OUR FAITH NARRATIVE
Our faith is based on the writings of the Bible, which we believe is uniquely God-inspired, without error and the final authority on all matters to which it makes reference.
This Bible teaches us about the Eternal God who has revealed Himself as ONE God existing in THREE persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit; distinguishable but indivisible, known as the Trinity (Matthew 28:19; II Corinthians 13:14)
God created humans to know him and be in relationship with Him, but they willfully defied God by going their own way and seeking to be their own god. As a result, we are apart from him due to the nature of our sinful hearts and we need His grace to end our alienation from Him.
Our Heavenly Father established a salvation that comes only through His grace (unmerited favor), and not by human effort, and must be received personally by repenting of our sin and putting our faith in His forgiveness.
Jesus Christ, second Person of the Trinity, who was God and became man, lived a sinless life on earth and voluntarily paid for our sin by dying on the cross for us. This brings salvation for all who repent and receive grace by trusting in Jesus Christ. He came back from the dead and is the only mediator between us and God. He will return to Earth to conclude history.
After Jesus' ascension into Heaven, God sent us the Holy Spirit who draws sinners to have faith in Jesus. He also equips and empowers believers for personal growth, maturity and service, as well as to share the power of the Good News of the Gospel and what Christ has done for them empowering the believer’s own gifting, abilities, and personality. All that the Holy Spirit did in scriptures He still does today in demonstrating God's power to both believers and unbelievers.
The church is the gathering of the followers of Christ that come together in local communities for the purpose of knowing and honoring God, and serving those in need. At the conclusion of history, everyone will experience bodily resurrection and the judgment of all men. Those who have believed in the forgiveness provided through Christ's sacrifice will enjoy eternal relationship in the presence of God.
