What We Believe As A Church Family

The Trinity - We believe that God the Father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Spirit are all One. We believe that though they may work separately from each other, they none the less are still one in power and love. They were together in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3:22). Jesus was God in the flesh on earth and the Holy Spirit is the presence of God on the earth today. We use the phrase Three in One to describe our faith in the principle of the Trinity.

The Inspired Word of God - We believe that the Bible is actually the words of God given to mankind through the writers of each book. We believe that this book is the standard by which we should live and govern our lives. We believe that the Holy Spirit gave these words to men who wrote them down and eventually they were divinely brought together in what we now call the Bible.

The Virgin Birth - We believe that Jesus Christ was conceived in the womb of Mary by the miracle of God. The Bible teaches us that Mary was a virgin when she conceived and was a virgin when she gave birth. This miracle presents Christ to us as the perfect Son of God.

The Unconditional Love of God - We believe that God loved the world so much that He sent His only Son, Jesus Christ, to open the door to God and show mankind the way to eternal life. We believe that God wants to have a relationship with us. His love for us is demonstrated by sending His Son to die for our sins.

The Power of Sin - We believe in the power of sin - the acts and thoughts that are displeasing to God - and we believe in the eternal consequences of unforgiven sin in our lives. We teach that mankind is trapped by sin and only Jesus can set us free.

The Forgiveness of Sin - We believe that the blood of Jesus on the cross of Calvary is the covering for our sins in the sight of God. We teach that when we ask Jesus to forgive us - He does - not on the basis of our good but on the fact that only He can forgive because only He died and rose again.

The Saving Power Through Jesus Christ - We believe that since Jesus died, rose again, and ascended back into Heaven, He is the only One who has the power to save souls. To save means to save us for Heaven and to save us from an eternity away from God in a place called Hell. This saving process is accomplished only by Jesus who now has the power over death, sin, and Satan - who we teach to be our spiritual enemy.

The Work of the Holy Spirit Today - We believe that when Jesus ascended into Heaven, He sent back to earth the spiritual presence of God through the Holy Spirit. We believe that the Holy Spirit is the One who comforts and guides the believers today. We teach that the Holy Spirit speaks to hearts and helps those who are seeking God to find Him. We teach that the Holy Spirit anoints believers with certain gifts and abilities by which others will be benefited and God will receive the glory and the praise.

The Return of Jesus Christ - We believe that the scriptures teach that someday Jesus will remove all believers from this earth and take them to Heaven with Him. We believe that this world will go through a terrible time of pain and sorrow and death. We also believe that after this time of sorrow on the earth is over, Jesus will return and establish the Kingdom of God here on the earth.

The Righteous Will Live By Faith - We believe that when a person has asked Jesus into their heart, they now choose to live a life that is Bible centered and pleasing to the Lord. We teach that the things of this world are temporary. We believe that there is a future home for us in Heaven and our faith directs us to believe this even though we have never seen Heaven with our own eyes. Faith is believing in something that you have not or cannot see.
