What We Believe

We believe all Scripture, both Old and the New Testaments, was given by Inspiration of God as the writers were moved by the Holy Spirit to write the very words of God, and that these Scriptures are the only rule of faith and practice.

(2 Timothy 3 16; 2 Peter 1:20-21)

We believe in the tri-unity of one true God who has revealed Himself as existing in three functions: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; distinguishable but indivisible.

(Matthew 28:19; Luke 3:21-22)

We believe the human race was originally created by God in His image, until sin entered by disobedience and rebellion and left humanity totally incapable of saving itself.

(Romans 5:12; Genesis 1:27)

We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, both very God and very man.

(Luke 1:26-35; John 1:1, 14&18; Isaiah 7:14: Isaiah 9:6)

We believe Christ our Savior died, for our sins, was buried and rose again the third day according to the Scriptures, and appeared to His disciples.

(1 Corinthians 15:1-8; Romans 4:25)

We believe in the bodily ascension of Jesus to Heaven, His exaltation as Lord to the right hand of the Father, and His literal, physical return the second time for the church. (John 14:2-3; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18)

We believe in the salvation of sinners by grace through repentance and faith in the perfect and sufficient work of Christ upon the cross by which we obtain the remission of sins through His shed blood.

(Ephesians 2:8-9; Hebrews 9:12-14; Romans 5:11)

We believe that water baptism is the obedient response to the command of the Lord. (Matthew 28:19; Acts 2:38; Acts 19:1-6)

We believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit, the promise of the Father for the empowering of the Christian, and its accompanying gifts and fruits.

(Acts 2:1-4; 8:14-17, 10:44-46; Galatians 3:14)

We believe the church is the body of Christ and that Christ gave to the church apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers.

(Ephesians 4:11-13)

We believe in the resurrection of the dead, external judgement, and life everlasting. (John 3:16; 5:24-21; Mark 9:43-48; 2 Thessalonians 1:9; Revelation 20:11
