Our Core Beliefs
God is Creator. He is omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent.
(Gen. 1:1; Psalms 19; Acts 2:22-24)
Jesus, the Son of God, was sent to earth, born of a virgin, lived, taught, built His church, gave His life on the cross as a perfect sacrifice, was buried, then raised on the third day, to save men from their sins. Jesus will return for His faithful children at a time known only by God the Father (Mt. 24:36) (I Thess. 5:1,2). Jesus commands us to believe (Jn. 8:24) that He is God’s son, to repent (Lk.13:3) of our sins, to confess (Rom 10:9,10) His name before men, and to be buried by baptism (Acts 2:38; Rom 6:3,4,5) into His death, and raised to live a new life.
The Holy Spirit of God was left here to indwell all who obey Jesus’ commands (Acts 2:38).
The Bible is the inspired Word of God, with the Old Testament, a history of God’s people, given by the Holy Spirit, to lead us to Christ (Rom. 15:4; Gal. 3:24), while the New Testament is our blueprint for Christian living and service. (Hebrews 9,10; Colossians 1:13-3:17; Ephesians 1-4).
Worship under the New Covenant (Testament) must be in spirit and in truth (Jn. 4:23,24). The Lord’s death, burial and resurrection should be celebrated in partaking of the Lord’s Supper each Lord’s Day (First day of the week) (Acts 20:7; Acts 2:42). Giving of our means to support preaching of the Gospel and taking care of the needy is also done every first day of the week (I Cor. 16:1,2). We praise God and Jesus Christ through prayer and a cappella singing (Eph. 5:19; Col. 3:16; I Cor. 14:15)
