DOCTRINAL BELIEFS

We believe: Jesus is the only to eternal life, the only way to the Father, the only way to heaven. As He said, apart from Him we can have no good thing. "I said to the Lord, 'you are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing.'" (Psalm 16:2)

We believe: Jesus is "the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." (John 14:6)

We believe: "If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved." (Romans 10:9)

We believe: Jesus is the Son of God who came to this earth as a man (Luke 2) to experience life and its temptations (Matthew 4) with one end in view - His 'secret ambition' to reconcile us to Him through His resurrection (John 20:1-31). "For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a a ransom for many." (Mark 10:45) Christ's attitude was this: "Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made Himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled himself and became obedient to death - even death on a cross!" Philippians 2:6-8.

We believe: "This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by His grace through redemption that came by Christ Jesus." (Romans 3:22-24) "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." (Romans 6:23)

We believe: "For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body, but made alive by the spirit..." (1 Peter 3:18)

We believe: "For it by grace you have been saved, through faith - and thi is not from ourselves, it is the gift of God - not by works so that no one can boast." (Ephesians 2:8-9)

We believe: "Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the sinful nature, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful man to be a sin offering. And so He condemned sin in sinful man, in order that the requirements of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according the sinful nature, but according to the Spirit." (Romans 8:1-4)

We believe: God's holy word is truth, for there is no error in God. "As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the Lord is flawless. He is a shield for all who take refuge in Him." (Psalm 18:30) "For the word of the Lord is right and true; He is faithful in all He does." (Psalm 33:4) "Knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation, for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit." (II Peter 1:20-21)
