- We Believe God is giving us
an opportunity to learn about His love and His gifts. He offers a glorious
eternal life with Him through a plan of salvation available to us---one that
all the suffering and sin on earth, as we know it, and even death, cannot rob
from us.
- We Believe the fulfilled
prophecies of scripture prove the Bible is the real and
living word of God and show the effect of His Hand over humankind. The
apocalyptic prophecies of scripture warn that we are living in the last days
of earth's history and we are being called to return to the worship of God as
creator.
-
We Believe the Bible predicts
that Jesus will literally come from Heaven in the near future to take those
who believe in Him into eternal life. The Bible teaches that this return will
be a powerful, visible, audible, and glorious event.
-
We Believe the Bible is the guide
for practice of faith and this is the way to enjoy true peace of mind. The
Bible teaches that this life is a probationary period to be used in service to
God and our fellow human beings.
-
We Believe that Jesus Christ is
the Messiah of Scripture. We accept the grace of His forgiving love,
transforming us and bringing true meaning to life. Because of this gift of
His grace, we choose to live in harmony with God's will (through the power of
the Holy Spirit) as stated in the Bible as the Moral Law.
-
We Believe that God established
the family as the central unit of society and that parents are to teach their
children by example to love, respect, and obey Him. This establishes the
foundation of obedience to the laws of God and the laws of the land enabling
us to live in peace and harmony with all peoples.
-
We Believe we have a God given
responsibility to care for the land, our bodies, the poor, and the afflicted.
God's power flows through us as we cooperate with Him in using our talents,
gifts, means, and opportunities to be a channel of blessing to them all.
Our Purpose
- To understand and proclaim the love of God and
the gospel story of Jesus
- To let God's power and grace do a transforming
work in our lives through responding to His love, His Word, and His Will
- To serve one another
This is the center of our faith, our church,
and our lives.
