We believe in the existence of God as the Creator and Ruler of the universe. God is eternally present in three personalities: the Father, the Son (Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit. These three personalities are co-equal and form one God. Genesis 1:1,26,27, 3:22; Psalm 90:2; Matthew 28:19; 1 Peter 1:2; 2 Corinthians 13:14

Jesus Christ’s Role
Jesus Christ is the Son of God, co-equal with the Father. He lived a perfect, sinless human life and willingly sacrificed Himself on the cross to atone for the sins of all people. Rising from the dead after three days, He demonstrated His power over sin and death. He ascended to Heaven and will return one day to reign as the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Matthew 1:22, 23; Isaiah 9:6; John 1:1-5; 14:10-30; Hebrews 4:14,15; 1 Corinthians 15:3,4; Romans 1:3,4; Acts 1:9-11; 1 Timothy 6:14,15; Titus 2:13
The Role of the Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is also co-equal with God and Jesus Christ. He plays a vital role in the world by revealing to people their need for Jesus Christ. Once a person becomes a Christian, the Holy Spirit resides in them, providing power for daily living, understanding of spiritual truths, and guidance in doing what is right. He also bestows spiritual gifts upon believers. 2 Corinthians 3:17; John 16:7-13, 14:16,17; Acts 1:8; 1 Corinthians 2:12, 3:16; Ephesians 1:13; Galatians 5:25; Ephesians 5:18
The Authority of the Bible
The Bible is considered God's Word, written by human authors under the divine guidance of the Holy Spirit. As Christians, we believe the Bible to be the ultimate source of truth for our beliefs and how we should live our lives. It is wholly inspired by God and contains no errors. 2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20,21; 2 Timothy 1:13; Psalm 119:105,160, 12:6; Proverbs 30:5
The Nature of Human Beings
We believe that humans are created in the spiritual image of God, designed to reflect His character. While each person possesses great potential for good, we are also affected by sin, an attitude of disobedience towards God. Sin creates a separation between us and God and leads to various problems in life. Genesis 1:27; Psalm 8:3-6; Isaiah 53:6a; Romans 3:23; Isaiah 59:1, 2
Understanding Salvation
Salvation is a free gift from God that we must accept. We cannot earn it through self-improvement or good works. Instead, we are saved by placing our trust in Jesus Christ and accepting His offer of forgiveness. This new life in Christ begins when we turn away from living for ourselves and choose to follow Him by faith. Romans 6:23; Ephesians 2:8,9; John 14:6, 1:12; Titus 3:5
Assurance of Eternal Security
Once we receive salvation through Jesus Christ, we are eternally secure in our relationship with God. True believers cannot lose their salvation, as it is upheld by God's grace and power, not by our own efforts. This assurance gives us comfort and peace. John 10:29; 2 Timothy 1:12; Hebrews 7:25, 10:10,14; 1 Peter 1:3-5
Understanding Eternity
People are designed to exist forever, either eternally separated from God due to sin (Hell) or in union with Him through forgiveness and salvation (Heaven). These are real places of everlasting existence, and our choices in this life determine our eternal destination. John 3:16; John 14:17; Romans 6:23; Romans 8:17-18; Revelation 20:15; 1 Cor. 2:7-9
At our core, we believe in the loving and forgiving nature of God, the redeeming work of Jesus Christ, the empowering presence of the Holy Spirit, and the life-transforming truth of the Bible. Our faith offers the hope of eternal life with God for all who accept His gift of salvation through Jesus Christ.
