We believe that the
Word of God is without error and perfect. It communicates God's love and guidance for our lives. |
|
We believe that life makes sense only in light of a God who is Holy, personal, relational and full of Love. |
|
We believe that God
made the world and everything in it. |
|
We believe that God
made us humans to live in this world of peace and joy, sharing His love with one another. |
|
We believe that God
paid us the highest compliment by giving us the freedom to say YES or NO to His desires.
Sadly, our NO has led us all down the road to alienation, self-destruction and death - which will ultimately lead us to eternal separation from God in a real place called hell. |
|
We believe that God so
loved us humans that He gave His one and only Son, Jesus Christ, and that by believing in
Him, we could be restored and have everlasting life. |
|
We believe that Jesus
came to us as God in the flesh, born of a virgin. He taught us how to live with Him in
God's Kingdom. Although He was perfect, He suffered for our wrong doings and was put to
death for our sinful ways. He did this so that we might be restored to a right
relationship with God, with others. and with ourselves. After He was killed, Jesus was
raised back to life and then went home to be with His Heavenly Father. |
|
We believe that Jesus
sent His Holy Spirit, calling all people everywhere to accept by faith, His free gift of
everlasting life, that they may be saved and be part of the Kingdom of God. |
|
We believe that all who
follow Jesus into God's Kingdom discover a community of fellow believers and friends that
becomes our spiritual home. We call it the church. Jesus calls it His body. |
|
We believe that the
purpose of the church is to continue Jesus' work of loving all people and helping them
understand and establish a personal relationship with a Holy God. |
|
We believe that there
is an evil presence in the universe who seeks to undermine all good things that God is
doing in the world, in the church, and in our personal lives. We resist the evil one, satan, through prayer, instruction from God's Word, perseverance and the support of fellow
believers. |
|
We believe that God is
guiding human history according to His own perfect plan. One day, Jesus Christ will come back to
earth, and that will be the end of the world as we know it. On that day, God will make all
things new, heal all wounds and reveal His love fully and perfectly to those who believe
in Jesus Christ. Those who do not believe in Jesus Christ will be lost forever, separated
from God, in hell. |
