What We Believe
One God who is Father, Son, and Holy
Spirit
We believe
in one only true and living God, the Creator and Sustainer
of all things, who is infinite, eternal, unchanging, and is
revealed too us as the Father, the Head of the Trinity, into
whose hands the Kingdom shall finally be given up.
We believe in God, the Son, who is the promised
Messiah of the Old Testament, who was born of a virgin,
conceived by the Holy Spirit, given to reveal God the
Father; who died to redeem man, rose from the dead; who is
now seated at the right hand of the Father interceding for
all believers; and who will one day return in a visible,
personal, and bodily form as the glorified Lord of lords and
Judge of all mankind to receive His Church unto Himself at a
time the Father has reserved to Himself alone.
We believe in God, the Holy Spirit, a person sent
from God the Father to convict the world of sin, to
regenerate and cleanse believers from sin, to teach, guide,
strengthen and perfect every believer.
We believe God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy
Spirit, are three in one.
The
Sinful Nature of Man
We believe
that man was created in the image of God, but that being
tempted by Satan, he sinned, and since that time all men
have been born in sin. The original tempter was Satan, the
personal evil, who with his angels has been working iniquity
among the nations of the world. Sin is nonconformity to the
will of God, which leads to physical and spiritual death and
eternal separation from God in a physical Hell that will one
day deliver its inhabitants up for final judgment and
ultimately into the Lake of Fire.
Christ our Atonement
We believe
that God provided a way for our reconciliation to Him by
ransom from our sin and that the way provided is Jesus
Christ. Jesus atoned for our sins with His death on the
cross, and through His blood atonement, we become joint
heirs with Christ, thereby escaping condemnation and the
wrath of God. Christ’s atonement is applied to the believer
by the grace of God through the faith of man in the person
and finished work of Jesus Christ.
Christ our Savior
We believe
that every individual is condemned through their sins and
without Jesus Christ, salvation is impossible. We believe
for anyone to be delivered from condemnation, they must of a
free will accept the gospel of Jesus Christ as Savior. We
believe that those who do accept Him as Savior are eternally
secure. We further believe that each believer is obligated
to present the gospel to all mankind.
The
Scriptures
We believe
that the Bible is the Word of God and is the absolute
authority in determining the faith and practice of God’s
people. We affirm that the sixty-six books of the Bible are
inerrant, divinely and uniquely inspired, and are given to
mankind written as they were inspired by the Spirit of God.
These Scriptures are divinely intended for personal study
through the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
