Our Beliefs
What we believe
We believe that the Bible is the verbally inspired Word of God, infallible and inerrant in the original writings. 2 Timothy 3:16, 2 Peter 1:21.
We believe there is only one Living and True God, maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible; And in Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, who was God in the beginning, (John 1:1-2, 14); and and in the Holy Ghost. The Spirit of Truth, which proceeds from the Father and Son, is equal with the Father and the Son, (1 John 5:7), and is a gift to the believer. John 14:16-17, Acts 1:8, John 15:26.
We believe in the virgin birth of Jesus Christ and that He suffered, was crucified, died, and buried, the third day, He arose again, He ascended into Heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of the Father; and His return is imminent in order to judge the quick and the dead. Matthew 1:18-25, Mark 16, Acts 2:22-24, 30-32, Luke 24, Acts 7:55-56, Ephesians 1:20-23, Hebrews 1:3-4, Acts 1:11, 2 Thessalonians 1:7-10.
We believe in the personality of Satan, adversary of God and Man. Genesis 3:1-5, 14-15, Isaiah 14:12-14, Ezekiel 28:12-15, Matthew 4:1-11, 2 Corinthians 11:14, 1 Peter 5:8.
We believe that man was created in the image of God, man sinned bringing death to all in his fall. Genesis 1:26-27, 2:7, 3:1-19, Romans 5:12 , 1 Corinthians 15:21-22.
We believe in repentance from sin, in the atonement by the substitutionary death and shed blood of Jesus Christ from the propitiation of the sins of the world. Matthew 4:17, Luke 24:27, Romans 5:6-10, 2 Corinthians 5:15, 1 Peter 1:18-23.
We believe in baptism by immersion in water. Matthew 3:13-17, John 1:29-34, Matthew 28:19, Mark 16:16, Acts 2:38.
We believe in sanctification and in the baptism, filling, and indwelling of the Holy Spirit in the believer: We believer in the operation of the gifts in the church. John 17:17-20, Ephesians 5:26, 1 Thessalonians 5:23, Hebrews 13:12, 1 Peter 3:15, Acts 2:4, 1:8, 19:1-6, 1 Corinthians 12:3-14.
We believe that the Church is the body of Christ and is composed solely of born again believers. Ephesians 1:22-23, 5:23-27, Revelation 19:7-8.
We believe the commission of Christ is still incumbent on every believer to go into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature. We also believe we are commissioned to teach and witness to the world. Matthew 28:18-20, Mark 16:15-19, Acts 8:1,4.
We look for the resurrection of the body and life everlasting. Job 19:25-26, John 11:25-26, Acts 4:2, Romans 8:11, 1 Corinthians 15:12-28, John 3:16.
We acknowledge one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God, and Father of all, who is above all, and through, and in you all. Ephesians 4:5-6
