God is the Creator and Ruler of the universe. He exists eternally in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. God is both holy and loving.

Jesus Christ is the unique Son of God, fully human and fully divine. He lived a sinless human life and died on the cross to atone for our sins, so we might be forgiven. He rose from the dead and ascended to heaven and will return again to earth.

The Holy Spirit is God present in the world here and now, working to make people aware of their need for Jesus Christ. When we receive Jesus as the leader of our lives and the forgiver of our sins, the Holy Spirit comes to live within us. He provides us with power for living, enables us to understand spiritual truth, and guides us in doing what pleases God. Every believer is empowered by the Spirit to engage in some form of ministry. As Christians we seek to live under His control daily.

The Bible is God’s word written by human authors under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is the final authority for determining our Christian beliefs and how we are to live.

People are made in the spiritual image of God — that is, we are rational and moral beings. Because of this, each person possesses great self-worth. Every person has tremendous potential for good, but all of us are marred by sin, that is, we do not love God above all else and we do not love others as we love ourselves. This attitude and its resultant actions separate us from God, others and ourselves.

Becoming right with God and having our relationship with God restored is what the Bible calls salvation. Salvation is God’s free gift to us. We can never earn it or achieve it by self-improvement or good works. We accept God’s gift of a new life when we turn from our self-ruled life and accept Jesus as our Savior. The new life that God gives us is an abundant life in this world and eternal life in the world to come.

Though we are not made right with God by our own goodness, “good works” are not optional for the Christian life. When we give our lives to Christ, it is expected that we, by the power and guidance of the Holy Spirit, will grow towards loving God with all our being and our neighbors as ourselves.

We believe in the power of prayer, both individually and corporately, as an expression of faith in God's work in our lives. Prayer is an essential part of a Christian life and is used to talk to God and to communicate with Him. We pray for guidance, strength, healing, protection, and for our families, friends, and community. Through prayer, we seek to deepen our understanding of God's will and His plans for our lives. Praying helps us grow closer to God and to gain a better understanding of His will and how we can best serve Him. When we pray, we open ourselves up to God and He will answer us in His own way and in His own time. Prayer is a beautiful and powerful way to communicate with our Heavenly Father and to seek His love and guidance.
