WHAT WE BELIEVE

The Bible is the inspired Word of God; the product of the holy men of old who spoke and wrote as they were moved by the Holy Spirit. The New Covenant, as recorded in the New Testament, is what we accept as our infallible guide in matters pertaining to conduct and doctrine (1 Thes. 2:13, 2 Tim. 3:16, 2 Pet. 1:21).

Our God is one but is manifested in three persons – the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, being co-equal (1 John 5:7). God the Father is the source of the Word. The Holy Spirit proceeds forth from both the Father and the Son and is eternal (John 15:26).

Man is a created being, made in the likeness and the image of God, but through Adam’s transgression and fall, sin came into the world. “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.” (Rom. 3:23). “As it is written, there is none righteous, no, not one” (Rom. 3:10). Jesus Christ, the Son of God, was manifested to undo the work of the devil and give His life and shed His blood to redeem and restore man back to God (1 John 3:4). Salvation is the gift of God to man, separate from works and the law, which is put into action through faith in Jesus Christ, producing works acceptable to God (Eph. 2:8).

Following faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, a new believer is commanded by the Word of God to be baptized in water in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19; Acts 2:38).
