What We Believe... The Bible has been given by the inspiration of God and is therefore without error. There is but one God, infinite, eternal, almighty and perfect. In the unity of the Godhead there are three distinct Persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Man was created in the image of God for fellowship with Him. However, through the original sin, mankind has fallen from God. Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man. He was supernaturally conceived by the Holy Spirit in the womb of the virgin Mary. He lived a perfect life and died on the cross as the substitutionary sacrifice for the sins of man. He rose from the dead, ascended into heaven, and will return in glory. Salvation is a gift from God, provided solely by His grace through faith in Jesus Christ. There is no other name except Jesus Christ by which man can be saved. The church is now the body of Christ, and will be the bride of Christ in the future. It is dedicated to the worship and service of God, the observance of Baptism and the Lord’s Supper, the practice of good works, and the preaching of the Good News of salvation in Christ to all nations. Satan was originally a perfect being, but he rebelled against God to become His adversary. He has been defeated at the cross and awaits his ultimate doom at the Second Coming of Christ. Jesus Christ will return to earth visibly, personally and gloriously. He will resurrect the dead, judge the just and the unjust, and fulfill His kingdom in the new heaven and new earth. All men outside of Christ are separated eternally from the presence of God, enduring eternal punishment. All who have been saved and redeemed by Christ will be in the presence of God forever. |
