What We Believe

There is one eternal God who exists as God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.

Philippians 2:5-8 (NLT): “You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had. Though he was God, he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to. Instead, he gave up his divine privileges; he took the humble position of a slave and was born as a human being. When he appeared in human form, he humbled himself in obedience to God and died a criminal’s death on a cross.”

Matthew 28:19 (NLT) 19 Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

2 Corinthians 13:14 (NLT) 14 May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.

Jesus Christ is the way to God, our Heavenly Father, and the only path to a relationship with God is through our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

John 14:6 (NLT): “Jesus told him, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.’”

1 Timothy 2:5 (NLT): “For there is one God and one mediator who can reconcile God and humanity—the man Christ Jesus.”

Acts 4:12 (NLT): “There is salvation in no one else! God has given no other name under heaven by which we must be saved.”

Out of His unconditional and limitless love and His desire for a relationship with a family, God created human beings in His own image and endowed them with free will. Adam and Eve chose to disobey God, leading to their separation from Him. This event is known as the fall of humanity.

Genesis 1:26 (NLT): “Then God said, ‘Let us make human beings in our image, to be like us.’”

Genesis 3:6 (NLT): “The woman was convinced. The fruit looked so appealing and it would make her so wise! So she took some of the fruit and ate it. Then she gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it, too.”

Romans 5:12 (NLT) : “When Adam sinned, sin entered the world. Adam’s sin brought death, so death spread to everyone, for everyone sinned.”

God rescued humanity from the fall through Jesus Christ, His only begotten Son.

John 3:16 (NLT): “For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.”

Romans 5:8 (NLT): “But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.”

2 Corinthians 5:21 (NLT): “For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be made right with God through Christ.”

1 Peter 1:18-19 (NLT): “For you know that God paid a ransom to save you from the empty life you inherited from your ancestors. And the ransom he paid was not mere gold or silver. It was the precious blood of Christ, the sinless, spotless Lamb of God.”

Salvation is God’s free gift to all who accept Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior.

Ephesians 2:8-9 (NLT): “God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it.”

Romans 6:23 (NLT): “For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.”

John 1:12 (NLT): “But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God.”

We are saved from eternal damnation by accepting the salvation offered through Jesus Christ.

Acts 4:12 (NLT): “There is salvation in no one else! God has given no other name under heaven by which we must be saved.”

Romans 10:9-10 (NLT): “If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved.”

1 John 5:11-12 (NLT): “And this is what God has testified: He has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have God’s Son does not have life.”

The Bible is the infallible, living Word of God, inspired by the Holy Spirit. It is true and perfect, teaching us what is right, guiding us to please God, and correcting us when we are wrong. It contains answers to every problem and provides everything needed to live a successful Christian life.

2 Timothy 3:16-17 (NLT): “All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work.”

Hebrews 4:12 (NLT): “For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires.”

2 Peter 1:20-21 (NLT): “Above all, you must realize that no prophecy in Scripture ever came from the prophet’s own understanding, or from human initiative. No, those prophets were moved by the Holy Spirit, and they spoke from God.”

God’s Word affirms that hell is a reality for those who die without accepting the salvation offered through Jesus Christ. It is a place of unimaginable torment where souls are separated from God. However, God does not desire anyone to go there and has provided a way of escape through Jesus Christ.

Luke 16:23-24 (NLT): “In hell, there was a rich man who was in torment. He saw Abraham far away with Lazarus at his side. The rich man shouted, ‘Father Abraham, have some pity! Send Lazarus over here to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue. I am in anguish in these flames.’”

Revelation 20:14-15 (NLT): “Then Death and the Grave were thrown into the lake of fire. This lake of fire is the second death. And anyone whose name was not found recorded in the Book of Life was thrown into the lake of fire.”

John 3:36 (NLT): “And anyone who believes in God’s Son has eternal life. Anyone who doesn’t obey the Son will never experience eternal life but remains under God’s angry judgment.”

2 Peter 3:9 (NLT): “The Lord isn’t really being slow about his promise, as some people think. No, he is being patient for your sake. He does not want anyone to be destroyed, but wants everyone to repent.”
