The essentials we believe.
About the Bible
The Bible is God's inerrant Word to us. It is authoritative, provides clarity, necessary for life, and sufficient for salvation. To disbelieve or disobey Scripture is to disbelieve or disobey God.
Psalm 19:7-10, 2 Timothy 3:15-17, 2 Peter 1:19-21, Proverbs 30:5
About God and His Triune Nature
​God is the only true God. He is one and exists in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. This is known as the Trinity.
Deuteronomy 6:4, Matthew 3:16-17, 28:19, John 16:7-15, Hebrews 1:2-3
About Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ exists as fully man and fully God. He offered Himself sacrifice for the sins of all people by dying on a cross. He rose from the dead, ascended to heaven to act as mediator for us to God, and will physically return to reign as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
Isaiah 9:6, John 1:1-30, Hebrews 4:14,15, 1 Corinthians 15:3-4, Acts 1:9-11, 1 Timothy 6:14-15
About the Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is co-equal with God the Father and God the Son. He is present to make people aware of their need for Jesus Christ. He gives life and power for service and unifies all believers.
John 16:7-17, Acts 1:8, 1 Corinthians 2:12, 3:16, Ephesians 1:13, Galatians 5:25
About Mankind
People are made in the spiritual image of God to be like Him in character. He created mankind as male and female with equality in personhood and importance yet with differences in roles.
Genesis 1:26-27, 2:18, Isaiah 43:7, Galatians 3:28, 1 Timothy 2:11-15
About Our Salvation
All of humanity is born into sin separated from God. God has provided a way to begin a relationship with himself through belief in His Son Jesus Christ. We can only be saved by accepting the grace of God extended to us by trusting in Jesus Christ as God's offering for sin.
Romans 3:21-24, 5:1, 6:23, Ephesians 2:9, John 14:6, Titus 3:5, Galatians 3:26, Acts 2:22-29
About Eternity
People were created to exist forever. Upon our death, we will be judged. That judgement dictates if we will exist eternally separated from God in a place called Hell or eternally with God through salvation by submission to Jesus Christ in a place called Heaven.
John 3:16, Luke 16:19-31, Romans 2:6-8, 6:23, Revelation 20:15, Matthew 25:31-46
