We
believe in one God who has expressed himself
in personal ways. We know God’s personality
as Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
We
believe the Bible communicates God’s
saving message and is our reliable authority
in all matters related to faith and Christian
living.
We
believe that all humankind struggles with a
downward pull.
We
believe that unless we experience God’s
help and salvation through a faith commitment
to Jesus Christ, our future is one of eternal
separation from God and all that is good.
We
believe the love and grace of God is extended
to every person in the provision Jesus Christ
made in his death and resurrection. By turning
from our own selfishness and trusting Jesus
Christ, we experience a new life, being freed
from the old patterns of self–destructive
acts called sin.
We
believe our new life in Jesus Christ is the
gateway to transformation. Following our moment
of faith in Jesus, we believe there is another
moment in which we present our life completely
to Christ in order to live under his authority
and to experience his transforming power.
We
believe that Christian experience is more than
a change of mind. It is accompanied by assurance
that is grounded in both the Scriptures as
well as the inner witness of God’s Spirit.
We
believe that all who live for Jesus Christ
have an eternal future. Our belief in such
a future includes both the fulfillment of God's
creative purpose as well as the accountability
of all persons endowed with the power of choice
