We believe in one eternal loving God who is
the Creator of all things, and He exists in three co-equal Persons: God the
Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. God is loving and completely
holy.
(1 John 5:7; John 1:1,14,18, 14:28, 16:28;
John 15:26; Deuteronomy 6:4; Isaiah 61:1, Matthew 3:16-17)
THE FATHER
We believe in God the Father, that He is a
Spirit, perfect in love, holiness, justice, and grace. We believe that He is
all-knowing and all-powerful. We believe that He cares for humanity deeply. He
hears and answers our prayers, and He offers salvation from sin and death
through Jesus Christ.
(Luke 10:21-22; Matthew 23:9; John 3:16,
6:27; Romans 1:7; 1 Timothy 1:1-2, 2:5-6; 1 Peter 1:3; Revelation 1:6)
JESUS CHRIST
We believe that Jesus Christ is the only
way to God. We believe that Jesus Christ is God's Son, conceived by
the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin, Mary. He lived a sinless life confirmed
with great miracles and teachings. He paid the price for our sins on the cross
and rose up from the grave.
(1 John 1:7; Revelation 1:5, 5:9; Colossians
1:20; Romans 3:10-12, 23; 5:9; John 1:29)
THE HOLY SPIRIT
The Holy Spirit is the third person of the
Trinity; co-equal with Jesus Christ and the Father in the Godhead. We believe
the Holy Spirit, who was sent by Jesus convicts the world of sin of
righteousness and of judgment. The Holy Spirit is the ever-present friend. He
abides in the believer and enables us to do the work of the Father. The
greatest work of the Holy Spirit is to reveal Jesus to us and to lead us into
all truth.
(John 14:16-17, 26; 15:26-27; John 16:9-14;
Romans 8:9; 1 Corinthians 3:16, 6:19; Galatians 5:22-26)
