Believe:
About God:
We believe there is one God, the Creator and Ruler of the universe. We believe that he eternally exists in three distinct personalities: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
About Jesus Christ:
We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He is co-equal with the Father and the Holy Spirit. We believe in His virgin birth, sinless life, His sacrificial death on the cross for the sins of the world, His bodily resurrection and ascension into heaven, His intercession for us, and His return to the earth to reign as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
About The Holy Spirit:
We believe the Holy Spirit is co-equal with the Father and the Son of God. He is present in the world to make mankind aware of their needs for Jesus Christ. He also lives in every Christian from the moment of Salvation. He provides the Christian with the power for living, understanding of spiritual truth, and the guidance in the everyday Christian life. He gives every believer a spiritual gift when they are saved. As a Christian we are to surrender our lives to His control.
About the Bible:
The Bible is very simply God's Word. It is the only authority for faith and conduct and is the sole, legitimate standard by which all aspects of living are evaluated. It is inspired by God and is without error in the original writings.
