The Resurrection of Jesus Christ

We believe Jesus Christ was literally resurrected from the dead. Jesus died on the cross at Calvary, but three days later on Easter morning, He physically and spiritually rose from the dead. Christianity is a resurrection faith. 

1 Corinthians 15:20-22  "But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have died. For since Death came through human beings, the resurrection of the dead has also come through a human being; for as all died in Abram, so all will be made alive in Christ."

We believe in One God in three persons; the Father the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The Three separate and distinct persons are the One God-Equal in power and glory. 

John: 17:21:

 "As you, Father, are in my I am in you, may they also be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me" 

John 14:16-17:

 "And I will ask the Father, and He will give you and Advocate, to be with you forever. This is the Spirit of Truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him, nor knows him. You know him, because he abides with you, and he will be in you." 

We believe the Bible is the inspired (meaning "God Breathed") Word of God, given for His people. 

2 Timothy 3:16:

 "All scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching rebuking, correcting, and raining in righteousness. 

We believe that Jesus's mother, Mary was a virgin at the time of conception, and conceived Christ by the agent of the Holy Spirit at that moment, Christ's body was spoken into existence. 

Matthew 1:20-21:

 "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife, for the child conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit, she will bear your son, and you are to name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins."  

We believe there is no way for one to enter into eternal life except through the person and work of Jesus Christ. Jesus makes it clear that there is no other plan outside of Himself for one's salvation. 

John 14:6:

 "Jesus said to him: "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through me." 

We believe that Jesus Christ is fully human and fully divine (God). Although Christ's humanity has a beginning, His divinity has always existed. 

John 1:1:

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God"

John 1:14:

 "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory as the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth." 

We believe the Holy Spirit is a member of the Godhead; and is eternal, all powerful, ever-present, and all knowing. The Holy Spirit is "God in us" 

John 20:21-22:

 "Jesus said to them again "peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I sent  you." When he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them " Receive the Holy Spirit."
