Our Foundational Beliefs
One God
The Scripture teaches there is One and only One true and living God, who is self-existent, and the eternal “I AM,” the creator of heaven and earth, and the redeemer of mankind. We believe that He has chosen to reveal Himself as Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, the same in essence, though distinct in personality (Isaiah 43:10-11; Matthew 28:18-19). These three are one God, having the same nature, attributes, and perfection. They are worthy of the same homage and obedience (Mark 12:29; II Corinthians 13:14; Revelation 1Jesus Christ, the Son of God & the Son of Man Jesus was born miraculously of the Virgin Mary (Matthew 1: 23). He lived a sinless life (Hebrews 7:26). He came into the world to save men from the guilt and condemnation of sin (John 3:16), offering His blood as atonement (I Corinthians 15:3) and making it available to all who exercise faith in Him. He resurrected from the dead (Matthew 28:6). He is exalted to the right hand of God (Acts 1:9). His divinity is proved from His titles, His attributes, and His works (John 1:14). He is presently seated at the right hand of God the Father, interceding for His redeemed. We also acknowledge Jesus Christ as Lord over all things in Heaven, and in Earth, and under the Earth (John 1:12-14).
The Holy Spirit
The Scriptures ascribe to the Holy Spirit the acts and attributes of an intelligent being. He
guides, knows, moves, gives information, commands, forbids, sends forth, reproves, as the
instrumental segment of the God Head in the liberal dispersion of spiritual gifts, and can be
sinned against (I Corinthians 2:11; Genesis 1:2; Acts 10:19). The works of God are ascribed to the Holy Spirit; creation; inspiration, giving of life, and sanctification (Job 33:4; I Corinthians 6:11).
This Belief & Faith in Jesus Christ
Recognizing Jesus Christ as Lord & Savior, gives men and women the free gift of eternal life. After receiving salvation by faith through belief in Jesus Christ, the “Born-Again” believer may live free from the judgment of God, by living a life according to the teachings of the scriptures and trusting the Holy Spirit for the power to live a holy life according to God’s Word. ( John 1:29, 3:3, 1st Peter 1:19)
