Values & Beliefs

We are a Bible-based congregation, called to worship Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. Here is an abstract of our beliefs in the Christian faith.

GOD

God is the creator and ruler of the universe. He has eternally existed in three personalities: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. These three are equal and one God.

JESUS

Jesus Christ is the Son of God.

He is equal with the Father. We believe Jesus lived a sinless human life and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice

for the sins of all people by dying on the cross. He arose from the dead after three days to demonstrate His power over sin and death, and He ascended to heaven, and will return again someday to earth to reign as King of kings and Lord of lords.

HOLY SPIRIT

The Holy Spirit is equal with the Father and Jesus. He is present in the world to make men aware of their need for Jesus Christ. He also lives in every Christian from the moment of salvation. He provides the Christian with power for living, understanding of spiritual truth, and guidance in doing what is right. He gives every believer a spiritual gift when they are saved. As Christians, we seek to live under His control daily.

THE BIBLE

The Bible is God’s inerrant word. It was written by human authors under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is the supreme source of truth for Christian beliefs and living. Because it is inspired by God, it is the truth without any mixture of error.

HUMAN NATURE

People are made in the spiritual image of God, to be like Him in character. People are the supreme object of God’s creation. Although every person has tremendous potential for good, we are marred by an attitude of disobedience towards God called “sin”.

This attitude separates people from God

and causes many problems in life.

SALVATION

Salvation is God’s free gift to us, but we must accept it. We can never make up for our sins by self-improvement or good works. Only by trusting in Jesus Christ (as God’s offer of forgiveness) can anyone be saved from sin’s penalty. When we turn from our self-ruled life and turn to Jesus in faith we are saved. Eternal life begins the moment one receives Jesus Christ into their life by faith.

ETERNAL SECTURITY

God gives us eternal life through Jesus Christ, the true believer is secure in salvation for eternity. If you have been genuinely saved, you cannot “lose” it. Salvation is maintained by the grace and power of God, not by the self-effort of the Christian. It is the grace and keeping power of God that gives us this security.

ETERNITY

People were created to exist forever. We will either: exist eternally separated from God by sin, or eternally with God through forgiveness and salvation. To be eternally separated from God is hell. To be eternally in union with Him is eternal life in heaven. Heaven and hell are real places of eternal existence.
