We Believe...
That “All Scripture is given by inspiration of God,” by which we know as THE BIBLE. We believe that it is inerrant in the original writing and that its teaching and authority is absolute, supreme and final. We believe the Holy Spirit guided men of God in all that they wrote.
2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:21
The eternal Godhead exists in three persons – the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. These three are one God.
Romans 1:20; John 17:5; Deuteronomy 4:35
In the personality and deity of the Lord Jesus Christ. We believe he was begotten of the Holy Spirit, was born of the virgin Mary, truly God and truly man.
John 1:1, 14; Matthew 1:20; Phil 2:5-7
In the personality and deity of the Holy Spirit. We believe that the Holy Spirit is the source and power of all acceptable worship and service, the infallible interpreter of the infallible Word, who indwells every true believer and is ever present to testify of Christ.
John 15:26; Acts 5:3,4; Romans 8:26
That man was created in the image of God, after His likeness, as stated in the Word of God. We believe that the whole human race fell in the fall of the first Adam. We believe that we are all dead in trespasses and sins. Therefore, man cannot see nor enter the kingdom of God until he is born again by the Holy Spirit. We believe there is nothing that we can do to take us one step closer to heaven, no good works, no baptism, or no ordinances. Only a new life implanted by the Holy Spirit through the Word of God is absolutely essential to salvation.
Genesis 1:26, 27; Romans 5:12; Ephesians 2:1-3
That Jesus Christ became the sinner’s substitute before God and died as the perfect sacrifice for the sin of the whole world. We believe nothing can be added to the value of the precious blood or to the finished work of Christ for us. We believe Jesus Christ died for every person.
1 John 2:2; Hebrews 2:9; Galatians 3:13, Romans 3:25
In the resurrection of the crucified body of Jesus Christ. We believe that His body was raised from the dead; according to the Scriptures and that He ascended into Heaven and sits on the right hand of God as the believer’s high priest and advocate.
Luke 24:39; Acts 1:10-11; Hebrews 1:3
That Christ in the fullness of the blessings, secured by His death and resurrection is received by faith alone and that the moment we trust in Him as our Savior, we pass out of death into everlasting life. We believe at the time of acceptance of Christ as Savior, He comes to dwell within the believer to live with that person forever.
Hebrews 9:15; John 5:24; Ephesians 1:3, Galatians 2:20
That the Church is composed of all those who truly believe on the Lord Jesus as Savior.
Ephesians 1:22, 23; Ephesians 2:19-22; Galatians 5:13-15
That all believers in our Lord Jesus Christ are called into a life of separation from worldly and sinful practices. Believers are created in Christ Jesus unto good works.
1 John 2:15; Romans 13:14; Ephesians 2:10
In the evangelism of the world, preaching the Gospel to every creature. We believe especially in the importance of the telling the Gospel message to every child.
Mark 16:15; Matthew 18:14
In the return of our Lord Jesus Christ. We believe we should be ready and looking for Him to return.
Acts 1:11; 1 Thessalonians 4:16, 17; Titus 2:13
That those who have trusted in the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation will immediately have their soul in heaven upon their death. Their soul will remain with Christ forever in His presence.
Luke 23:43; 2 Corinthians 5:8; I Thessalonians 4:15-18
That the souls of those who have rejected Jesus Christ will eternally be separated from Christ and His glory and cast into the “lake of fire”.
