What we believe
In essential beliefs - we have unity.

one baptism, and one God and Father of us all..." Eph.4:4-6

one baptism, and one God and Father of us all..." Eph.4:4-6
In non-essential beliefs - we have liberty.
"Accept him whose faith is weak, without passing judgement on
disputable matters... Who are you to judge someone else's
servant? To his own master he stands or fails.. So then each
of us will give an account of himself to God... So whatever you
believe about these things keep between yourself and God."
Romans 14:1,4,12,22

THE ESSENTIALS WE BELIEVE:
1. ABOUT GOD
God is the Creator and Ruler of the universe. He has
eternally existed in three persons: the Father, the Son and
the Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal and are one God.
2. ABOUT THE GODHEAD
We believe in the Triune God, existing in three persons,
Father, Son and Holy Spirit, eternal in being, identical in
nature, equal in power and glory and having the same
attributes and perfections.
3. ABOUT JESUS CHRIST
Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He is co-equal with the
Father. Jesus lived a sinless human life and offered Himself
as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all people by dying on
a cross. He arose from the dead after three days to
demonstrate His power over sin and death. He ascended to
Heaven's glory and will return again someday to earth to
reign as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
4. ABOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT
The Holy Spirit is co-equal with the Father and the Son of
God. He is present in the world to make men aware of their
need for Jesus Christ. He also lives in every Christian from
the moment of salvation. He provides the Christian with
power for living, understanding of spiritual truth and
guidance in doing what is right. He gives every believer a
spiritual gift when they are saved. As Christians we seek to
live under His control daily.
5. ABOUT THE BIBLE
The Bible is God's Word to us. It was written by human
authors, under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit.
It is the supreme source of truth for Christian beliefs and
living. Because it is inspired by God, it is the truth without
any mixture of error.
6. ABOUT HUMAN BEINGS
People are made in the spiritual image of God, to be like Him
in character. People are the supreme object of God's
creation. Although every person has tremendous potential
for good, all of us are marred by an attitude of disobedience
toward God called "sin." This attitude separates people from
God and causes many problems in life.
7. ABOUT SALVATION
Salvation is God's free gift to us that we must accept. We
can never make up for sin by self-improvement or good
works. Only by trusting in Jesus Christ as God's offer of
forgiveness can anyone be saved from sin's penalty. When
we turn from our self-ruled life and turn to Jesus in faith are
we saved. Eternal life begins the moment one receives
Jesus Christ into his life by faith.
8. KEEPING YOUR SALVATION
Because God gives us eternal life through Jesus Christ, the
true believer is secure in that salvation for eternity. If you
have been genuinely saved, you cannot "lose" it. Salvation
is maintained by the grace and power of God, not by the self-
effort of the Christian. It is the grace and keeping power of
God that gives us this security.
9. ABOUT ETERNITY
People were created to exist forever. We will either exist
eternally separated from God by sin or eternally with God
through forgiveness and salvation. To be eternally
separated from God is Hell. To be eternally in union with
Him is eternal life. Heaven and Hell are real places of eternal
existence.
