Our Essential Christian Beliefs

01 The Inspiration of the Scriptures

The 66 books of the Bible are verbally inspired of God, and are the revelation of God to man. The original documents of the scriptures are inerrant, infallible, and the authoritative rule of faith and conduct.

All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
2 Timothy 3:15-17

02 There is One True God

The one true God has revealed himself as the eternally self-existent “I AM”, the Creator and the Redeemer of mankind. He has further revealed himself as embodying the principles of his relationship and association as FATHER, SON, and HOLY SPIRIT. They are in unity of One Being (the Trinity) of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The Father is God. The Son is God. The Holy Spirit is God. They are One God. – Deuteronomy 6:4, Isaiah 43:10-11, Matthew 3:16-17, 1 Thessalonians 2:13

03 Man’s Need for Salvation

Man was created by God and in His image. By a voluntary transgression, man fell and incurred physical death and spiritual death, which is separation from God. – Genesis 1:26, 27; 2:17; 3:6; Romans 3:11-20

04 Salvation is found in Jesus Christ

Jesus came to restore man’s broken relationship with God. His substitutionary, atoning death for our sins, along with His resurrection from the dead brings reconciliation between God and man. Salvation is by grace through faith, and cannot be earned. – Romans 5:12-19, 6:23; John 3:16; Ephesians 2:1-9

05 The Holy Spirit

The only way we can be guided, taught, and effectively carry out our mission is through the involvement of the Holy Spirit in our lives. This requires an ongoing submission to His directives in every facet of our lives.

…but be filled with the Spirit.
Ephesians 5:15-21; John 15:16-18, 16:5-15; Galatians 5:25

06 The Church

The Church is the body of Christ which exists to glorify God, to build believers that are being perfected in the image of Christ; and to spread the gospel throughout the world. – Ephesians 2:11-36, 4:11-16; Matthew 28:19-20; Acts 1:8, 2:42

07 The Soon Return of Jesus

The second coming of Christ includes the rapture of the saints, followed by the visible return of Christ with His saints to reign on the earth for a thousand years. –

Behold I am coming soon.
Revelation 22:7; Matthew 24:27, 30; 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17; Revelation 1:7, 19:11-14, 20:1-6

08 The Final Judgment

Christ will judge the unsaved dead after His thousand year reign, when they will be committed to eternal punishment in the lake of fire. – Revelation 20:1-15
