We believe that God is the creator, ruler, and redeemer of mankind. The Bible teaches the concept of the “trinity” and that there is one sovereign God eternally existing in three persons – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Genesis 1:1, 26-27; 3:22; Psalm 90:2; Matthew 28:19; 1 Peter 1:2; 2 Corinthians 13:14
We believe the Bible is God’s sourcebook for faith and daily living. It is divinely inspired, error free in its original writings, and the true source for knowing God’s will. On all belief issues, we ask, “What does the Bible say?” 2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20-21; 2 Timothy 1:13; Psalm 119:105, 160, 12:6
We believe the Bible teaches that humans, created by God, willfully sin against God and are consequently lost and without hope apart from a restored relationship with God, such that salvation (including the forgiveness of sins) is achieved only by grace through the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ. Genesis 1:27; Psalm 8:3-6; Isaiah 53:6a; Romans 3:23; Isaiah 59:1-2
