ABOUT THE BIBLE

We believe that the Bible is the word of God, divinely inspired; that it contains no errors in the original manuscripts and is preserved by God for us; and it is authoritative for this church and each of us, for every age.

 

ABOUT GOD

We believe that God exists eternally in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit and that these three are one God. We believe God created the universe by His Power and Word. We believe that God is all-knowing, all-powerful and ever present.

 

ABOUT JESUS CHRIST

We believe Jesus Christ was sent by God, the Father, into the world to save sinners. We believe that Jesus Christ was virgin born, sinless in life and mighty in words and deeds.  We believe Jesus was both God and man, and that He was crucified for our sins, and was bodily raised from the dead.  He then ascended to His Father's side where He is head of the church and intercedes for believers.  We believe Jesus Christ is coming again personally, visibly, and bodily to reign as Lord.

 

ABOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT

We believe that the Holy Spirit is a person, is God, and has all the divine characteristics. We believe that He dwells in all believers, baptizes, and seals them at the moment of salvation.  He fills them in response of their confession of sin and surrender to Him.

  

ABOUT SALVATION

We believe that Jesus, through His death on the cross, provided salvation for all.  We believe that to receive salvation one must repent of sin and trust Jesus Christ alone. All who have received Christ will, at death, depart to be with Christ in their spirits and will receive a new body at His return, which will be like His glorious body.

 

ABOUT THE CHURCH

We believe a New Testament church is a local body of baptized believers who have agreed together to worship Jesus Christ, edify the believers, evangelize the lost, and minister to others.  We believe the church has two ordinances: baptism and the Lord's Supper. Baptism symbolizes the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and the new life we have in Him.  The Lord's Supper is a reminder of Christ's death and the anticipation of His second coming.

 

ABOUT SIN

We believe without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sins. We believe the wages of sin is death. We believe sin is a violation of what you know to be right. We believe sin is a transgression against God's commandments.
