WHAT WE BELIEVE
God is the creator and ruler of the universe. He has
eternally existed in three persons – the Father, the
Son, and the Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal and
are one God.
Genesis 1:1, 26, 27; 3:22; Psalm 90:2; Matthew 28:19; 1
Peter 1:2; 2; Corinthians 13:14
Man
is
made
in
the
spiritual
image
of
God,
to
be
like
him
in
character.
He
is
the
supreme
object
of
God’s
creation.
Although
man
has
tremendous
potential
for
good,
he
is
marred
by
an
attitude
of
disobedience
toward
God
called "sin." This attitude separates man from God
Genesis 1:27; Psalm 8:3-6; Isaiah 53:6a; Romans 3:23; Isaiah 59:1, 2
ABOUT MAN
ABOUT ETERNITY
ABOUT JESUS CHRIST
Man
was
created
to
exist
forever.
He
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
eternal
life.
Heaven
and
hell
are
places
of
eternal
existence.

Jesus
Christ
is
the
Son
of
God.
He
is
co-equal
with
the
Father.
Jesus
lived
a
sinless
human
life
and
offered
himself
as
the
perfect
sacrifice
for
the
sins
of
all
men
by
dying
on
a
cross.
He
arose
from
the
dead
after
three
days
to
demonstrate
His
power
over
sin
and
death.
He
ascended
to
heaven’s
glory
and
will
return
again
to
earth to reign as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

Salvation
is
a
gift
from
God
to
man.
Man
can
never
make
up
for
his
sin
by
self-improvement
or
good
works
–
only
by
trusting
in
Jesus
Christ
as
God’s
offer
of
forgiveness
can
man
be
saved
from
sin’s
penalty.
Eternal
life
begins
the
moment
one
receives
Jesus
Christ
into his life by faith.

ABOUT SALVATION
ABOUT ETERNAL SECURITY
ABOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT
Because
God
gives
man
eternal
life
through
Jesus
Christ,
the
believer
is
secure
in
salvation
for
eternity.
Salvation
is
maintained
by
the
grace
and
power
of
God,
not by the self-effort of the Christian.
John 10:29; 2 Timothy 1:12; Hebrews 7:25; 10:10, 14; 1 Peter 1:3-5
The
Holy
Spirit
is
equal
with
the
Father
and
the
Son
as
God.
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.
The
Christian seeks to live under his control daily.

The
Bible
is
God’s
word
to
all
men.
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 truth without any mixture of error.

ABOUT THE BIBLE
ABOUT BAPTISM
ABOUT COMMUNION
Baptism
by
immersion
symbolizes
the
death,
burial,
and
resurrection
of
Jesus
and
is
your
public
declaration
that
you
have
accepted
Jesus
Christ
as
your
personal
Savior.
Baptism
does
not
save
you,
but
shows
the
world
that
you
have
already
been
saved.
And
while
baptism
is
not
required
for
salvation,
it
is
a
biblical
command
and
demonstrates your love and obedience to Christ.
Colossians 2:12; Acts 2:41; Ephesians 2: 8-9; Matthew 28:19-20
Communion,
or
the
Lord’s
Supper,
is
an
ordinance
given
to
all
believers
by
Jesus
Christ
to
remember
his
sacrifice
for
us
and
to
symbolize
the
new
covenant.
The
elements
of
bread
and
wine
or
juice
are
symbols
of
Christ’s
broken
body
and
shed
blood.
Communion
is
not
a
means
of
salvation.
Rather,
it
is
a
testament
of
a
believer’s faith in the atoning work of the cross.
