We believe that the Bible is God’s written word, without error or defect in the original manuscripts, written by humans under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. Hence, the Bible is God’s supreme and final authority for what we believe and how we ought to live.
We believe in one true God, eternally existing in three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. While all three are one God in essence, each is personally distinct from the others.
We believe that God freely created from nothing all things through His Son, Jesus Christ. God alone is the sustainer of all things, sovereign in His rule over all things, to the end that His glory might be made fully manifest to all creation.
We believe that God created, as the crown of His creation, man and woman in His own image that they may enjoy God forever. Tempted by Satan they rebelled against God and fell into the bondage of sin. Estranged from their Maker they became incapable of returning to God apart from His divine intervention.
We believe that Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of God. Born of a virgin through the Holy Spirit, Jesus is perfect Deity and true humanity united in one person forever. Jesus offered Himself as a sacrifice on the cross for our redemption, was buried, resurrected on the third day, and ascended to the right hand of the Father in heaven as our advocate. Someday He will return to earth to consummate history and fulfill God’s eternal plan.
We believe in the Holy Spirit who is present in the world to convict people of sin and draw them to believe in the risen Christ. The Holy Spirit indwells, teaches, gifts, and intercedes for each believer, empowering and equipping them to administer God’s grace to all, especially the lost, the poor, and the oppressed.
We believe God’s salvation is granted when a person places their trust in Christ alone as Savior and Lord. This salvation is a free gift of God and not based on human merit. The believer is justified by God -- Christ became sin on our behalf so that we might become righteous before God in Christ -- and is adopted as a child of God and a joint heir with Christ.
We believe all believers are members of the body of Christ, the one true Church universal. It is the Church alone that has been entrusted with the mission to bring God’s message of hope to a lost people and raise them to grow spiritually into the likeness of Christ.
