JESUS CHRIST

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, came into the world that He might manifest God to men, fulfill prophecy and become the Redeemer of a lost world. To this end, He was born of the Virgin Mary, received a human body and a sinless nature without ceasing to be God. (Luke 1:30-35; John 1:1; 14:18; Hebrews 4:15; Philippians 2:5-11) 

We believe in His infinite love for the lost. He voluntarily accepted His Father’s will and became the divinely provided sacrificial Lamb and took away the sins of the world. (Romans 3:25-36; II Corinthians 5:15; Hebrews 10:5-14) 

We believe He arose from the dead in the same body, though glorified, in which He had lived and died and that His resurrected body is the pattern of that body which ultimately will be given to all believers. (John 20:20; Philippians 3:20-21) 

We believe that, on departing from the earth, He was accepted by His Father and that His acceptance is a final assurance to us that His redeeming work was perfectly accomplished. (Hebrews 1:3) 

We believe that He became Head over all things in the church, which is His body, and in His ministry He does not cease to intercede and be an advocate for the saved. (Luke 1:35; I Corinthians 15: 1-3; Ephesians 1:23; Philippians 2:6-8; I Timothy 2:5; I John 2:1-2) We believe that the explicit message of our Lord Jesus Christ to those whom He has saved is to make Christ known to the whole world and that this is the purpose of the Church through the individuals within it. (Matthew 28:18-19; Acts 1:8; II Corinthians 5:11-21)
