What We Believe
Our faith is rooted in the unchanging, timeless truth of God's Word and centered on Jesus Christ.
The Scriptures
The Holy Bible serves as a divine revelation to humanity, crafted by inspired individuals. It stands as a flawless guide encompassing truth without error. By highlighting salvation, it shapes the principles through which divine judgment occurs. Remaining relevant until the end of time, it unites Christians around a shared foundation. Additionally, every Scripture is a testament to Jesus Christ, who embodies the essence of divine revelation, making it the ultimate standard for all beliefs and conduct.
Exodus 24:4; Deuteronomy 4:1-2; 17:19; Joshua 8:34; Psalms 19:7-10; 119:11, 89, 105, 140; Isaiah 34:16; 40:8; Jeremiah 15:16; 36:1-32; Matthew 5:17-18; 22:29; Luke 21:33; 24:44-46; John 5:39; 16:13-15; 17:17; Acts 2:16ff.; 17:11; Romans 15:4; 16:25-26; 2 Timothy 3:15-17; Hebrews 1:1-2; 4:12; 1 Peter 1:25; 2 Peter 1:19-21.
God
There is one and only one living and true God. He is an intelligent, spiritual, and personal Being, the Creator, Redeemer, Preserver, and Ruler of the universe. Infinite in holiness and perfection, He is all-knowing and powerful, deserving supreme love, reverence and obedience. Revealed as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, His nature remains unified yet distinct in attributes.
God as Father
God as Father exercises sovereign oversight over creation and human history, guided by His gracious intentions. He possesses unlimited power, knowledge, love, and wisdom. Through faith in Jesus Christ, individuals become His children, experiencing His paternal love. While His fatherly nature is evident to all, it is particularly realized by believers.
About Jesus
Christ, the eternal Son of God, incarnated as Jesus, demonstrating perfect obedience to divine law through His life. Conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of Mary, He fully embraced human nature while remaining sinless. Through His sacrificial death, He provided redemption for humanity, later resurrected and appearing to His disciples. Currently exalted in heaven, He serves as the Mediator, reconciling God and man, and He will return to fulfill His mission in glory.
Matthew 1:22, 23; Isaiah 9:6; John 1:1-5, 14:10-30; Hebrews 4:14, 15; 1 Corinthians 15:3, 4; Romans 1:3, 4; Acts 1:9-11; 1 Timothy 6:14, 15; Titus 2:13
About the Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit, fully divine and the Spirit of God, plays a vital role in the lives of believers. He inspires the Scriptures, illuminates truth, and convicts of sin and righteousness. Through His work, He brings people to Christ and regenerates them, ensuring they are united in the Body of Christ. He cultivates character, comforts, and empowers believers with spiritual gifts, sealing them as heirs until final redemption and guiding them in worship and service.
2 Corinthians 3:17; John 16:7-13, 14:16, 17; Acts 1:8; 1 Corinthians 2:12, 3:16; Ephesians 1:13; Galatians 5:25; Ephesians 5:1
About Mankind
Man is the special creation of God, made in His own image. He created them male and female as the crowning work of His creation. Initially innocent and endowed with free will, humans chose to disobey God, ushering sin into the world. This fallen state begets a nature predisposed to wrongdoing, subjecting individuals to condemnation. Yet, God's grace extends the promise of redemption, affirming the inherent dignity of every individual, regardless of their background, and deserving of respect and compassion.
About Salvation
Salvation involves the redemption of the whole man, and is offered freely to all who acknowledge Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, who by His own blood obtained eternal redemption for the believer. In its broadest sense salvation includes regeneration, justification, sanctification, and glorification. There is no salvation apart from personal faith in Jesus Christ as Lord.
