our beliefs
The bible is Inspired by God and declares His design and redemption plan for humanity. It was written by people under the inspiration and guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is His perfect will and thus is without error.
Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He is completely God and completely man. He lived a sinless life and gave His life as a sacrifice for the sins of humanity. Three days after His death He rose from death and ascended to Heaven. He will return again to restore the world and reign as King.
Man chose to be away from God. Though created in His image and perfect, man decided to follow his own will. This will led to separation from God and essentially to death.
Only Jesus can save us. God offers salvation to everyone but we must accept it. No one can be saved through good works or achievements. Only through faith in Christ can God's offer of forgiveness for one be redeemed.
The Holy Spirit empowers you. The Holy Spirit is coequal to God and Jesus. He provides the Christian with power for living, serving, witnessing, pleasing God, understanding, spiritual truth, and guidance for every area of one's life. There is also baptism in the Holy Spirit which is a gift from God. The Holy Spirit infills a believer as experienced through speaking in tongues as seen on the Day of Pentecost.
