What We Believe
About the Bible
We believe the 66 books of the Old and New Testaments are the complete and final revelation from God, without error in the original manuscripts, and sufficient as our only rule of faith and practice.
About God
We believe that there is one God that exists in three distinct and separate Persons (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit), each of whom is to be honored and worshiped as God.
About Jesus Christ
We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Jesus Christ is our Savior, he took on flesh, born of a virgin, sinless, crucified for our sins, resurrected from the dead, ascended to heaven, and coming back again to establish His Kingdom on earth.
About the Holy Spirit
We believe the Holy Spirit is God, convicting the world of sin causing spiritual birth, baptizing all believers into one body in Christ and comes to live inside them. The Holy Spirit is given to Christians and provides guidance in living, an understanding of the Bible, and prayerfully intercedes for them.
About Creation and the Fall of Man
We believe that man was created by God in His own image, and not the product of evolution or animal ancestry. He fell into sin by personal disobedience to the revealed will of God, and thus all men and women are sinful in nature and practice, unable to save themselves.
About Salvation
We believe that salvation from sin, death, and hell is the free gift of God’s grace to everyone who believes in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Every believer has eternal life and complete security in the finished work of Jesus Christ when He died on the cross for our sins and arose from the dead, thus guaranteeing our own resurrection and eternal life.
About Eternity
We believe in the eternal life of all believers in a new heaven and a new earth, and that upon physical death, they go immediately to be with Christ in heaven awaiting their future bodily resurrection. We believe all unbelievers will stand before the Great White Throne Judgment of God from which they will be cast into eternal fire and everlasting punishment.
About Angels
We believe that all angels, including Satan, were created by God, and that Satan, through pride and sinful ambition, rebelled against God, becoming the great adversary of God and His people. These spirit beings possess supernatural powers but are limited by the permissive will of God. Satan, as leader of evil Angels (demons) was defeated and judged at the cross of Jesus Christ, and their final destiny is everlasting punishment in the lake of fire (hell).
About Church
We believe that all believers, from the day of Pentecost in Acts 2 until the return of Jesus Christ, are members of the Church. The Church is the Body of Christ, visible evidence of Him on earth in local houses of worship where believers assemble. Christ’s followers gather for teaching, fellowship, prayer, and observance of Christ’s commands regarding Baptism and Communion. We believe in water baptism by immersion in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, and in remembering the night our Lord was with His disciples in the Upper Room by observing the Bread and the Cup as the Lord’s Supper.
About our Mission
We believe that our Lord commanded us to preach the Gospel and make disciples out of all nations, and that every believer is to be a witness for Jesus Christ, trusting in the power of the Holy Spirit, and that we are responsible to pray for, support, and send missionaries into the entire world.
