Our Beliefs
WE believe the Old and New Testaments to be the revealed,
inspired word of God.
2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:14-21
WE believe that the Godhead has revealed Himself as one God
existing in three distinct persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14; 1 John 5:8
WE believe in the creation, test and fall of man as recorded
in Genesis and man’s inability to attain to righteousness.
Romans 5:12-18
WE believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, the only Savior of mankind
conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He is very God and
very man.
Luke 1:26-35; John 1:18; Isaiah 7:14; Isaiah 9:6-7
WE believe that Christ died for our sins; was buried and
rose again the third day, which is the gospel as is stated in the scriptures.
He also personally appeared to His disciples.
1 Corinthians 15:1-4; Romans 4:25
WE believe in Jesus Christ's bodily ascension to heaven and
that he is now seated at the place of all authority at the right hand of the
Father. That the same Jesus will literally, bodily come again the second time
with and for an overcoming church to set up His kingdom rule upon the earth.
John 14:23; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; Revelation 19:11-16
WE believe that salvation of man was provided through the
cross of Calvary, that through repentance and faith in Christ’s atoning
work we can be saved.
Ephesians 2:8-9; Hebrews 9:12; Romans 5:11
WE believe that through apostasy, unbelief and neglect a
person can fall away from the living God and become shipwrecked concerning
their faith.
Hebrews 3:12; Hebrews 6:6; 1 Timothy 1:19; 2 Peter 2:20- 22
WE believe in the necessity of water baptism by immersion
at or subsequent to profession of faith in Jesus Christ as Savior. (This is
a command of Christ.)
Matthew 28:19; Acts 2:34-38
WE believe in the Baptism of the Holy Spirit as an experience
subsequent to Salvation with scriptural evidence, such as speaking in tongues
as the Spirit gives utterance.
Acts 2:1; 8:14-17; 10:44-46; 19:6
WE believe in the operation of the gifts of the Spirit as
it was manifested in the early Church.
Romans 12:6-8; Acts 4:30; James 5:14
WE believe in living a Spirit-filled life of obedience to
Gods will in thought, word and deed and in separating ones self from the world
in both values and behavior.
Ephesians 5:18; 2 Corinthians 7:1; 1 John 2:15
WE believe in the Lords Table (Communion) for all believers.
1 Corinthians 11:23-32
WE believe in taking the gospel of the kingdom to the entire
world as a witness in obedience to Christ’s command.
Matthew 28:19
WE believe in eternal life for the believer and eternal punishment
for unbelievers.
Mark 9:43-48; 2 Thessalonians 1:9; Revelations 20:10-15
WE believe in the reality and personality of Satan who is
a fallen cherub. He was once the covering angel of the very throne of God
(called Lucifer). Now he wields his deadly power to oppose Gods will and to
destroy Gods people.
Ezekiel 28:14-19; Isaiah 14:12-15; 1 Peter 5:8
WE believe that Satan’s eternal state and judgment
will be the lake of fire.
Revelations 20:10
