Our Beliefs
Doctrinal Statement
The Bible is the Word of God. It's a revelation from God, concerning Himself, His being, nature, character, will and purposes; and concerning man, his nature, need, duty and destiny. The Scriptures are without error in their moral and spiritual teaching and record of historical facts. They are also without error in their articulation of spiritual and physical principles and historical data.
​
There is one God, eternally existing and manifesting Himself to us in three Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit(Trinity/God-head). All members of the God-head are equally omnipotent (all powerful), omniscient (all knowing), and omnibenevolent (all loving). God is sovereign over all things.
​
Trinity The term “Trinity” is not explicitly found in the Bible but can be deduced from within its pages. Scripture teaches that God is one, and, simultaneously, three distinct persons. This triune concept is a mystery, but it is not contradictory. A useful, but not perfect, illustration of the trinitarian concept is water, which exists as a solid, liquid and gas, but its chemical composition is always H20. This is not a perfect analogy, but it helps to explain the ontology of God as Trinity.
God the Father is the first person/member of the Trinity, and it is He who spoke the material world into existence ex nihilo. God the Father is best understood In Scripture by His many titles, some of which are:
Yahweh, Elohim, Jehovah, Abba.
Ultimately, these names refer to the God-head.
Our Lord Jesus was supernaturally conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of a virgin - Mary. Jesus lived, taught, and did miraculous works. While Jesus became in every respect a real man, he maintained His divinity. He was fully God and fully man. He was put to death by crucifixion. But God raised Him from the dead. After His resurrection, he demonstrated that he’s alive, by appearing to His disciples and others over a 40-days period, then ascended into heaven. Jesus promise to return to earth to set all wrongs right.
​
The Holy Spirit is a person and possesses all the distinctively divine attributes. He is God. It is God the Holy Spirit that dwells in the minds and hearts of all believers changing us into the image of Jesus, teaching to obey the Lord and comforting us in times of suffering.
Anthropology: Man was created in the perfect image of God (the Imago Dei). But the whole human race became imperfect after the first Adam (man) rebelled against God and are in need of the Savior.
​
The Church is the invisible universal body of believers and not a specific denomination. The Church consists of all those who believe in the triune God (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit). The Church has been and will always be imperfect. But Jesus promises perfection when he returns to earth to receive his Church to live with him for eternity.
​
There is a devil (Satan), a being of great cunning and power; "The prince of this world and god of this age." But he will ultimately be destroyed when the Lord Jesus returns to earth.
