WHAT WE BELIEVE

God is the Creator and ultimate authority over the universe, bringing everything into existence with intention and purpose. Throughout time, He has been revealed in three distinct expressions—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—each fully and equally embodying His divine nature. Though these three are unique in their roles, they are not separate but united as one God, working together in perfect harmony.

For more context, see:
Genesis 1:1, 1:26-27 and 3:22, Psalm 90:2, Matthew 28:19,  1 Peter 1:2, 2 Corinthians 13:14

Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Jesus lived a sinless human life and died on the cross for the sins of all. He arose from the dead after three days to demonstrate His power over sin and death. He ascended into Heaven's glory and will return again to earth to reign as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

For more context, see:
Matthew 1:22-23, Isaiah 9:6, John 1:1-5 and 14:10-30,Hebrews 4:14-15, 1 Corinthians 15;3-4, Romans 1:3-4,  Acts 1:9-11

The Scriptures are divinely inspired, revealing God’s design and purpose for humanity. Though written by human hands, they were guided by the Holy Spirit, ensuring that every word carries His wisdom and truth. As the ultimate authority for Christian faith and life, the Bible provides a foundation that is unwavering and free from error, reflecting the very nature of God Himself.

For more context, see:
2 Timothy 3:16-17, 2 peter 1:20-21, 2 Timothy 1:13, Psalm 119:105,160 and 12:6, Proverbs 30:5

People are created in the spiritual image of God, designed to reflect His character and goodness. As the pinnacle of His creation, humanity was made for a deep and meaningful relationship with Him. However, despite our potential for goodness, we are all impacted by a nature of disobedience—what the Bible calls "sin"—which creates a divide between us and God. This separation is not just about actions but a condition of the heart that distances us from the fullness of life He intended for us.

For more context, see: Genesis 1:27, Psalm 8:3-6, Isaiah 53:6a, Romans 3:23, Isaiah 59:1-2

Salvation is a gift from God, freely given out of His love and grace. No amount of personal effort, self-improvement, or good deeds can erase the separation caused by sin. It is only through trusting in Jesus Christ—accepting God’s offer of forgiveness—that we can be saved from sin’s consequences. The moment someone places their faith in Jesus, they receive eternal life, stepping into a restored relationship with God that begins immediately and lasts forever.

For more context, see: Romans 6:23, Ephesians 2:8-9, John 14:6 and 1:12, Titus 3:5, Galatians 3:26, Romans 5:1

We were created with eternity in mind—our existence does not end when this life does. Every person will spend eternity in one of two realities: either separated from God by sin or united with Him through His grace and salvation. Eternal life means living in His presence, experiencing the fullness of His love and purpose. Heaven and hell are not just concepts but real places of everlasting existence, reflecting the outcome of our choice to accept or reject God’s offer of redemption.

For more context, see: John 3:16, 1 John 2:25 and 5:11-13, Romans 6:23, Revelation 20:15

The Holy Spirit is part of the Trinity, fully God, and actively present in the lives of believers. From the moment of salvation, the Holy Spirit dwells within every Christian, guiding, strengthening, and transforming them. Beyond this, there is a distinct experience known as the baptism in the Holy Spirit, which empowers believers for bold witness and effective service—just as seen in the early Church. The initial outward sign of this baptism is speaking in tongues, mirroring the supernatural encounter of the disciples on the Day of Pentecost.

For more context, see: Luke 24:49, Acts 1:4, Acts 1:8, 1 Corinthians 12:1-31, Acts 8;12-17, Acts 10:44-46, Acts 11:14-16

We practice two ordinances - (1) Water baptism by immersion after repenting of one's sins and receiving Christ's gift of salvation, and (2) Holy Communion (the Lord's Supper) as a symbolic remembrance of Christ's suffering and death for our salvation.

For more context, see: Matthew 28:19, Mark 16:16, Acts 10:47-48, Romans 6:4

Sanctification begins at the moment of salvation, marking a believer as holy in God’s eyes. However, it is also an ongoing, lifelong journey of spiritual growth. As believers seek God and align their lives with His truth, they are continually transformed—separating from sin and becoming more like Christ. This process isn’t about perfection but about progress, as God works within us to shape our character and deepen our relationship with Him.
