AVALON MISSIONARY CHURCH/PRESCHOOL CORE BELIEFS
God
There is one eternal, all-powerful, all-knowing and everywhere-present Triune God: God the Father, Son & Holy Spirit, who is the creator and sustainer of all things.
Jesus
He is God incarnate, yet human. He lived a sinless life, died to make atonement for all the sin of all mankind, was bodily resurrected, and is now mediator at the right hand of the Father. He is assuredly coming in power and glory for His believing followers and is the only Savior of men.
Holy Spirit
He convicts the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment, regenerating all who repent of their sins and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. He sanctifies, empowers, teaches guides and comforts believers.
The Bible
The Bible is the difinely inspired Word of God and is authoritative in all matters.
Salvation
Salvation is the result of genuine repentance of sin and faith in the atoning work of Christ. It brings forgivemess to the sinner. We call this new birth.
The Church
We believe in the invisible and universal Church as an organism. It is composed of all belivers in the Lord Jesus who have been vitally united by faith to Christ.
Ordianances
We believe the Christian ordinances are two: Baptism and the Lord's Supper. We believe they are outward rites appointed by Christ to be administered in each church, not as a means of salvation, but as a visible sign and seal of its reality.
