What We Believe
The Holy Scriptures
We believe the Bible is God-inspired.
(I Timothy 3:16,17)
The Eternal Godhead
We believe God is triune: Father, Son and
Holy Spirit. (2 Corinthians 13:14)
The Fall of Man
We believe that man was created in the image
of God, and that man, by voluntary disobedience,
fell from perfection. (Romans 5:12)
The Plan of Salvation
We believe that while we were yet sinners Christ
died for us, signing the pardon of all that believe
on Him. (John 3:16; Romans 5:8)
Salvation Through Grace
We believe that we have no righteousness and must
come to God pleading the righteousness of Christ.
(Ephesians 2:8)
Repentance and Acceptance
We believe that upon sincere repentance, and a
whole-hearted acceptance of Christ, we are justified
before God. (1 John 1:9)
The New Birth
We believe that at conversion there is a real change
that takes place in the heart and life.
(2 Corinthians 5:17; Galatians 2:20)
Daily Christian Life
We believe that it is the will of God that we be
sanctified (set apart) daily, growing constantly in our
understanding of the faith. (Hebrews 6:1)
Baptism and the Lord’s Supper
We believe that baptism by immersion is an outward
sign of an inward work (Matthew 23:19). We believe
in the commemoration of the Lord’s Supper by the
symbolical use of bread and juice of the vine.
(1 Corinthians 11:24,25)
Baptism of the Holy Spirit
We believe that the baptism of the Holy Spirit is to
endue the believer with power, and that His
incoming is after the same manner as in the Bible
days. (Acts 2:4)
The Spirit Filled Life
We believe that it is the will of God that we walk in
the Spirit daily. (Ephesians 4:30-32)
The Gifts and Fruit of the Spirit
We believe that the Holy Spirit has gifts to bestow
upon Christians; and that we should show spiritual
fruit as evidence of a spirit-filled life.
(1 Corinthians 12:1-11; Galatians 5:2)
Moderation
We believe that the experience and daily walk of the
believer should never lead him into extremes of
fanaticism. (Philippians 4:5)
Divine Healing
We believe that divine healing is the expressed
power of Christ to heal the sick in answer to the
prayer of faith. (James 5:14-16)
The Second Coming of Christ
We believe that the Second Coming of Christ is
personal and imminent. (1Thessalonians 4:16,17)
Church Relationship
We believe it is our sacred duty to identify ourselves
with the visible Church of our Lord Jesus Christ.
(Acts 16:5; Hebrews 10:25)
Civil Government
We believe that rulers should be upheld and obeyed
at all times except in things opposed to the will of
God clearly stated in the scriptures. (Romans 13:1-5)
The Eternal Judgment
We believe that all shall stand some day before the
judgment seat of God; and there receive eternal life or
death. (2 Corinthians 5:10)
Heaven
We believe that heaven is the glorious eternal home of
born-again believers. (John 14:1-3; Revelation 7:15-17)
Hell
We believe that hell is the place of eternal torment for
all who reject Christ as the one and only Savior.
(Revelation 20:10,15)
Evangelism
We believe that soul winning is the most important
responsibility of the church. (James 5:20)
Tithes and Offerings
We believe that the method ordained of God for the
support and spread of His cause is the giving of tithes
(first fruits, most commonly the first 10% of one’s
income) and freewill offerings (above and beyond
your tithe). (Malachi 3:10; 2 Corinthians 9:7)
