WHAT WE BELIEVE:
GOD
There is one God who eternally co-exists as three persons: the Father, the Son, And the Holy Spirit. He is infinite, all-knowing, all-powerful, all-present, and Never changing. He is characterized by Holiness, Justice, and Unconditional Love.
Genesis 1:1 / Isaiah 45:5 / Deuteronomy 6:4-5 / Matthew 3:16-17 / 1 Timothy 1:17 / Romans 1:20 / Psalm 139:2,4 / Daniel 4:34-35 / Psalm 139:7-10 / Malachi 3:6 / Psalm 99:5 / Psalm 9:8 / 1 John 4:9-10 / Micah 7:18
US
We were all perfectly created by God to experience life as his child, in intimate Relationship with him. Being made in his image we are to represent his love and Character to the rest of creation and each other. We broke our relationship with He by an attitude of independence from him and disobedience called “sin”. This
A sinful state separates us eternally from God and can only be remedied through a Personal commitment to Jesus Christ and placing our faith in what he Accomplished for us on the cross.
Genesis 1:26-27 / Psalm 8:3-6 / 1 John 3:1-2 / Isaiah 53:6 / Romans 3:23 / Psalm
51:3-5 / Isaiah 64:6 / Romans 3:10-12 / Proverbs 20:9 / John 1:12-13 / 1John 1:9
Romans 10:9 (NLT)
For if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart That God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
ETERNITY
We were created to exist forever. We will either exist eternally separated from God because of our sin (Judgement), or eternally in God’s presence as his child, Caring for a new perfected earth on his behalf (Heaven).
John 3:16 / 1 John 2:25 /1 John 5:11 /Romans 6:23 / Rev. 20:15 /John 5:24 /Revelation 20:11-15 / 2 Thessalonians 1:8-9
JESUS CHRIST
Jesus Christ is God who became man while remaining co-equal with the Father And Holy Spirit. He led a sinless life and offered himself on the cross in order to
Pay the consequence for our sin. On the third day, after his crucifixion, he
Conquered the effects of sin and death by rising to new life so that we might
Receive new life through him. After appearing to over five hundred people he Ascended back to heaven where he advocates on our behalf until he returns again As King of Kings to put an ultimate end to the matter of evil. Isaiah 9:6 / John 1:1-5, 14 / Philippians 2:6-8 / John 14:10-11 / Hebrews 4:15 / 1 Corinthians 15:3-6 / 1 Peter 3:18 / John 14:2-3 / Acts 1:9-11 / Titus 2:13
SALVATION
Salvation refers to the rescue from our sinful nature, the consequences of our sinful Actions, and our eternal separation from God. Salvation is a gift from God through
Jesus Christ and can never be earned by self-improvement or good works. Only Through a change of heart toward God, acknowledging that he died to pay the Penalty for our sin, and asking for his forgiveness may we receive this gift of a
New and eternal life. We teach that for salvation people need to 1) confess their sins to God and to 2) Confess Jesus as their Lord (Life Leader). The Bible then teaches that we are to Proclaim that step of faith through baptism.
Acts 26:20 / Romans 6:23 / Isaiah 59:2 / Ephesians 2:8-9 / Romans 3:20 / Titus 3:5 / John 14:6 / Acts 4:12 / John 1:12 / John 3:16 / Romans 5:1 / 1 John 1:9 / Romans 10:9 / Acts 2:38
THE HOLY SPIRIT
The Holy Spirit is equal with the Father and Jesus, the Son. He is present in the World to make people aware of their need for Jesus Christ and his forgiveness. He Resides in every believer from the moment of salvation, providing them with the Ability to live a godly life, understand spiritual truths, guidance through life, and Giving them special spiritual abilities for the strengthening of God’s family. Followers of Jesus seek to live under the Holy Spirit’s leadership daily.
2 Corinthians 3:17 / John 16:7-8 / John 14:16-17 / Acts 1:8 / Ephesians 1:13 / Romans 8:9 / 1 Corinthians 12:4-7 / Galatians 5:25 / Ephesians 5:18
Marriage
We believe that marriage is the union of a man and a woman who have agreed on their own free will. A lso, the marriage will be celebrated and permission will be given for them to live as husband and wife and the woman’s parents. T hat comes from the woman’s family in particular agreeing and giving their blessings to their children. We do not believe in same-sex marriage, polygamy.
Genesis 1:27 , 5:8. Math 19:4
We in discipleship live according to what the Scriptures show us. Marriage is not a spiritual act but a physical act that is, marriage has been brought to bring comfort to married people. A bad marriage can ruin the lives of both parties. S piritual life will be physical too.
