St. Paul A.M.E. Church
ABOUT US

What We Believe:

  1. We believe the Bible stands alone as God's Word; His unchanging Truth. It is His authoritative and dependable guidebook on what to believe and how to live.

  2. We believe in ONE TRUE GOD who eternally exist in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Unlimited and unrivaled in power and wisdom, ALL was and is created by Him and sustained by Him.

  3. We believe that God the Father sent His Son, Jesus, The Christ, into the world; conceived by the Holy Spirit through a miraculous virgin birth to rescue Man from his sin and its grave consequences; that Christ, voluntarily, took a perfect life upon the cross to die in our place, rising again on the third day to sit again on the right hand of God the Father in heaven.

  4. We believe that Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to those who believe in Christ to comfort and keep; to bring truth and understanding and to work in the hearts of Man to establish a relationship with Him, Jesus Christ.

  5. We believe that the "CHURCH" is not a building, but, is the universal body of believers in Christ Jesus who are called to a regular communion

  6. We believe in the forgiveness of sins.

  7. We believe that Jesus shall return to this world at a time known only to the Father God to claim those who died or yet lives believing in Him, to live with Him forever.

These beliefs, in summary, we express regularly as our "APOSTLES' CREED":

    I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ His only son our Lord who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead and buried. The third day he arose from the dead. He ascended into heaven and sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty. From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Church Universal, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body and the life everlasting.
    Amen
