What We Believe 1. The ultimate answers and hope for life comes from God. 2. There is one God, who is three persons in one, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. He made all things. 3. Every person needs a relationship with God, but every person is naturally separated from Him due to the fact that everyone has failed to do God’s will perfectly. It is impossible to have a true relationship with Him by our own ability and, left to ourselves, we are destined to be separated from Him and under His punishment. 4. God loved us so much that He became human, the person of Jesus. He taught us about God, lived a perfect life, suffered the punishment of our sin by dying on the cross for us, and was physically raised back to life. He ascended into heaven to fully exercise his glory and authority as God. 5. By faith in Jesus, God gives the gift of forgiveness and removes all that separates us from a relationship with Him. This saving faith is created by God as a person hears the message of Jesus and as God works through baptism. 6. On the last day, Jesus will return and will raise up bodily all the dead, to give to every believer a glorified body and eternal life and will condemn all those who have ignored or rejected his forgiveness. 7. A true spiritual relationship with God is a growing process throughout your life, so believers need to encourage each other, meeting together regularly for worship, study, prayer, to celebrate the Lord’s Supper, and to love and care for each other.
