Who Is God?
A lot of people have questions about God. We get that. It would take a lifetime of conversations to talk through the goodness and awesomeness of God. But, he can be known. That's why we gather each week to worship and learn more about Him. Then we go out each week to share God's amazing love and grace with others.
We believe that some things must be held as essential to our faith in and understanding of God. We believe that God is LOVE. We believe that God showed his LOVE for us by sending Jesus into the world to die for our sins. We believe as followers of Jesus we are called to unleash God's LOVE in the world.
Who Is God?
-
We believe that there is one God, who has always existed and will always exist
-
We also understand that God's nature is "three-fold": Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19-20;
2 Corinthians 13:14).
Who Is Jesus Christ?
-
We believe the Jesus was born, ministered, died on the cross, rose from the dead, ascended into heaven and is coming back again.
-
We agree with other Christians that Jesus is God.
-
He is distinct from God the Father.
-
He is also distinct from the Holy Spirit.
-
While He is God, He is also human. Jesus was born to the Virgin Mary when the power of the Holy Spirit came upon her (Luke 1:26-35).
Who Is the Holy Spirit?
-
The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity.
-
Jesus promised that he would send "another Counselor" who would be with them forever (John 7:37-39, 14:16).
-
The Church immediately recognized the presence of the Holy Spirit as being equivalent to God's presence (Acts 15:8-9; Ephesians 3:14-19; 1 John 3:24).
