4. We believe that Jesus Christ is the eternal begotten Son of God. He has always existed from the beginning and was present and active in creation. He was born of the Virgin Mary and while being tempted like every man/woman, He lived a sinless life. While He was on this earth He was both fully God and fully man. He was crucified and died upon a cross. He rose again three days later and now sits at the right hand of the Father. Through His death and resurrection, the way was made for man to be redeemed.

5. We believe that mankind is sinful by nature, and that this nature is inherited from the first man Gen. 3; Rom. 5:12-14; 6:23; 1 Cor. 15:22 |

8. We believe that all believers in Jesus Christ are commissioned to, “…go and make disciples |
9. We believe that the Holy Spirit rested upon Jesus Christ while still upon this earth. After ascending into Heaven the Holy Spirit was given to all believers for the purpose of empowering them to complete the Great Commission with signs and wonders following. Matt. 3:11,16; Mark 1:8,10-11; 16:15-18; Luke 3:21; 4:1,14-20; John 14:15-18, 26; 16:5-16; |
