Statement of Belief

Because the Bible is the Word of God, we believe the following.

• The Bible, both the Old and New Testaments, is inspired by God through His Holy Spirit, without error in the original writings, and is the complete revelation of His will for the salvation of men, and the divine and final authority for all Christian faith and life.
• God created the world in six days, as stated in the Bible.
• Because God created humans in His Image, He has an unconditional love for all people, even those who do not know Him or have rejected Him.
• Since sin entered the world through the original sin of disobedience of Adam and Eve, all people are born sinners and are unable to have a relationship with God, our loving Heavenly Father, and deserve death.
• Because God so loved all humans, He sent Jesus Christ, His One and Only Son, born of the Virgin Mary, to die on the cross to pay the price for our sins.
• After Jesus died on the cross, He was resurrected after three days, giving everyone the hope of eternal life if they repent of their sins and believe in Him.
• We, as believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, are to obey His commandments, avoiding sins such as lying, stealing, murder, worshiping idols, adultery, and so on because they interrupt the love relationship that God desires with us.
• Jesus Christ is the only way to salvation and eternal life.
