What We Believe

God is self-revealed through Scripture, and supremely through Jesus Christ. Human beings, though created in the image of God, have fallen away from God’s standards.

The result of our falling away is that we are separated from God. Despite our waywardness, God still loves human beings with  unfathomable love. God is unwilling for our separation to continue; therefore God’s Son, Jesus, came to earth to teach us God’s ways, and supremely, to die in place of our sins. God confirmed the deity of Christ and the efficacy of His death by raising Jesus from the dead.

Individuals must accept for themselves the sacrifice of Christ by faith. Christ’s death brings us forgiveness from the penalty of sin and eventual freedom from its power so that, over time, we become more and more like him. Our faith should manifest itself in works of love and service God will bring a culmination to history, at which time every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.

At the end of history as we know it, God will judge the earth and establish a heavenly Kingdom in which neither tears nor trials will any longer be found.
