the attributes of God wile exercising a unique role in
the triune God. The Godhead is in agreement with the role of each: God as the Father, Son
as sacrifice, and Spirit as power. He is the father of Jesus Christ, by the power of the Holy
Spirit, and yet still one with both as God. The Father adopts believers into relationship with
him as their Father. With Christ, believers have the privilege of being heirs to God’s glory. He
actively prunes/disciplines believers to strengthen them for His glory.
Scripture References: Luke 1:35, Matthew 3:17; Romans 8:15-17; John 15:1 & 2;
Hebrews 12:7-11
JESUS CHRIST
Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He is co-equal with the Father as God. Jesus lived a sinless
human life and offered himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all people by dying on
the cross. He arose from the dead after three days to demonstrate His power of sin and
death. He ascended to Heaven’s glory and will return again someday to claim His own and
take them to Heaven.
Scripture References: Isaiah 9:6, Matthew 1:22-23; John1:1-5; 8:58,14:10-30; Acts 1:9-11;
Romans 1:3-4; I Corinthians 15:3-4; I Timothy 6:14-15; Titus 2:13; Hebrews 4:14-15;
Revelation1:8
THE HOLY SPIRIT
The Holy Spirit is co-equal with the Father and the Son of God. He is present in the world to
make men aware of their need for Jesus Christ. He also lives in every Christian from the
moment of salvation. He provides the christian with power for living, understand of spiritual
truth, and guidance in doing what is right. As Christians we seek to live under His control
daily.
Scripture References: John 14:16-17, 16:7-13, 17; Acts 1:8; Romans 5:5; I Corinthians 2:12;
3:16; 2 Corinthians 3:17; Galatians 5:25; Ephesians 1:13, 5:18
SALVATION
Salvation is God’s free gift to us, but we must accept it. We can never make up for our sin by
self-improvement or good works. Only by trusting in Jesus Christ and God’s offer of
forgiveness can anyone be saved from sin’s penalty. When we turn form our self-ruled life and
turn to Jesus in faith we are saves. Eternal life begins the moment one receives Jesus Christ
as Lord of his life. This is evidenced by repentance, confession, baptism by immersion, and a
life committed to His service.
Scripture References: John 1:12, 14:6; Romans 5:1,6:23; Galatians 3:26; Ephesians 2:8-9;
Titus 3:5
ETERNITY
People will either exist eternally separated from God by sin, or eternally with God through
forgiveness and salvation. To be eternally separated from God is eternal death in Hell. To be
eternally in union with Him is eternal life in Heaven. Heaven and Hell are real places of
eternal existence.
Scripture References: John 3:16,14:17; Romans 6:23,8:17-18; 1 Corinthians 2:7-9;
Revelation 20:15
ETERNAL SECURITY
All true believers continue forever. Believers that God has accepted in Christ and set apart for
His work by His Spirit will never lose their salvation. Believers may sin because of neglect and
temptation; however, even though they may sin, true believers are still saved by the power of
God through faith in Jesus Christ.
Scripture References: John 10:28; Romans 8:29-30; I John 2:9
THE BIBLE
The Bible is God’s Word to us. It was written by human authors, under the supernatural
guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is the supreme source of truth for Christian beliefs. Because it is
inherited by God, it is the truth without any mixture or error. The Bible is infallible, inerrant,
and absolute truth. Where it speaks we listen and obey.
Scripture References: Psalms 12:6, 119:105, 160; Proverbs 30:5; 2 Timothy 1:13,3:16; 2
Peter 1:20-21
