Our Beliefs
There is one true God who reveals himself to the
world as the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, commonly referred to today
as the Trinity doctrine (Matthew 28:19).
Jesus, the Son of God, is our one and only Lord
and Savior. He was crucified as a sacrifice for our sins and rose from
the dead after three days. (John 14:6, Acts 2:22-24)
The Bible is the only written message of God and
is inspired by the Holy Spirit. (2 Timothy 3:16-17, 2 Peter
1:19-21) A person is saved by
the grace of God through faith in Jesus. (Ephesians 2:1-10, Romans
3:23-25). Each individual must, through faith and obedience, reach out
to receive this free gift of salvation when they are mature enough to
understand the consequences of their sins (James 2:14-26, Luke
14:25-33)
When people repent
and are baptized, their sins are forgiven and the Holy Spirit begins to
work in their lives (Acts 2:36-41).
Only baptized disciples are members of God's
church (1 Corinthians 12:12-13).
The greatest command in the Bible is as Jesus
stated in Matthew 22:37-39: to love God with all your heart and mind,
and to love your neighbor as yourself.
While salvation is based on grace and not our
good works, disciples have a responsibility to live and work for God as
laid out in the Bible. This includes helping others to become disciples
(Matthew 28:18-19), training or discipling one another to love God and
stay faithful to Him (Matthew 28:20, Hebrews 3:12-13, Colossians
1:28-29), and serving the poor and needy (James 1:27)
