Beliefs

The Bible

We believe all the words of Scripture, as originally given, were inspired by God. (II Timothy 3:16; I Corinthians 2:13)

The Trinity

We believe that God has revealed Himself as one God existing in three persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit; distinguishable but indivisible. (Mt. 28:19; II Corinthians 13:14)

Jesus

  • We believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, the Savior of man, conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, fully God and fully man. (Luke 1:26-35; John 1:18; Isaiah 7:14, 9:6)
  • We believe Christ died for our sins, was buried and rose again the third day, personally appearing to his disciples. (I Corinthians 15:1-4; Romans 4:25)
  • We believe in the bodily ascension of Jesus to heaven, His exaltation, and His personal, literal, and bodily coming again the second time. (John 14:2,3; I Thessalonians 4:13-18)

Man’s Condition

We believe in the creation, the test and fall of man, as recorded in Genesis, which led to his total spiritual depravity and inability to attain to righteousness. (Romans 5:12, 18)

Salvation

We believe in the salvation of sinners by grace through repentance and faith in the perfect and sufficient work of the cross of Calvary by which we obtain remission of sins. (Ephesians 2:8-9; Hebrews 9:12, 22; Romans 5:11)

Water Baptism

We believe in water baptism for the believer in order to fulfill the command of Christ. (Matthew 28:19; Acts 2:37-41, 19:1-6)

The Holy Spirit

  • We believe in the Baptism of the Holy Spirit and the continuous infilling of the Holy Spirit as experiences subsequent to salvation. (Acts 2:1-4, 8:14-17, 10:44-46; Galatians 3:14)
  • We believe in the operation of the gifts of the Holy Spirit. (I Corinthians 12-14)
  • We believe in the Spirit-filled life and the development of godly character in the fear of God as an expression of Christian faith. (Ephesians 5:18; II Corinthians 6:14, 7:1)

Communion

We believe in the breaking of bread commonly called communion or the Lord’s Supper for believers. (I Corinthians 11:28-32)

Eternity

We believe in Eternal Life for the believer (John 5:24, 3:16) and Eternal Punishment of the unbeliever. (Mark 9:43-50; II Thessalonians 1:9)

Satan

We believe in the reality and personality of Satan and the eternal judgment of Satan and his angels. (Matthew 25:41; Revelation 20:10-15)
