Our Beliefs At the center of our beliefs is everyone’s need for a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ. The Bible, which is uniquely inspired by God and absolutely true, reveals God’s plan for this relationship. As the Bible teaches, there is one God, who exists eternally in three persons – Father, Son and Holy Spirit – each possessing the full attributes of God. God created us to have an ongoing personal relationship with Him. We, by nature, through our actions and attitudes ignore and reject who God is and His plan for us – the Bible calls this sin. Because God is holy, He cannot accept our sin and this causes our relationship with Him to be broken. The Bible teaches that the penalty for sin is death – which is eternal separation from God. Jesus Christ, the one and only Son of God, lived a sinless life on earth and voluntarily paid for our sin by dying on a cross as our substitute. What this means is that Jesus Christ provided the means by which our broken relationship with God could be completely restored – this is salvation! Salvation comes only through God’s grace and must be received personally by individual repentance and faith. We also believe Jesus was born of a virgin, died on the cross, rose from the dead, and now acts as the only mediator between us and God. Someday Jesus will return to earth to fulfill God’s plan. Until then, the Holy Spirit equips those who have by faith received God’s grace with spiritual gifting, allowing for growth and service in the local church.
