What We Believe

We build our lives on Jesus Christ. We believe Jesus Christ is the only, perfect, son of God. We believe that Jesus died for us and for every person in the world. And we believe that Jesus rose from the dead and lives for us-and for all people who believe in him as their Savior.

          Jesus brings people close to God. We believe our lives-today, tomorrow and in eternity-depend on Jesus.

          We live with a sure hope of eternal life because of Jesus Christ. We know we're not perfect, that we stumble and fall in our daily walk with God. But we also know that our forgiveness has been won and paid for by Jesus Christ and when we repent and seek forgiveness, God will forgive us because of Jesus.

          And, we want to tell others about that hope!

          We hold beliefs that are shared by many Christians:

 

• God is three persons in one: the Father, who created and sustains the world; the Son, who lived as a human being, died, and rose from the dead; and the Holy Spirit who works God's will in the world.
• The Bible is God's word, spoken through human writers.
• Sin exists in every person. It is the cause of the bad things people do to each other.
• Everyone will have existence after death-either in heaven or hell-forever.
• God has a plan to end the world, when he will judge everyone-both living and dead.
