OUR BELIEFS
​
THE BIBLE​
The Bible is our all-sufficient rule of faith and conduct. As the inspired Word of God, the Bible is our rule of faith and life. The Scriptures, both the Old and the New Testament, contain the verbally inspired, and authoritative Word of God.
Deuteronomy 4:1-2, Psalms 119:11, Isaiah 40:8, Matthew 22:29, Romans 15:4, 2 Timothy 3:16, Hebrews 1:1-2, 4:12, 1 Peter 1:25, 2 Peter 1:25
​
THE HOLY TRINITY
God has chosen to reveal himself as the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and these three are one God: the same in substance, equal in power and glory. God is a Trinity in unity.
Deuteronomy 6:4, Isaiah 43:10, 11, Matthew 28:19, Mark 1:9-11, Luke 3:22, John 5:21-23, 14:10, Romans 8:9-11, 1 Corinthians 8:6, 2 Corinthians 13:14, Hebrews 1:8-10, James 2:19
​
GOD AS CREATOR​
Out of nothing, God made the things that are the universe, the elements, plant life, animal life (to reproduce each after its kind) and finally, man in the image of God.
Genesis 1:1-27, Nehemiah 9:6, Psalms 33:6,9, John 1:3, Hebrews 11:3
​
THE DEITY OF JESUS
The Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is 100% God and 100% man. Born of a virgin, He lived a sinless life, so that He could be a substitution for us in satisfying God's demand for perfection. He rose bodily from the dead and sits at the right hand of the Father. He will visibly return again.
Matthew 1:23, 28:6, Luke 1:31, 35, 24:39, John 1:1-3, Acts 1:10, 2:22, 10:38, 1 Corinthians 15:3-4, 2 Corinthians 5:21, Philippians 2:9-11, Colossians 1:16, Hebrews 1:3, 10, 7:26, 1 Peter 2:22
​
MAN​
When Adam and Eve fell from their original righteousness and communion with God they became dead in sin. From this original sin our natures became sinful. Because of the sinfulness of man, sinful man is inclined to serve his own will instead of God. As a result, man cannot attain a right relationship with God through his own effort.
Genesis 1:26-30, 2:7, 18-22; 3, Psalms 8:3-6, 32:1-5, 36:1, 51:5, Isaiah 6:5, Jeremiah 17:9, Acts 17:26-31, Romans 1:19-32, 3:10-18, 5:6, 6:6, 7:14-25, 1 Corinthians 1:21-31, 15:19, 21-22, Colossians 1:21-22, 3:9-11
​
SALVATION​
The Bible teaches that God has provided salvation for man in the person and work (life, ministry, vicarious death, and resurrection) of his son Jesus Christ. Repentance toward God and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ are conditions of what is necessary for salvation. Salvation is a gift from God, and it cannot be earned through our own efforts.
Isaiah 1:18, 53:5-6, 55:7, Mark 1:15, 3:19, 16:31, Matthew 1:21, 27:22-66, 28:1-6, Luke 1:68-69, 2:28-32, John 1:12, 3:16, 36, 5:24, Acts 2:21, 4:12, 16:30-31, Romans 1:16-18, 3:23-25, 5:8-10, 1 Corinthians 1:18, 2 Corinthians 5:17-20, Galatians 2:20, 3:13, Ephesians 2:8-10, Philippians 2:12-13, Hebrews 9:24-28, Revelation 3:20
THE CHURCH AND ITS MISSION​
The Church are those regenerate persons who are gathered together in Christ, the head of the church, through which the Gospel is preached and believers are nurtured. To accomplish the work of the ministry, we believe in the priesthood of the believer and in the ministry of Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors, and Teachers.
Matthew 28:19, 20, Mark.16:15, Acts 1:8, Ephesians 4:11-16, 1 Cor. 14:12, Ephesians 4:12, 1 Pet 2:9, Ephesians 4:11-12
​
THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST
His coming will be personal, visible, and glorious. The dead in Christ will rise, then the redeemed that are alive shall be caught up together to meet the Lord in the air. Withe the Second Coming of Christ will begin the thousand year reign of Christ over an earthly kingdom.
John 14:3, Acts 1:10-11, Hebrews 9:28, Philippians 3:20, Zechariah 12:10, 2 Thessalonians 1:7, Colossians 3:4, Revelation 1:7, 1 Corinthians 15:51-52, 1 Thessalonians 4:17, 2 Thessalonians 2:1, Titus 2:13, Revelation 20:2, 6
