What We Believe
A Commitment to the Gospel of Jesus Christ
Our BEliefs
We believe in one God existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The Bible is our inspired and authoritative guide, revealing God’s truth and purpose for humanity. We affirm that Jesus Christ, through His life, death, and resurrection, offers salvation to all who believe. The Holy Spirit empowers believers, guiding us in our faith. We cherish the sanctity of life, uphold the sacredness of marriage between a man and a woman, and look forward to Christ’s return and the fulfillment of His Kingdom.
The Trinity
There is one living and true God, eternally existing in three persons, and these are equal in every divine perfection, and they execute providence and redemption.
The Bible
The Bible is the word of God, fully inspired and without error in the original manuscripts. Written under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, it has supreme and only authority in all matters of faith and conduct was written by men divinely inspired and is God’s revelation of Himself to man.
Regeneration
All of mankind are sinners by imputation, nature and by choice and are therefore under condemnation. Those who repent of their sins and trust only in Jesus Christ as their Savior are regenerated by the Holy Spirit. We believe that salvation with its forgiveness of sins, its imparting of the new nature, and its hope of eternal life is only by God’s grace and that we cannot earn it or contribute to it by moral living, acts of self-sacrifice, church membership, communion, baptism or any other good work
God The Father
God the Father is an infinite, personal spirit, perfect in Holiness, wisdom, power and love. We believe that He concerns Himself mercifully in the affairs of men, that He hears and answers prayer and that He saves from sin and death all who come to Him through Jesus Christ.
God The Son
Jesus Christ is God’s only begotten Son conceived by the Holy Spirit. We believe in His virgin birth, sinless life, miracles and teaching. We believe in His substitutionary atoning death, bodily resurrection, ascension into heaven, perpetual intercession for His people and personal visible return to earth.
Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity who came forth from the Father and the Son to convict the world of sin, righteousness and judgment, and to regenerate, sanctify and empower all who believe in Jesus Christ. We believe that the Holy Spirit indwells every believer in Christ and that He is an abiding helper, teacher and guide.
Salvation
Salvation involves the redemption of the whole man and is offered freely to all who accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, who by His own blood obtained eternal redemption for the believer. There is no salvation apart from personal faith in Jesus Christ as Lord. Only the grace of God can bring man into his Holy fellowship and enable man to fulfill the creative purpose of God.
Church
We believe in the universal church; a living spiritual body of which Christ is the head and all regenerated persons are its members. We firmly believe in the local church, consisting of a company of believers in Jesus Christ baptized on a credible profession of faith and associated in worship, service and fellowship. We believe that God has laid upon the members of the local church the primary task of building up the body of Christ through the dual activities of evangelism and the edifying of those evangelized toward maturity in Christ.
The Ordinance
The Lord Jesus Christ has committed two ordinances to the local church: Baptism and the Lord’s Supper. We believe that Christian baptism is by the immersion of a believer in water in the name of the Triune God. We believe that the Lord’s Supper was instituted by Christ for commemoration of His death. It is our belief that these ordinances should be observed until the Lord returns.
Sanctity of Life
We believe that each person is a unique creation of God, and in upholding that sanctity of life, do oppose the destruction of human life because it is unwanted, imperfect or merely inconvenient, as an atrocity against all of mankind and against God. We oppose the wholesale destruction of life by abortion on demand, the direct or indirect infanticide of newborn children for reasons of mental or physical defects and the impending threat of legalized euthanasia directed toward the elderly portion of our society. Senility, infirmity, retardation, insanity and incontinence are not to be recognized as reasons for extermination and the consideration, teaching and support of these practices are inconsistent with God’s divine purpose
Marriage, Gender and Sexuality.
We believe that God wonderfully and immutably creates each person as male or female. These two distinct, complementary genders together reflect the image and nature of God. Rejection of one’s biological sex is a rejection of the image of God within that person. We believe that the term “marriage” has only one meaning: the uniting of one man and one woman in a single, exclusive union, as delineated in Scripture. We believe that God intends sexual intimacy to occur only between a man and a woman who are married to each other. We believe that God has commanded that no intimate sexual activity be engaged in outside of a marriage between a man and a woman. We believe that any form of sexual immorality (including adultery, fornication, homosexual behavior, bisexual conduct, bestiality, incest, and use of pornography) is sinful and offensive to God.
Last Things
We believe in the personal visible return of the Lord Jesus Christ to earth and the establishment of His Kingdom. We believe in the eternal blessedness of the righteous and the endless suffering of the wicked.
