We believe that Jesus Christ is the unique Son of God—completely God and completely man. He was born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead. We believe Jesus is Lord and that he is the pure manifestation of God’s grace for all who will receive him. We believe he also resides in the heart of the believer (John 14:23 and Ephesians 3:17) and we are called to live our lives in him (John 15:9 and Colossians 2:6). God has exalted him and one day every knee will bow and tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord (Philippians 2:9-11).
