We Believe
About The Bible
We believe all Scripture, both Old and New Testaments, was given by inspiration of God as the writers were moved by the Holy Spirit to write the very words of God, and that these Scriptures are the only rule of faith and practice. (2 Timothy 3:16, 2 Peter 1:20-21)
About The Trinity
We believe in the one true God who has revealed Himself as existing in three persons; Father, Son and Holy Spirit; distinguishable but indivisible. (Matthew 28:19, Luke 3:21-22)
About Salvation
We believe in the salvation of sinners by grace through repentance and faith in the perfect and sufficient work of Christ upon the cross by which we obtain the remission of sins through His shed blood. (Ephesians 2:8-9, Hebrews 9:12-14, Romans 5:11)
About Water Baptism
We believe that water baptism is the obedient response to the command of the Lord. (Matthew 28:19, Acts 2:38, Acts 19:1-6)
About Original Sin
We believe God originally created the human race in His image, until sin entered by disobedience and rebellion and left humanity totally incapable of saving itself. (Romans 5:12, Genesis 1:27)
About The Messiah
We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, very God and very man. (Luke 1:26-35, John 1:1,14,18, Isaiah 7:14, Isaiah 9:6)
About The Resurrection
We believe Christ our Savior died for our sins, was buried and rose again the third day according to the Scriptures and appeared to His disciples. (1 Corinthians 15:1-8, Romans 4:25)
About The Ascension
We believe in the bodily ascension of Jesus to heaven, His exaltation as Lord to the right hand of the Father, and His literal, physical return the second time for the Church. (John 14:2-3, 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18)
About The Holy Spirit
We believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit, the promise of the Father for the empowering of the Christian and its accompanying gifts and fruits. (Acts 2:1-4, Acts 8:14-17, 10:44-46, Galatians 3:14)
About Five-Fold Gifting
We believe the church is the body of Christ and that Christ gave to the church apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers. (Ephesians 4:11-13)
About Eternal Life
We believe in the resurrection of the dead, eternal judgment, and life everlasting. (John 3:16, 5:24-27, Mark 9:43-48, 2 Thessalonians 1:9, Revelation 20:11-15)
