Core Beliefs
THE BIBLE
We believe the Bible is the verbally, fully inspired Word of God, that it has absolute authority over all wisdom, and that it teaches us what we are to believe and how we are to live.
1 Corinthians 2:7-14; 2 Peter 1:20-21; 2 Timothy 3:16
GOD
We believe in one God eternally existing in three persons, namely, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Deuteronomy 6:4; Isaiah 45:5-7; 1 Corinthians 8:4; John 4:24; Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14
JESUS
We believe Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of the Father, conceived of the Holy Spirit, and born of the Virgin Mary. That Jesus was crucified, died, was buried, and raised from the dead. That He ascended to Heaven and is today at the right hand of the Father as the Intercessor.
Matthew 1:23; Luke 1:31; Luke 1:35; Hebrews 7:26; 1 Peter 2:22; Acts 2:22; Acts 10:38; 1 Corinthians 15:4; Acts 1:9; Acts 1:11; Philippians 2:9-11; Hebrews 1:3
THE HUMAN CONDITION
We believe all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God and that repentance is commanded of God for all and necessary for the forgiveness of sins.
