Stuff We Believe

About God

We believe God is the Creator and Ruler of the Universe, and the Bible is the only trustworthy source for understanding Him. Scripture teaches that God created everything we can see, and even everything we can’t see. It’s hard to comprehend, but the Bible teaches that He is one yet has existed since the beginning of time as three distinct and equal persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

About Jesus

Jesus is God’s Son and an equal of the Father, existing from the beginning of time. Jesus lived his earthly life, being both completely God and completely human. After living a perfect, sinless life, Jesus offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for every human, ever. After three days in the grave, he defeated sin and death by rising from the grave. He then ascended to Heaven and will return to earth one day to reign as King.

About the Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit is a full and equal member of the Trinity. He works in the world to make all people understand their need for Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit lives inside every follower of Jesus from the moment they decide to follow Him. The Spirit provides power for life, ministry and spiritual growth. To experience that power, we must continually surrender to Him.

About Man

‍‍‍Man is the centerpiece of God’s creation, being the only creation God made in His own spiritual image, with the moral ability to choose right from wrong. Every person, although created in the image of God, inherited a disobedient heart from Adam, the very first man. This attitude of disobedience (called sin in the Bible) – unless rectified through Christ – forever keeps man from forming a relationship with his Creator. This attitude also keeps us from being the kind of person God created us to be.

About Salvation

Salvation is a gift from God. Our disobedient nature has separated us from our Creator. No matter how hard we try, we can never earn our way back into God’s presence. Our only hope is to turn from our self-ruled life and trust Jesus to forgive us and change us. Whenever you make that decision, you step into the eternal and abundant life Jesus promises for all who follow Him.

About Eternity

What you decide about Jesus Christ in this life will determine where you will spend eternity. God made you to exist forever, and He sent Jesus to pay the price for our sins. If you accept and follow Him, you’ll spend eternity with God.

About the Bible

The Holy Spirit inspired human authors to write the books of the Bible. The Bible is God's revelation of Himself to man. It is completely true and without error. It is God’s love letter to all humanity, and is the final authority and ultimate standard for life. We can trust it for all matters in this life and the life to come.
