WHAT WE BELIEVE
GOD:
We believe in God. He is, He was, and He always will be. He created the Heavens and the Earth, and everything in them. He is known as Father, came as the Son, and lives in believers as the Holy Spirit. (Genesis 1:1, Matthew 3:16-17, John 1:1-2, Acts 2:32-33)
JESUS:
Jesus, God the Son, came to Earth and was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died for our sins, and rose from the dead. He's still alive and changing lives today! (Colossians 2:9, Luke 1:30-35, 1 Corinthians 15:3-8, 2 Corinthians 5:21)
HOLY SPIRIT:
The Holy Spirit is a comforter and a guide for every born-again believer. He actually lives inside us, His temple, and does more for us than we can imagine. (John 16:8, Acts 2:38, Ephesians 1:13-14)
BIBLE:
The Bible is the book God wrote for us. It is true, it is accurate, it is authentic, and it is absolutely applicable to our lives today. Get it, read it, live it! (2 Timothy 3:16-17)
PEOPLE:
We're not perfect. We have sinned, all of us. We need help. We need Him. We need each other, and that's what Church is all about. (Genesis 1:27, Romans 3:23, Romans 6:23, Acts 4:12)
SALVATION:
It is a free gift. It is by God's grace, not your good deeds. Jesus' death allows your sins, all of them, to be forgiven. Wiped out, cancelled, deleted, erased. Do you get the picture? Salvation is free, all you have to do is accept it. (John 3:16, Ephesians 2:8-9, Colossians 2:6, Acts 2:38)
OUR RESPONSE:
If we believe in Jesus and we want to receive that gift He's offering, He calls us to repent (change our mind about who's in charge of our life) and be baptized (dunked in water). When we make Him Lord, we enter into a new life and we follow Jesus all the way to Heaven. (Romans 10:9, Acts 2:38, Mark 16:16, Acts 8:36-38, Galatians 3:26-27)
HEAVEN AND HELL:
They're real. That's why we are doing everything we can to share the good news about Jesus. God doesn't want anybody to choose Hell, but He wants everybody with Him in Heaven. That's why we do what we do. (Acts 1:10-11, John 5:28-29, Daniel 12:2, 2 Corinthians 4:14)
