Our Beliefs

There is one God and Father who is over all and through all and in all.

Gen 1:1-3, Gen 1:27-28, Dt 6:4-5, 1 Tim 1:17, Jer 10:12-13, Ps 139:1-4, Ac 17:24-31

Jesus Christ is Lord, the Son of God, and the Messiah (the Christ). He teaches us how to live, died for our sins, was raised from the dead, ascended to heaven, and he will come back to judge the living and the dead. Jesus reveals the Father to us, and we follow him as his disciples. He is with us always.

Jn 1:1-4, Jn 1:14-18, Jn 3:16-17, Jn 13:12-15, Jn 5:16-30, Ac 2:36, Ac 10:34-43, Ro 10:9, Col 1:15-20, Heb 1:1-4

There is one Spirit of God, who lives in us, helps us, transforms us, and testifies that we are children of God.

Jn 7:37-39, Jn 14:16-17, Jn 16:13-15, Ac 2:38-39, Ro 8:9-17, Ro 8:26-27, 1 Co 6:11, 1 Co 6:19-20, 2 Co 3:17-18, Gal 5:22-25

There is one body, the universal church. By watching our life and doctrine closely, we have the confidence that God wants us to have, that we are a part of that one body.

Eph 1:22-23, Col 1:18, Col 1:24, Eph 3:10-11, Eph 4:11-16, Eph 2:14-22, Heb 12:22-23, Mt 7:21-23, 1 Tim 4:16

There is one hope of eternal life, which makes our earthly struggles light and momentary.

Ti 1:1-3, Ti 2:12-14, Ti 3:7, Eph 1:18-21, Col 1:5, 1 Jn 3:2-3, Ac 24:14-16, 1 Th 5:8, 1 Pe 1:13, 2 Co 3:9-12, Heb 3:6

 

There is one faith, the trust that Jesus is the Son of God, whom God raised from the dead.

Jn 3:16-18, 1 Jn 5:3-5, Ro 10:9-10, 1 Co 15:1-5, Gal 3:23-27, Ac 6:7, Jud 1:3, Heb 4:14

There is one baptism, at which each believing, repentant disciple has received the forgiveness of sins and the gift of the Holy Spirit, and has been added into the body of Christ.

Mt 28:18-20, Jn 3:5, Ac 2:38, Ro 6:3-8, 1 Pe 3:20-21, Col 2:12, Gal 3:26-27, Ac 22:16, 1 Co 12:12-13
