What We Believe

GOD

God is the supreme and ultimate mind that is eternal, immortal, invisible, and worthy of honor and glory (1 Timothy 1:17). This God is the blessed and only Sovereign King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone possesses immortality and dwells in unapproachable light (1 Timothy 6:15—16).

JESUS CHRIST

Jesus Christ is the Word with God and has been God from the beginning (John 1:1—2). Jesus, born of a virgin, became the anointed Messiah of God—a man whom God took great pleasure in and embodied for the salvation of all mankind (Matthew 1:25; 3:17). We believe that Jesus Christ fulfilled the covenant that was delivered to Moses and issued into affect a new covenant for humanity to abide by today (Matthew 5:17; Hebrews 8:6—13).

SCRIPTURE

God directed men by His Spirit to verbally speak and transcribe His words to all humanity

(2 Tim 3:16—17; 2 Pt 1:20—21).

DISCIPLESHIP

Looking unto Jesus as the author and finisher of the faith is the wisest decision one will make (Hebrews 12:2). However, discipleship ought to be closely considered before rushing in; Jesus wants those who have considered the cost to follow Him (Luke 14:26—35).

THE ELECT OF GOD

Jesus Christ laid down His life for the salvation of all people (John 3:16). However, Jesus purchased the church with the shedding of His blood (Acts 20:28). The body (church) of Christ is made up of a kind of person that God planned, from the beginning, to choose. The type of person that would submit to the purpose(s) of God (2 Tim 1:9; Matthew 7:21). Jesus invites every person to take His yoke upon them and learn from Him (Matthew 11:28—30).

THE RESURRECTION OF CHRIST

Jesus Christ was raised from the dead on the third day (1 Corinthians 15:3—4). This resurrection was attested by many eyewitnesses during the 1st century (1 Corinthians 15:5—8), and in light of this miraculous event, disciples of Christ, then and now, can be assured of their salvation as well as their proper investment of faith (1 Corinthians 15:1—2, 13—17).
