We believe, to put it simple, in the teachings of Jesus Christ and his apostles, as they have been given to us through the Scriptures of the Bible. We believe that there is only one God, who is the Creator of everything. He is also the true Father of all people, but we believe in the Bible’s testimony that a historic disaster of disobedience, inherited from our forefathers, separated us from the position as God’s beloved children. As His response to that tragedy, God sent His own Son to reconcile us with himself. Because of that, and through openhearted faith and trust in that, our relationship with the loving and holy Father in Heaven has been restored. We believe that Jesus’ death on the cross turned the page of this world’s history. We believe that Jesus rose physically from the dead on the third day after he was crucified and buried. We believe the eyewitnesses’ words that he gave them numerous proofs that he was alive. We believe that he went to Heaven, and that he poured out God’s spirit on all those who by faith in him, have become children of God. We believe and we eagerly await that Jesus will ultimately return to be crowned as King of the nations of this world, and his reign will be without an end.
