Our Beliefs
The Scriptures
The Triune God
Jesus the Messiah
We believe that the Lord Jesus is fully God and fully man, having been conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of Mary. Jesus was raised by a devout Jewish couple and lived a perfectly righteous life in body and soul as required by the Law of God. After three years of formal ministry, He was crucified and buried according in fulfillment of the Scriptures. After three days, He rose as the first fruits from the dead as the Scriptures said He would.
His death, burial, and resurrection are the means by which sinful man can be reconciled to their Creator. Christ returned to heaven and is ministering on behalf of the redeemed and preparing a place for those who receive His salvation. We believe He can return at any time to conquer all powers, and setup a physical kingdom in Jerusalem.
The Gospel
Since all people are sinners by nature and choice, we believe that salvation is received by faith in the finished work of Jesus the Messiah. The Scriptures teach that we are saved by the grace of God, in accordance with the powerful work of Jesus – it is not of our work, otherwise we would boast. Since the Scriptures teach salvation is a work of God, once a person has been justified, they are held secure by God until the day of their redemption. Those who believe in Christ are called to be obedient teachings of Jesus.
We believe that the church is a gathering of those who have redeemed by the powerful working of God. It is not a building, it is a people who share Christ in common. There is one global church that consists of all of the redeemed, but the Scriptures also call for local gatherings of saints who can grow, work, worship, and serve together until the return of Christ.
