Beliefs and Values
The Bible
We believe the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments to be the inspired Word of God.
II Tim. 3:16-17; II Peter 1:20-21
God
We believe in one Triune God, eternally existing in three persons -- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, each co-eternal in being, co-identical in nature, co-equal in power and glory, and perfect.
Deut. 6:4; Matt. 28:19; II Cor. 13:14; John 14:10, 26
Jesus Christ
He is the eternal Son of God, was 100% God, born of a Virgin, & sinless
Isa. 7:14; 9:6; Luke 1:35; John 1:1-2, 14; II Cor. 5:19-21; Gal. 4:4-5; Phil. 2:5-8
His actions paved the way for us to have a relationship with God
Acts 2:18-36; Rom. 3:24-25; I Peter 2:24; Eph. 1:7; I Peter 1:3-5
Holy Spirit
He reveals to a person their need for a Relationship with God & secures all believers eternally.
John 16:8-11; Rom. 8:9; I Cor. 12:12-14; II Cor. 3:6; Eph. 1:13-14
He teaches & assists believers when dealing with Scriptures
Eph. 1:17-18; 5:18; I John 2:20, 27
He gifts specific individuals with Gifts & Talents, evangelists, pastors, and teachers to equip believers in the assembly in order that they can do the work of the ministry
He gave specific gifts in the past that served the church temporarily.
I Cor. 1:22; 13:8; 14:21-22
Man
Created in the image of God, but due to sin, became alienated from God. On our own we cannot access God through religious experiences or rites.
Gen. 1:26-27;
Salvation
A person can only have a relationship with God through Jesus Christ. The good things we do for others doesn’t get us into heaven.
Rom. 3:24; 6:23; John 3:16; 14:6; Eph. 1:7; 2:8-9; Titus 3:5
There are only 2 ingredients for a person to start a relationship with God. Faith in Jesus Christ & repentence.
Acts 21:21; Luke 13:3; II Peter 3:9; Romans 5:1; John 3:3,36; I Cor. 6:19-20; Eph. 4:30

Heaven & Hell
Both are literal places & each person has the choice of where they choose to spend eternity.
Matt. 25:46; John 5:28, 29; 11:25-26; Rev. 20:5-6, 12-13
