We believe that
God is Father, Son and Holy Spirit. That man fell by disobedience. That Jesus was born of a virgin, died on a cross and rose
again to redeem us. That this salvation is a free gift by the grace of God. That the blood of Christ is the only propitiation
for our sin.
We believe that Jesus Christ
is the same yesterday and today and forever.
The Holy Scriptures
We believe the Bible
is God-inspired (2 Timothy 3:16,17).
The Eternal Godhead
We believe God is Triune:
Father, Son and Holy Spirit (2 Corinthians 13:14).
The Fall of Man
We believe that man
was created in the image of God, but that by voluntary disobedience he fell from innocence and purity (Romans 5:12).
The Plan of Salvation
We believe that while
we were yet sinners Christ died for us, signing the pardon of all who believe on Him (John 3:16; Romans 5:8).
Salvation Through Grace
We believe that we have
no righteousness and must come to God pleading the righteousness of Christ (Ephesians 2:8).
Repentance and Acceptance
We believe that upon
sincere repentance, and a whole-hearted acceptance of Christ, we are justified before God (1 John 1:9).
The New Birth
We believe that the
change which takes place in the heart and life at conversion is a very real one (2 Corinthians 5:17; Galatians 2:20).
Daily Christian Living
We believe that it is
the will of God that we be sanctified daily, growing constantly in the faith (Hebrews 6:1).
Baptism and the Lord's Supper
We believe that baptism
by immersion is an outward sign of an inward work (Matt. 28:19). We believe in the commemoration of the Lord's Supper by the
symbolic use of the bread and juice of the vine (1 Corinthians 11:24, 25).
Baptism with the Holy Spirit
We believe that the
Baptism with the Holy Spirit is to endue the believer with power; and that His incoming is after the same manner as in Bible
days (Acts 2:4).
The Spirit-Filled Life
We believe that it is
the will of God that we walk in the Spirit daily (Ephesians 4:30-32).
The Gifts and Fruit of the Spirit
We believe that the
Holy Spirit has gifts to bestow upon the Christian; and that we should show spiritual fruit as evidence of a Spirit-filled
life (1 Corinthians 12:1-11; Galatians 5:22).
Moderation
We believe that the
experience and daily walk of the believer should never lead him into extremes of fanaticism (Philippians 4:5).
Divine Healing
We believeWe believe
that divine healing is the power of Christ to heal the physically sick in answer to the prayer of 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, 17).
Church Relationship
We believe it is our
sacred duty to identify ourselves with the visible Body of Christ (Acts 16:5; Hebrews 10:25).
Civil Government
We believe that rulers
should be upheld at all times except in things opposed to the will of God (Romans 13:1-5).
The Final Judgement
We believe that all
shall stand some day before the judgement seat of God, and there receive eternal life or death (2 Corinthians 5:10).
Heaven
We believe that heaven
is the glorious eternal home of born-again believers (John 14:1-3; Revelation 7:15-17).
Hell
We believe that hell
is the place of eternal torment for all who reject Christ as the Savior (Revelation 20:10,15).
Evangelism
We believe that soul
winning is the most important responsibility of the Church (James 5:20).
Tithes and Offerings
We believe that the
method ordained of God for the support and spread of His cause is by giving of tithes and free-will offerings (Malachi 3:10;
2 Corinthians 9:7).
John 10:7-10
Therefore Jesus said again, "I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the
sheep. All who ever came before me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. I am the gate; whoever
enters through me will be saved. He will come in and go out, and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and
destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. NIV
