We believe
God is the creator of the heavens and earth. We believe
that he came to earth in human form as Jesus, the son of
God, born of the Virgin Mary, and died on Calvary's cross,
in obedience to God's will, to save us from our sin. Through
His resurrection and ascension into heaven, He conquered
death and is calling all people into relationship with God.
He offers us forgiveness from sin and the free gift of eternal
life, and He intercedes with the Father for all who believe.
We further believe that He will return to earth one day
to gather His people. We believe His Holy Spirit permanently
dwells in every believer. God is all-powerful, all-knowing,
and present everywhere.
We believe
that the Bible, consisting of the sixty-six books of the
Old Testament and the New Testament, is the infallible,
inspired Word of God.
Finally,
we believe that God has endowed all believers with spiritual
gifts that enable the ministry of the church and that God
calls each Christian to some specific task of service. It
is our obligation to Him to discover and pursue our individual
ministries. This belief is why came into being.
