WE BELIEVE
THE BIBLE - We believe that the Bible, both Old and New Testament, are the inspired Word of God. We are a group of people who love the TRUTH, thus we love the Bible. It is our desire to uphold the Scriptures with honor and dignity as God's Word deserves - especially in our times. (2 Timothy 3:16-17).
THE ETERNAL GODHEAD (The Trinity) - We believe that God is triune: Father, Son (Jesus Christ) and Holy Spirit; the Three are coexistent, coeternal, and equal in divine perfection. We are committed to worshipping the ONE and true God as the Bible has revealed Him (2 Corinthians 13:14).
THE FALL OF MAN - We believe that man was originally created in the image of God. Through man's (Adam) disobedience - sin entered the world. Therefore, each person born after the initial sin of Adam & Eve have inherited a nature of sin and are in need of redemption (Romans 5:12).
THE PLAN OF SALVATION - We believe that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us, took our place, and with His life's blood purchased all who would believe in Him as the Messiah. We believe that Jesus Christ is the only way to the Father (John 3:16, Romans 5:8).
SALVATION THROUGH GRACE - We believe that we receive salvation when we come to God through faith in the atoning work of Jesus on the cross; salvation is God’s gift to us (Ephesians 2:8).
REPENTANCE AND ACCEPTANCE - We believe that, upon sincere repentance and a wholehearted acceptance of Christ, we are justified before God (Romans 10:8-10, 1 John 1:9).
THE NEW BIRTH - We believe that a very real change takes place in people who accept Christ as Savior; believers allow Christ’s life to be lived through them (2 Corinthians 5:17, Galatians 2:20).
THE DAILY CHRISTIAN LIFE - We believe that it is the will of God for every believer to walk in progressive sanctification, growing continuously in the faith (Hebrews 6:1).
BAPTISM AND COMMUNION - We believe that baptism by immersion is an outward sign of an inward work (Matthew 28:19, Romans 6:4). We also believe in the commemoration of the Lord’s Supper (communion) by the symbolical use of bread and the fruit of the vine (1 Corinthians 11:24-25).
BAPTISM WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT - We believe that the Baptism with the Holy Spirit empowers believers and that this experience follows the same pattern that is described in the New Testament (Acts 2:4).
THE SPIRIT FILLED LIFE - We believe that it is the will of God for every believer to walk daily in the power of the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 4:30-32).
THE GIFTS AND FRUIT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT - We believe that the Holy Spirit has spiritual gifts to impart to Christians (1 Corinthians 12:1-11) and that we should show spiritual fruit as evidence of a Spirit-filled life (Galatians 5:22-25).
DIVINE HEALING - We believe that divine healing is the power of Jesus Christ to heal the sick in answer to the prayer of faith; He, who does not change, is still willing and able to heal the body, as well as the soul and spirit in answer to faith (James 5:14-16).
THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST - We believe that the second coming of Christ is personal and imminent (1 Thessalonians 4:16, Titus 2:11-13).
THE LOCAL CHURCH - We believe that it is essential that all Christians identify with a congregation of believers with whom they can worship God, observe the ordinances of Christ, exhort and support one another, labor for the salvation of others, and work together to advance the Lord’s Kingdom (Hebrews 10:24-25).
THE FINAL JUDGMENT - We believe that every person will one day stand before the judgment seat of Christ to receive eternal life or death (Revelation 20:11-15, Hebrews 9:27, 2 Corinthians 5:10).
HEAVEN - We believe that heaven is the glorious eternal home of every Christian (John 14:1-3,
Revelation 7:15-17).
HELL - We believe that hell is the place of eternal torment for all who reject Jesus Christ as Savior (Revelation 10:10-15).
EVANGELISM - We believe that the Church’s primary responsibility is to take the whole Gospel to the whole world and make disciples (Matthew 28:18-20, Mark 16:15).
