WHAT WE BELIEVE
THE BIBLE
​
We believe that the Bible is God’s inspired, infallible and inerrant Word. The Bible is
authoritative and applicable to our everyday lives. Matthew 5:17-18; 24:35; Hebrews 4:12; 2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:19-21
GOD THE FATHER
God is a Trinity: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. He is our Creator, all-powerful, all-knowing, and
all-present, yet shows his love for us by giving us the ability to choose him. Exodus
3:14; Psalm 11:4-5; 34:8; Acts 17:28; Romans 3:3-4; Deuteronomy 30:19;
The Father is a God of love, mercy, grace, justice, and holiness, always looking out for his
children and desiring His very best for them. Romans 8:15, 32; 5:8; John 3:16; Malachi 4:6; Luke
12:24; James 1:17; Numbers 23:19; Leviticus 11:44-45; 19:2
JESUS CHRIST
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ was and is the eternal Son of God; that He became
man and was born of the virgin Mary. Matthew 1:23; Luke 24:39; John 1:1-4,John 1:14
We believe in His sinless life, death, and resurrection, and that He left us an example by
modeling the Christian life through His ministry. Acts 1:9; 2:22; 10:38; 1 1 Corinthians 15:4; 2 Cor
5:21; Eph 4:8-10; Hebrews 9:12; 1 Peter 2:22
HOLY SPIRIT
We believe that the Holy Spirit is one with the Father and the Son, convicts the world
concerning sin, regenerates and sanctifies believers, and guides them into all truth.
Ephesians 1:13-14; Luke 11:13; John 14:26; 16:8-11;Romans 8:14; 1 Peter 1:2
We believe that in order to live the holy and fruitful lives that God intends for us, we need to
be filled (controlled) by the power of the Holy Spirit, who lives inside every born-again
believer. Luke 24:49; Acts 1:4-5, 8; 2:1-4; 8:15-19; 11:14-17; 19:1-7
SALVATION
We believe that sin has separated each of us from God and His purpose for our lives and in
order to receive forgiveness and be “born again,” we must repent of our sins, believe in the
Lord Jesus Christ, and submit to His will for our lives. Romans 5:12-21; Titus 2:11; 3:5-7; 1 Peter
1:23; 1 John 5:1
