north of Denton. Teaching and Spreading the GOOD NEWS of JESUS CHRIST. Bible: We believe the Bible, to be the inspired Word
of God, without error, the revelation of His will for the salvation of men, and the divine and final authority for all Christian
faith and life. 2 Timothy 3: 15,16 l 2 Peter 1:19,21 God: We believe in one God existing in three persons: Father, Son and
Holy Spirit. God has always been and will always be the only God. There were none before Him and shall be none after him.
The Father: We believe that the Father created all things in heaven and on earth. He created human beings out of a love for
us and desires a personal relationship with each of us. Jesus: We believe that Jesus Christ is true God and true man, having
been conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He lived a sinless life and died on the cross as the sacrifice
for our sins according to the Scriptures. Further, He arose bodily from the dead and ascended into heaven. Matthew 3: 16,17
l 1 John 5:7 Holy Spirit: We believe that the ministry of the Holy Spirit is to convict men, making them aware of their sin
and the salvation available through Jesus. He regenerates, guides, instructs, and empowers the believer for godly living and
service. Man: We believe that man was created in the image of God and sinless, but fell into sin and is therefore lost and
subject to judgment. There is nothing man can do to save himself from this judgement, but he can allow the death of Jesus
to take the place of his own eternal damnation by acknowledging God and accepting the free gift of salvation. Genesis 1:26,31
l Romans 5:14 Salvation: We believe that the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ provides the only way of justification and
salvation for all who believe. Furthermore, any who attach additional works of man as a requirement for salvation are false
in that they infer Jesus death is insufficient in and of itself to save and that human beings somehow have the capability
to save themselves. Accepting the Sinner, Denouncing the Sin: We believe that no sin is too big for God to forgive. Therefore,
as Christians we should be open and eager to share the Gospel with everyone regardless of their sin or affliction. However,
making Jesus lord of our lives means striving towards holiness and turning from our sinful ways. Therefore, while being open
to all sinners, Christians ought not accept, ignore, or promote any sin as permissible. Come and Join Us at Church. If you
