WHAT WE BELIEVE ABOUT…
THE BIBLE –
The Scripture is the infallible Word of God. The Bible is inspired by God and the basis for the authority of our lives.
All Scripture is inspired by God and is profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness. – II Timothy 3:16
JESUS CHRIST
Christ is the Son of God who became flesh being born of a virgin. He lived a sinless life, died on the cross to pay for the sins of all mankind and rose again ascending into heaven.
But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. – Romans 5:8
SALVATION
Salvation is not by our works but simply by faith in Christ. All have sinned and need a Savior. God sent Christ to pay for our sins and all who believe in Him receive the gift of eternal life.
For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, that no one should boast. – Ephesians 2:8-9
