WHAT WE BELIEVE
About God
God is the creator and ruler of the universe. He has eternally existed in three persons – the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal and are one God. Genesis 1:1, 26, 27; 3:22; Psalm 90:2; Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14
About Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He is co-equal with the Father. Jesus lived a sinless life and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of everyone by dying on a cross. He arose from the dead after three days to demonstrate His power over sin and death. He ascended to heaven’s glory and will return again to earth to reign as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Matthew 1:22-23; Isaiah 9:6; John 1:1-5; 14:10-30; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4; Acts 1:9-11
About The Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is equal with the Father and the Son as God. He convicts people’s hearts of God’s truth concerning – how sinful we are and needing of God’s forgiveness and then teaches us how righteous Jesus is as He died in our place, for our sins. The Spirit then tugs on our hearts and minds, asking us to repent and turn to God for forgiveness and a new life. The Holy Spirit is given to live inside those who believe in Jesus, in order to produce God’s character in the life of a believer. In a way that we cannot do on our own, the Holy Spirit will build into our lives love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.
