OUR BELIEFS/LEADERSHIP
JESUS CHRIST
Jesus Christ is at the center of everything. We believe that Jesus is the only one who can reconcile us to God. He lived a sinless and exemplary life, died on the cross in our place, and rose again to prove His victory and empower us for life. We believe that Jesus Christ is coming back again as He promised.
THE TRINITY
We believe in one eternal God who is the Creator of all things. He exists in three Persons: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. He is totally loving and completely holy.
THE BIBLE
We believe that the Bible is God’s Word. It is our sole source for our faith and practices. It is accurate, authoritative, and applicable to our everyday lives.
THE SEPARATION
We believe that sin has separated each of us from God and His purpose for our lives.
THE RECONCILIATION
We believe that in order to receive forgiveness and a fresh start with God, we must believe God's Word (the Bible), repent of our sins, confess Jesus as Lord and Savior, be baptized by immersion into Christ, and live the life God planned for us from the beginning.
THE CHURCH
We believe in the power and significance of the Church and the necessity of believers to meet weekly together. The Church is God's Kingdom here on earth.
