We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God. II Timothy 3:15-17.
We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Matthew 28:19; Ephesians 4:4-6.
We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory. John 1:1-4; Matthew 1:23; Philippians 2:5-11; Hebrews 1:1-4 & 4:15; Acts 1:11 & 2:22-24; I Corinthians 15:3-4.
We believe that, for the salvation of lost and sinful man, repentance of sin and faith in Jesus Christ results in regeneration by the Holy Spirit and that Jesus Christ is the only way of salvation. This is by grace through faith in the finished work of the Lord Jesus Christ. Titus 3:4-7; Luke 24:46-47; Ephesians 2:8-9; John 14:6; Acts 4:12.
We believe in water baptism by emersion as specified in the scriptures. (Matthew 28:19 and Acts 2:38) We believe that all believers should follow the example set by the Lord Jesus Christ and be water baptized.
We believe in the present ministry and baptism of the Holy Spirit whose indwelling enables the Christian to live a godly life and to succesfully minister the love and message of Christ. Galatians 5:16-18; Romans 8:9; Acts 2; Acts 19.
We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; the saved unto the resurrection of eternal life and the lost unto the resurrection of damnation and eternal punishment. The Bible teaches that everyone must give account for every idle word and deed. Revelation 20:11-15; I Corinthians 15:51-57.
We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ and that all true believers are members of His body, the Church. Ephesians 1:22-23; I Corinthians 12:12, 27.
We believe in Heaven, the home of the redeemed, where there will be no sadness, sickness, sorrow, death, pain or night. We believe that those who are saved will be eternally with the Lord.
We believe that the ministry of evangelism is a responsibility of both the church and each Christian. Romans 10:9-15; Acts 1:8; Matthew 28:18-20; I Peter 3:15.
We believe we cannot truly love Jesus Christ without loving those who seem to be the less of the world. It is our goal to love more by loving others more.
