What We Believe

• We Believe in one God, revealed as the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We know that He loves you very much, more than you could ever comprehend.

• We Believe that our Lord Jesus Christ was begotten, not created, truly God, truly man. He was born of the virgin Mary, lived a sinless life, died a vicarious and atoning death for the sins of the world, resurrected bodily for our justification and now reigns in glory until all things are put under His feet.

• We Believe in the absolute inspiration of the Holy Scriptures, given by the Holy Spirit without error, as He moved upon holy men of old.

• We Believe in the priesthood of the believer – that is to say that all people born of God have equal access to the Lord.

• We Believe that those who are called by the name of Christ should depart from iniquity. Understanding that salvation from the penalty of sin only begins the process of redemption, we acknowledge that one work of the Holy Spirit is to create in us the character of Christ.

• We Believe that the callings of apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers are functional within the body of Christ until the Lord’s return. Furthermore, these ministries are gifts to the church for the purpose of equipping the saints for the work of ministry, that the body of Christ be edified.

• We Believe that all of God’s people are to be buried with Christ in the waters of baptism, subsequent to repentance and faith in God. This rite is scripturally administered in the name of Jesus Christ.

• We Believe spiritual gifts will be manifest in the church with balance and guidance from the local church ministry. God is not the author of confusion.

• We Believe the identity of the body of Christ on the earth is primarily perceived through the local church. While encouraging the voluntary association of local churches, and recognizing the need of consensus on the matters of fundamental doctrine and conduct, we strongly confess the local church to be sovereign and autonomous.

• We Believe that the baptism of the Holy Spirit is a promise to all believers. Its endowment of power is given for sanctification, to lead and guide us to all truth, to make all believers a witness of the resurrection of Christ, and to live a victorious Christian life.

• We Believe that justification is by grace through faith in our Lord’s sacrifice on Calvary.

• We Believe in the literal second coming of our Lord, the literal rule of Christ upon the earth, the resurrection of the regenerate to eternal life and the unregenerate to eternal damnation and the ultimate victory of the eternal kingdom of God.

These beliefs are not hidden in obscure passages of the Bible. These beliefs are what the entire message of the Bible is all about.
