My Belief

I believe that God exists in three persons; Father, Son and Holy Spirit and that they are one God. I believe that God by His word created all things.

I believe that Jesus came to Earth in the form of man, was born of a virgin, lived sinless among men, died on the cross for our sins, was raised on the third day, and ascended to Heaven to forever be with the Father as intercessor for the believer.

I believe that Jesus' death and shed blood made a one time perfect and everlasting atonement for man's sins. Whereby, man's belief in the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ, accepting Him as Lord and His forgiveness of sin is all that is needed for salvation. Salvation is offered by God's grace and not by man's work .

I believe that through man's acceptance of salvation he has the right to eternal life, is joint heir with Jesus Christ and has the right to be called a child of God. I believe that Jesus will return again in the rapture at the fullness of time and all believers will live eternally with Him in His Kingdom on Earth.

I believe that the Holy Spirit indwells us at the time of salvation. I believe that through submission to the Holy Spirit we as believers are empowered and by seeking the fullness of the Holy Spirit we will have victory in our every day life.

I believe that the Bible is the supernatural inspired Word of God. I believe that the Word of God is alive, will never change and will never pass away. I believe that by careful studying and understanding of the Word that its divine revelation is uplifting and beneficial for all.
