We believe in God
as He has
revealed
Himself to all mankind in His Word, the Bible. We believe in the
Triune God - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. He is the Almighty
Creator
of all things. He has "made from one blood every nation of men .
. . so that they should seek Him." [Acts 17:26,27]

We believe the Bible to be God's Word to all of mankind. It not only "contains" the Word of God, but "is" the Word of God, the only source of revealed truth about God. This Word teaches the truth about mankind - our weaknesses and sins, and our need for God's salvation. This Word clearly reveals the astonishing love of God for all people, describing what Jesus has done for us, that we might have forgiveness, life, and salvation. All issues of faith and life are determined by this Word of God. "God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him might not perish, but have everlasting life." [Jn. 3:16] Jesus is "Living Water," like a stream in the wilderness, creating and sustaining spiritual life! "All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God." [Rom. 3:23] Jesus is "the Lamb of God Who takes away the sins of the world." [Jn. 1:29] |
