ESSENTIALS WE BELIEVE:
1. About God
God is creator of the universe. He has eternally existed in three personalities: the Father, the Son, and the Holy
Spirit. These three are co-equal and are one God.
2. About Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He is co-equal with the Father. Jesus lived a sinless human life and offered
Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all people by dying on the cross. He arose from the dead after three
days to demonstrate His power over sin and death. He ascended to heaven's glory and will return again to earth
to reign as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
3. About the Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is co-equal with the Father and the Son of God. He is present in the world to make men aware of
their need for Jesus Christ. He also lives in every Christian from the moment of salvation. He fills and anoints the
Christian with power for living, understanding of spiritual truth, and guidance in doing what is right. He distributes
spiritual gifts to every believer and leads us in how we should pray. As Christians we seek to live under His control
daily.
4. About the Bible
The Bible is God's Word to us and is living and powerful. It was written by human authors, under the supernatural
guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is the source of truth for Christian beliefs and living. Because it is inspired by God, it
is truth without any mixture of error.
5. About Human Beings
People are made in the image of God and are the highest object of His creation. Because of the fall of man,
human beings are born in sin and are subject to God's judgment of death. All people are in need of the salvation
that is offered by God in His Son Jesus Christ.
6. About Salvation
Salvation is God's free gift to us but we must receive it. We can never make up for our sin by self-improvement or
good works. Only by trusting in Jesus Christ as God's offer of forgiveness can anyone be saved from sin's
penalty. When we turn from our self-ruled life and turn to Jesus in faith we are saved. Eternal life begins the
moment one receives Jesus Christ into his life by faith.
7. About Eternity
People were created to exist forever. We will either exist eternally separated from God by sin, or eternally with
God through forgiveness and salvation. To be eternally separated from God is Hell. To be eternally in union with
God is eternal life. Heaven and Hell are real places of eternal existence.
