Our Beliefs
The following are the core beliefs of Bay Harbour and are based on the foundational truths taught in the bible and in accordance with the beliefs and doctrine of the Church of God International:
The Trinity
God is three in one existing within the Trinity:
Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit

Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit

The Fall
When Adam and Eve chose not to obey God, they ceased to be what they were made to be and became distorted images of God. This caused them to fall out of fellowship with God, and fractured all of creation ever since that time.

Salvation
Jesus Christ came to reconcile us with God. He lived a life without sin and willingly died on the cross to pay the penalty for our transgressions. God raised him from the dead and now, by grace, offers as a free gift eternal life to all who follow Christ, by faith, as their Lord and Savior.
