WHAT WE BELIEVE

GOD is the Creator and Sustainer of all that exists. God is one, eternally co-existing as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.  (Deuteronomy 6:4; I Corinthians 8:4; Psalm 90:2;  I Timothy 1:17; Matthew 28:19; II Corinthians 13:14)


JESUS CHRIST is the only begotten Son of God, Who died for our sins and arose from the dead.  (I Corinthians 15:1-8)

 

In the DEITY OF JESUS CHRIST- Jesus was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, performed miracles, experienced death on the cross to provide for our redemption, arose from the grave and ascended into Heaven. We believe in His present ministry of intercession for us, and His second coming to earth in power and glory. (John 1:1; Colossians 2:9; Matthew 1:23; Hebrews 4:15; Acts 2:22-23; I Peter 3:18; I John 1:7; Hebrews 7:25; Matthew 24:30)

 

HEAVEN is a real place for all who have chosen to accept Jesus as their personal Lord and Savior and have been saved by grace to spend eternity in the presence of God.  (Revelation 22:3)

 

EVERY PERSON has worth as a creation of God, but all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God. (Romans 3:23; Matthew 10:29-31)

 

BAPTISM BY IMMERSION is an act of obedience to God.  We believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and by faith receive Him into our hearts and lives.  In obedience to God, after being born again and becoming a new person in Christ, we should make a public confession of faith by following Him in His death, burial and resurrection by being baptized by immersion. (Acts 2:38)

 

THE BIBLE is the inerrant, inspired Word of God.  We believe in the authority, inspiration, integrity and trustworthiness of Scripture, from Genesis to Revelation.  The Bible is the written revelation of God to His people, relevant for all people in all places at all times.  It is the standard by which our lives, faith and perspectives are measured.  (II Timothy 3:16-17; II Peter 1:20-21)

 

HELL is a real place where one is eternally separated from God.  Those who have not chosen to accept Jesus as their personal Savior will spend eternity in Hell.  (Matthew 10:28)

 

TO BE SAVED one must repent of sin and confess their faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.  (Romans 10:9-10)

 

IN DIVINE HEALING:  We believe that any who are sick can receive divine healing. (James 5:14; Isaiah 53:5)

 

THE CHURCH is the community of the redeemed.  It is the flock of God, His family, His building, His bride, the body of Christ.  Entrance into the Church is through faith in Christ alone; it is He who adds us to the Church as we are saved by grace.  The mission of God’s Church is to reconcile all persons to Jesus Christ and therefore to ourselves and each other.  (John 10; Ephesians 2:21-22; 4; 5:23-32)



THREE-FOLD HOLY COMMUNION which is the foot washing, love feast, and Eucharist.  (John 13:4-7, 14-15; Matthew 26:26-27)
