What We Believe
What We Believe
• About God
God is the Creator and Ruler of the universe. He has eternally existed in three
persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The three are co-equal and are one God.
• About Humanity
We are made in the image of God, to be like Him in Character. We are the supreme objects of God's creation, Although we have tremendous potential for good, everyone is. marred by an attitude of rebellion toward God called sin. Sin separates people from God.
• About Eternity
People are created to exist forever. Every person will either exist eternally separated from God by sin or in union with God through forgiveness and salvation. To be eternally separated from God is hell. To be eternally in union with Him is heaven. Heaven and Hell are places of eternal existence.
• About Salvation
Salvation is a gift from God to all people. Men and women can never make up for their sin by self-improvement or good works. Only by trusting in Jesus Christ as God's offer of forgiveness can a person be saved from sin's penalty. When God has begun a saving
work in the heart of any person, He gives assurance in His Word that He will continue performing it until the day of its full consummation.
• About Faith and Practice
Scripture is the final authority in all matters of faith and practice. This church recognizes that it cannot bind the conscience of individual members in areas where scripture is silent. Rather each believer is to be led in those areas by the Lord, to whom he or she is ultimately responsible.
