We Believe
WE BELIEVE
that there is one living and true God, eternally existing in three
persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, equal in power and
glory, and that this Triune God created, upholds, and governs all
things.
WE BELIEVE that the BIBLE is the only inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God.
WE BELIEVE
IN GOD THE FATHER, an infinite, personal Spirit perfect in holiness,
wisdom, power, and love, and that He concerns Himself mercifully in the
affairs of men. We believe that He hears and answers prayer, and that
He saves from sin and death all who come to Him through Jesus Christ.
WE BELIEVE
IN JESUS CHRIST, God’s only begotten Son, conceived by the Holy
Spirit. We believe in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, and in His
miracles and teaching. We believe in His substitutionary atoning
death, His bodily resurrection, and His ascension into heaven where He
sits at the right hand of the Father. We believe in His personal,
visible return to earth, and the establishment of His Kingdom.
WE BELIEVE
IN THE HOLY SPIRIT who convicts the world of sin, righteousness, and
judgment, and who regenerates, sanctifies, and empowers for ministry all
who believe in Christ. We believe the Holy Spirit indwells every
believer in Jesus Christ, and that He is an abiding Helper, Teacher, and
Guide. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, and in
the exercise of all Biblical gifts of the Spirit.
WE BELIEVE
that all PEOPLE are sinners by nature and choice, and therefore
regeneration by the Holy Spirit is essential. We believe that
repentance (turning away) from sin and acceptance of Jesus Christ as
Lord and Savior is the only way to come into relationship with God. We
believe that Jesus Christ baptizes the seeking believer with the Holy
Spirit to empower the believer for service, and that this often occurs
after salvation.
WE BELIEVE
in the resurrection of all people, both the saved and the lost; they
that are saved unto eternal life in heaven, and they that are lost unto
eternal damnation in hell.
WE BELIEVE
it is important to uphold the Scriptural practices of the early
church. Therefore, we hold to the practice of water baptism and the
regular taking of communion. We do not believe that either of these
practices is essential for salvation, but that they serve as a demonstration of our living faith in Christ.
