The Bible
The Holy Bible is true, authoritative, and sufficient for guiding humanity, the Church, and the world toward eternal good. It reveals God and instructs us in loving, worshiping, and serving Him. 2 Timothy 3:16-17
God
There is one true God, the Creator, existing eternally in three distinct persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This reality is known as the Trinity. Matthew 28:19
Creation and Sin
Everything exists for God's glory, and humans were created for a relationship with Him. However, through Adam's sin, all humanity inherited a sinful nature that separates us from a holy God. Genesis 1:27, Romans 5:12
The Consequence of Sin
Sin separates us from God's perfect presence, leading to physical and spiritual death, which affects every aspect of humanity. Isaiah 59:2, Romans 6:23
Salvation Through Christ
God sent His Son, Jesus, to rescue humanity. Born of a virgin, Jesus lived a sinless life, died on the cross, and rose again to offer salvation to all who trust in Him. John 3:16, 1 Corinthians 15:3-4
Resurrection
and Return
Jesus rose from the dead, ascended to heaven, and will return to judge the world. There will be a physical resurrection of the dead, leading to eternal reward or punishment based on one’s response to Christ. Acts 1:9-11
Faith and
Repentance
Reconciliation with God and eternal life are found only through faith in Jesus Christ, which leads to true repentance from sin. Ephesians 2:8-9
God’s Love
and Call
God loves everyone and desires a relationship with us. Salvation is available to all who seek forgiveness and new life in Christ. 2 Peter 3:9
Baptism
Baptism is a public profession of faith in Jesus Christ, symbolizing a believer’s spiritual death, burial, and resurrection in Christ, practiced by immersion as an act of obedience following salvation. Romans 6:4
Communion
We practice open communion, inviting all believers in Jesus Christ to partake in this sacred act, regardless of church membership. Communion is reserved for those who have surrendered their lives to Christ, repented of their sins, and placed their faith in Him. Luke 22:19-20
