Our Beliefs

A Doctrinal Statement Summary
  • We believe the Bible to be the inspired, inerrant word of God and is the only infallible rule of faith and practice. (II Tim 3:16-17)

  • We believe that there is one true God (Dt 6:4), eternally existing in three persons…The Father (Jn 4:24), Son (Jn 1:1,14), and Holy Spirit. (Acts 5:3,4)

  • We believe that Jesus Christ was born of a virgin (Isa 7:14), that He is God incarnate, (Jn 1:1,14), and that He came to earth for the express purpose of paying the penalty for our sins (Jn 1:29), making for Himself His very own people. (Titus 2:14)

  • We believe that Christ died for our sins, was buried, and raised from the grave (I Cor 15:3,4), and was exalted to God’s right hand. (Eph 1:20)

  • We believe that all men are sinners, guilty before God, and are under His condemnation. (Rom 3:23; 6:23)

  • We believe that all who by faith, repent and receive Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord are born again of the Holy Spirit and therefore become children of God (Jn 1:12), and are eternally saved. (Jn 6:47)

  • We believe in the personal and imminent return of Jesus Christ for His church. (I Thes 4:16,17)

  • We believe in the bodily resurrection of the just and unjust, the everlasting blessedness of the saved in heaven, (Phil 3:20) and the everlasting punishment of the lost in hell. (Rev 20:15)

  • We believe that every believer is endowed with spiritual gifts for the building up of the body of Christ. (I Cor 12:4,11)

  • We believe that all believers are called to live a life of holiness apart from all worldliness and sinful practice. (Rom 12:1,2)
