We Believe

The Holy Scriptures

The Old and New Testaments are inspired by God. They show us who He is, what He desires, and how He saves us. 2 Timothy 3:16–17; John 5:39

God

There is one eternal God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. He is perfectly holy, wise, just, and loving. Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14

The Father

God the eternal Father created and sustains everything. He is holy and just, full of mercy, grace, and faithful love. Through His Son, He showed us His character and offered salvation to the world. Genesis 1:1; John 3:16; John 14:9; 1 John 4:8

Jesus Christ

Jesus is the divine Son of God who became fully human. He lived without sin, died for us, rose again, serves as our High Priest in heaven, and will return in glory. John 1:1–14; Hebrews 4:14–16; Acts 1:11

The Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit is the third Person of the Godhead and our divine Comforter. He inspired the Bible, shows us our sin, leads us into truth, changes our character, gives spiritual gifts, and gives the church power to witness. John 14:16–17; John 16:8, 13; Acts 1:8

Salvation

Salvation is God’s gift. We receive it by turning from sin and trusting in Jesus. His righteousness forgives us, makes us new, and gives us power to obey. Ephesians 2:8–10; Romans 3:23–26

God’s Law

The Ten Commandments show God’s unchanging standard of right and wrong. We don’t obey to earn salvation; we obey because we love God and trust Him. Exodus 20:1–17; John 14:15

The Sabbath

The seventh-day Sabbath is God’s holy day for rest, worship, fellowship, and service. It begins Friday at sunset and ends Saturday at sunset. Genesis 2:1–3; Exodus 20:8–11; Luke 4:16

Christ’s Heavenly Ministry

Jesus is our High Priest in the heavenly sanctuary. He applies the benefits of His sacrifice and prepares a people for His return. Hebrews 8:1–2; Hebrews 9:24

The Second Coming

Jesus will return in person, visibly, and in glory. His coming is the great hope of every believer. John 14:1–3; Revelation 1:7

Life, Death, and Resurrection

Death is an unconscious sleep until the resurrection. At Christ’s return, the faithful dead will be raised to everlasting life. Ecclesiastes 9:5–6; 1 Thessalonians 4:13–18

Baptism and Christian Life

Baptism by immersion shows that we have turned from sin, trusted in Jesus, and begun a new life with Him. Believers are called to pray, study, connect, live healthfully, serve, and be faithful with what God gives them. Matthew 28:19–20; Romans 6:3–4; 1 Corinthians 6:19–20

The Church and Its Mission

The church is a community called to reflect Jesus and share the everlasting gospel with people everywhere. Matthew 24:14; Revelation 14:6–12

The New Earth

God will make all things new. Sin and death will be no more, and the redeemed will live forever in His presence. Revelation 21:1–5
