We Believe ...
That the Bible is the inspired, inerrant Word of God, provided by Him
so we may understand His plan and purpose. It is the complete
revelation of His will for salvation, and the only unfailing rule of faith
and practice for the Christian life.
In one God, Creator of all things, eternally existing in three persons:
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and that these three are co-eternal and of
equal dignity and power, and are ONE in nature and purpose.
In the deity of Jesus Christ; His miraculous conception by the Holy
Spirit; His virgin birth; His sinless life; His substitutionary death on a
cross; His bodily resurrection; His ascension to the right hand of the
Father; and His personal, imminent return.
That man was created by and for God; that by man's disobeying God,
every person incurred spiritual death, which is separation from God,
and physical death as a consequence; and that all people are sinners by
nature and practice.
The Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins and that all who believe in Him
are declared righteous because of His sacrificial death and are,
therefore, in right relationship with God. Obtaining forgiveness of sin
is by God's grace, and not by human effort.
In the present ministry of the Holy Spirit indwelling believers and
thereby enabling and empowering the life and ministry of the
believer.
Every believer should be baptized in water, in accordance with
scripture.
In the future bodily resurrection of everyone who has lived, and an
eternity of a blessed, everlasting life in the presence of God for those in
right relationship with God, and the eternal separation from God of
those who have rejected God's forgiveness in His Son.
