Beliefs

We are children of the Most High, the Living God, and followers of His Son Jesus Christ, and we believe you should be too.

WE BELIEVE:

  • that there is only one way to heaven
  • that there is nothing you can do, however good it might be, to get there
  • that you can get to heaven only by the grace of God and faith that His Son Jesus Christ paid the debt you owed (because of your sinful nature), but could never pay, thereby opening the door for you to be reconciled to God and to have His righteousness
  • that without faith it is impossible to please God
  • that Jesus of Nazareth was fully human and fully God
  • that you can know Him if you accept the gift He offers, turn from your sin, and agree that He is your Lord
    • (This is very good news for us since we know a little about how evil our hearts are.)
  • that there is one God who exists in three persons (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit), a concept which can best be understood by equating it to the way time has a past, a present, and a future, yet is all still time
  • that the Bible is the written Word of the Living God
    • that it is itself living and active, powerful and effective, and written by men as inspired by the Holy Spirit
  • that God created us as free moral agents who have a real will and can make decisions that actually matter
    • For this reason we believe no one should be forced or coerced to believe as we do.
  • in absolute Truth, which means that some things are actually true for all people at all times no matter what they think
  • that God is love and that we are therefore not to condemn others or judge their hearts, but rather to love them, enemy and friend alike–not always easy to be sure

Consequently you will find us clear about what is right, but not willing to force it on you.
