OUR BELIEFS

Our Beliefs

BIBLE

We believe the Bible, containing the Old and New Testament, is the verbally inspired Word of God, is perfect in its original languages, and that it is the only authority for every human’s life and ways. (II Timothy 3:16; II Peter 1:21)

GOD

We believe that there is one true and living God, Creator of heaven and earth; and that in the unity of the Godhead there are three persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit; and that they are equal in their divine perfection and exercising distinct but harmonious roles in the work of salvation. (Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 3:13-17)

MAN

We believe that man was created by God in His own image and by willful disobedience fell from his high and holy state. As a result, all mankind are sinners, and by nature completely void of the righteousness required by God, inclined to do evil, and therefore under just condemnation to eternal punishment without defense or excuse. (Romans 5:12-19)

SALVATION

We believe that man is helpless to save himself, and that salvation is a gift of God received solely by grace through faith in the work of Jesus when he took on Himself our sins in dying on the cross, thus exchanging places with the believer. (I Peter 2:24; Romans 6:23; Ephesians 2:8-10)

THE CHURCH

  • We believe the local church is a group of called-out, baptized believers banded together for the purpose of worshipping God, for receiving instruction in the Word of God, for furthering the Gospel around the world, for observing the ordinances, for prayer, and for Christian fellowship. (Matthew 28:19; John 4:24; Acts 2:42)


  • We believe in the believer’s baptism, which is the immersion in water of the person who has trusted Christ, thus giving testimony that he is identified with Christ. (Romans 6:1-5)


  • We believe Christians are to participate in the Lord’s Supper by partaking of the bread and juice, which symbolize the broken body and shed blood of Christ, respectively. We believe there is no saving grace in the elements, and that the purpose of the Lord’s Supper is to remember the Lord’s death. (I Corinthians 11:23-26)

THE sECOND COMING

We believe in the personal return of the Lord Jesus Christ to the earth to set up His Kingdom (I Thessalonians 4:13-18; Revelation 3:10, 19:16, 20:4).
