About God
We believe that there is only one God, whom we call Father, as Jesus Christ taught us.
For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus
1 Timothy 2:5 (KJV)
About Jesus
We recognize Jesus as the Son of God who was sent to save mankind from sin and death. Jesus Christ taught that He is the Son of God. His teachings can be summarized that we are to love God and love our neighbor.
About Salvation
We believe in justification by faith–that through belief in Jesus as the Son of God, and in His death and resurrection, we can have a right relationship with God. God’s forgiveness was given once and for all through the death of His son, Jesus Christ.
About the Holy Trinity
We believe in the Trinity – that is, in God as Father, Son and Holy Spirit. In other words, we believe that God took human form as Jesus Christ and that God is present today through the work of the Holy Spirit and evident in the actions of His believers.
God the Father
- There is only one God
- God is a Trinity of Father, Son and Holy Spirit
- God is perfect
- God is omnipotent
- God is everywhere
- God knows everything
- God created the universe
- God keeps the universe going
- God intervenes in the universe
- God loves everyone unconditionally (though people have to comply with various conditions in order to achieve salvation)
- We can get to know God through prayer and worship
- We can get to know God through God’s grace – that is through his love and his power
God the Son
- God lived on earth as Jesus
- Jesus was both wholly God and wholly human
- Jesus was born to a human woman, Mary, but conceived of the Holy Spirit
- Because Jesus was wholly human he was subject to pain, suffering, and sorrow like other human beings
- Jesus was executed by crucifixion but rose from the dead at the Resurrection
- Jesus’s life provides a perfect example of how God wants people to live
- Jesus died on the Cross so that those who believe in him will be forgiven of all their sins
God the Holy Spirit
- After the Resurrection, Jesus remained on earth for only a few days before going up into Heaven
- Jesus promised that he would stay with his followers, so after he went to Heaven he sent his Spirit to guide them
- The Holy Spirit continues to guide, comfort, and encourage Christians
