What We Believe We believe God eternally exists as one God in three persons; The Father - The Son - The Holy Spirit. And, each person of the Trinity is fully and completely God, sharing all the divine attributes in harmony and community. In addition, we believe that God created, in His perfect image, all human beings to live a joyful and fulfilling life. But because of sinful rebellion, all people are separated from God, and are not able to have a relationship with Him, based on their own works or philosophies. Matt.29:19 //John 1:14 // Rev 1:4-6 // Gen 1:26-31 // Romans 3:10-18 We believe that Jesus Christ is God's perfect provision - to reveal Himself to all people. Jesus: is fully God, if fully man, chose to come to earth, lived a sinless life, died on a cross as the substitute for all sin, was resurrected from the grave, was/is victorious over death and sin. Matt.1:18-2:12 // Rom 3:21-26 //Hebrews 1:1-13 // 1 Peter 3:18 In addition, we believe that all who trust I the work and provision of Jesus Christ alone as their personal Lord and Savior receive forgiveness of sin and the free gift of life eternal. John 3:16 // Rom. 8:28-39 //John 5:11-13 We believe that the Holy Spirit permanently indwells and fills every believer at the moment of salvation. He guides, inspires, and reveals God's will, and way to all believers as they continue in the work and ministry of Jesus Christ John 14:15-26 // John 16:5-15 //Acts 2:1-22 We believe the Bible to be: fully inspired by God, completely true, and thoroughly authoritative in lives of all believers in their daily faith, living, and practice. John 17:17 // 2 Tim. 3:16 //2 Peter 1:20-21
