What we believe about:

GOD:

• One eternal God in three co-existent persons - Father, Son and Holy Spirit
• Creator of man and all things
• Really exists and loves and cares about people

 (Matthew 3:16-17; Genesis 1:1-27; Acts 17:24-28; John 1:1-4; 3:16)

JESUS CHRIST:

• God's only Son and Savior of the world
• Born Jesus of Nazareth, both fully human and fully divine, conceived of the Holy Spirit and of the virgin Mary
• Died and was buried, and physically rose again from the dead on the third day
• Will return from heaven to earth to judge the living and the dead

THE HOLY SPIRIT:

• Active in the world eternally and co-equal with the Father and the Son of God
• Present in the world to make men aware of the need for Jesus Christ and to provide Christ followers with the power to live the way He wants us to
• Indewells every believer and gifts each of us for service

(John 16:7-15; Acts 1:7-8; Romans 8:26-27; 1 Corinthians 3:16, 12:1-11)

THE BIBLE:

• Is God's Word to us
• Was written by men guided by the Holy Spirit
• Is the ultimate source of truth and authority
• Is our guidebook for living 
• Is without error

SALVATION:

• Is a gift from God
• Cannot be earned
• Comes by the grace of God through faith in Jesus Christ

 BAPTISM:

• Was modeled by Jesus
• Was commanded by Jesus
• Was integral part of conversion process of the first church in Acts
• Is the outward expression of faith in Christ and something that everyone who accepts his Lordship should want to do 
• Immersion is the Biblical pattern/mode

 (Matthew 3:16-17; Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 2:38; 2:41; Colossians 2:12; Romans 6:3-5)
