Our Beliefs

Bible

We believe the Holy Bible is the Word of God. We accept fully the writings of the entire Old and New Testament as the inspired Word of God.

Godhead

We believe in the Godhead. We believe in the only true God, the Creator, who is eternal, loving, just, merciful, holy, and unchanging. We believe that God exists in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, equal in every divine attribute and executing distinct but complimentary offices in the work of redemption.

Jesus Christ

We believe that Jesus Christ is God's Only Son. That He preexisted with God the Father before His birth in Bethlehem... that He was supernaturally conceived by the Holy Spirit in the body of the Virgin Mary... that He lived a totally sinless and perfect life... that He died on the cross for the sins of the whole world... that He was buried and supernaturally raised out of the grave and declared the victorious Son of God over sin, death, and hell... that He is presently seated at the right hand of God in the place of authority in heaven... that He is coming back to the earth soon to bodily resurrect the dead in Christ and judge all mankind.

Holy Spirit

We believe in the Holy Spirit. We believe that the Holy Spirit is a divine person, equal with God the Father and God the Son. We believe the Holy Spirit convicts the sinner, regenerates the sinner, indwells and seals the believer at the point of initial salvation.

Man

We believe that Adam, the first man, was created in the image of God and in innocence. However, by his voluntary transgression against the will and law of God, he fell into sin and incurred not only physical death, but spiritual death, which is separation from God. Consequently, all human beings are born with a sinful nature and are in need of redemption.

Salvation

We believe in salvation. We believe that salvation is by grace through faith, that it is the free gift of God. We believe that man is saved by faith in the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. We believe a person must repent of his sin and by faith receive and trust the Person and Provision of Jesus Christ as Lord in order to be saved, and can enjoy his life of salvation.
