what we believe...
About the Bible
We believe that the Bible (both the Old and New Testaments) is the inerrant,
verbally inspired, and infallible Word of God, and that the Bible is
absolute Truth and God's final authority. |
About God
We believe that there is one true living God who is revealed to us a the
Godhead existing eternally in three persons. God the Father, God the
Son, and God the Holy Spirit, and these three are as one God. |
- We believe that God the Father orders all
things according to His own purpose for His own glory.
- We believe that God the Son is Jesus Christ
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born without sin of the
Virgin Mary, to redeem man from sin. We believe Jesus rose from
the dead and ascended to the right hand of the Father.
- We believe He intercedes for us today as High
Priest and Advocate.
- We believe that God the Holy Spirit is sent
from God to convict of sin, righteousness, and to be an indwelling
guide, teacher, and source of strength for the believer. We believe
that all who receive Christ as Savior are born of the Holy Spirit.

About Man
We believe that man was created in the image of God; that man sinned (rebelled
against God) and thereby incurred both a physical death and a spiritual
death (eternal separation from God); and that all human beings are born
with a sinful nature. |
About Salvation
We believe that salvation is through Jesus Christ alone and His atonement
and forgiveness on the cross. We believe that all who call upon the name
of the Lord as Savior and Redeemer shall be saved and will spend eternity
with God. |
About the Church
We believe that a New Testament church is an association of baptized believers
who come together to exalt the Savior through worship, equip the saints
through discipleship, edify the servants through fellowship, and evangelize
the sinner through ministry. |
About the End Times
We believe in the imminent, pre-millennial, bodily return of the Lord Jesus
Christ to take His Church from the earth and to reward them according
to their works. We believe in the bodily resurrection of the just and
the unjust, the everlasting blessedness of the saved, and the everlasting
conscious punishment of the lost. |
About the Believer
We believe that every believer is called to a holy life of service and
should belong to a Bible-believing local church for fellowship and for
the furtherance of the Gospel to every person at home and around the
world. |
