ABOUT GOD
God is the Maker and Ruler of the universe. Not only is the
Creator, He is our Heavenly Father. He loves us as no other can and will provide
for all our needs. He is present everywhere, so that we can never be separated
from his love.
ABOUT JESUS CHRIST
Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of God who gave His life as
the perfect sacrifice for the sins of the world. After three days in the grave,
he arose from the dead and is alive forevermore. He is King of King and Lord of
Lords who will be finally victorious over all evil. He is the means by which our
sins are forgiven and the only means by which we can be reconciled to God.
ABOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT
The Holy Spirit is co-equal with the Father and the Son, three
Persons in the triune God. He is "the other Comforter" who dwells in the hearts
of all who follow Jesus, convincing us of the truth of Christ's teachings and
empowering us to live as God's people before a watching world.
ABOUT HUMANITY
Human beings are by nature sinful and cannot make themselves good
enough to stand before a Holy and Righteous God. We can only be made righteous
by God's Grace and our acceptance of God's forgiveness through Jesus' sacrifice
on the cross. Through our faith in Jesus, we will be given be given new life,
and this life is eternal.
ABOUT THE BIBLE
The Bible is the inspired word of God. It is our only guide to
show us what we should believe and how we should live. It is for everyone to
read so that all may hear God speak to their hearts and minds.
ABOUT THE CHURCH
The Church is made up of people of every race who believe in Jesus
Christ. Jesus Christ is the Head of the Church, and the members are His Body.
Children of church members are called "children of the covenant." Their baptism
is a sign and seal of this covenant relationship and of their membership in the
Christian family. The mission of the church is to make Jesus Christ known
throughout the whole world.
ABOUT THE SACRAMENTS
We have two sacraments, instituted by Christ in the new covenant,
or testament. They are baptism and the holy supper, or communion.
