In ESSENTIAL beliefs, we have UNITY.
In NONESSENTIAL beliefs, we have DIVERSITY.
In ALL of our beliefs, we promote LOVE.
1. We believe God wrote the Bible through men without error. (2 Timothy 3:16, 2 Peter 1:20-21)
2. We believe God exists eternally in trinity; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (Deut 6:4, 2 Cor 13:14)
3. We believe that Jesus Christ is the eternal God-man who became a man, (John 1:14) lived a sinless life (1 Peter 2:21-22), died on a cross, was buried, and physically rose from the grave to redeem sinful humanity. (Acts 4:10, Phi 2:7-11, Luke 23:26-24: 53)
4. We believe the Holy Spirit is the supernatural agent in salvation, baptizing all Christians into the universal church at conversion, indwelling and sealing them until the day of Christ's return. (John 16:8-11, 2 Cor 3:6, 1 Cor 12:12-14, Romans 8:9, Eph 5:18)
5. We believe all humans are sinful and in need of salvation. Salvation is the gift of God brought to humans by grace alone, and recieved by personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. A true Christian will be kept by God's power forever. (John 6:37-40, John 10:27-30, Romans 8:1, 1 Cor 1:4-8, 1 Peter 1:5)
6. We believe God has created all humans in his image. He has created them uniquely female and male. (Genesis 1:26-27)
7. We believe that Jesus is returning to earth to judge all people and to rule and reign with His saints forever. (Rev 22:12, 2 Tim 4:1)
