We believe in God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. We believe that sin entered the world when Adam and Eve sinned and, as a result, everyone is born with a sinful nature. We believe that God the Son, Jesus Christ, suffered in our place on the cross to pay the penalty for sin; that He died but rose again; that He now sits at the Father’s right hand, and that He will return to judge every person at the last day. We believe in the Holy Scriptures as the inspired and inerrant Word of God. We believe that by the grace of God every person has the ability and responsibility to choose between right and wrong and that those who repent of their sin and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ are justified by faith and inherit eternal life with Him in heaven. We believe that God counts believers as righteous and frees them from sin’s dominion. He purifies their hearts by a continuing faith in Him and provides for growth in grace for all stages of life. The power and presence of the Holy Spirit enables believers to live victorious Christian lives.
