What We Believe

About God: God is 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.

About Mankind: We are all made in the spiritual image
of God, to be like Him in character. We are the supreme
object of God's creation. Although mankind has
tremendous potential for good, we are marred by an
attitude of disobedience toward God called "sin". This
attitude seperates us from God.

About Eternity: We all were created to exist forever.
We will either exist eternally seperated from God by sin,
or in union with God through forgiveness and salvation.
The place of eternal seperation from God is called Hell.
Heaven is the place of eternal union and eternal life with
God.

About Jesus Christ: 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 by dying on a cross. He arose from the dead after
three days to demonstrate His power over sin and death.
He arose to Heaven's glory and will return again to earth
to reign as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

About Salvation: Salvation is a gift from God to mankind.
We can never make up for our sin by self-improvement or
good works. Only by trusting in Jesus Christ as God's offer
of forgiveness can we be saved from sin's penalty. Eternal
life begins the moment we receive Jesus Christ into our life
by faith.

About the Holy Spirit: The Holy Spirit is equal with the
Father and the Son as God. He is present in the world to
make mankind aware of our need for Jesus Christ. He also
lives in every Christian form 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.

About the Bible: The Bible is God's word to all mankind.
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,
its truth is without any mixture of error.
