The following is the Core of our beliefs, based on the Bible.

  • All Scripture is verbally inspired by God, as originally written, and therefore infallible and inerrant (2 Timothy 3:16-17, 2 Peter 1:21, Matthew 5:18, 1 Corinthians 2:13). The Bible IS the Word of God. We CANNOT accept the misleading statement: "The Bible contains the Word of God."
  • There is one living and true God who exists in three Persons - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19, 2 Corinthians 13:14). The Father is God (1 Corinthians 8:6); the Son is God (Isaiah 9:6; John 1:1, 14; Hebrews 1:8-10); and the Holy Spirit is God (Acts 5:3-4).
  • The Lord Jesus Christ was born of a virgin (Isaiah 7:14, Matthew 1:18-25, Luke 1:26-38).
  • Christ rose from the dead and ascended unto God the Father (Matthew 28, Mark 16, 1Corinthians 15, Romans 1:4).
  • Christ will return:
    a. First, for the "dead in Christ" who will be resurrected, and for those who are alive at His coming. This resurrection not only precedes His return to earth to reign 1,000 years, but also precedes the Tribulation (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, 5:9).
    b. Then, to reign 1,000 years on the earth (Revelation 20:1-6, 2 Timothy 2:12).
  • God has provided salvation through offering His Son on the cross at Calvary, and allowing His blood to be shed to atone for our sins (Romans 3:25, Hebrews 9:22).
  • We are saved and justified when we recognize ourselves as sinners, and put our trust in Christ as the Son of God and our personal Lord and Savior as he paid the penalty for our sin with His finished work on the cross of Calvary. Salvation is by grace through faith ALONE, it is the gift of God (Romans 3:24, 4:5; Ephesians 2:8-9).
  • Once saved, we cannot be lost; we are eternally secure in Christ (John 3:16,10:27-29; Philippians 1:6; Romans 8:38-39).
