What We Believe

  • We believe in one true God, eternally existing in three persons – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit – equally possessing the attributes of Deity and characteristics of personality.
  • We believe Jesus Christ is God, the living Word become flesh through His miraculous conception and virgin birth. He is perfect Deity and true humanity united in one person forever.
  • We believe in the atoning death of Jesus Christ who lived a sinless life and voluntarily atoned for the sins of all men through His death on the cross as their substitute, thus satisfying divine justice and accomplishing salvation for all who trust Him. We believe in His bodily resurrection, ascension to the right hand of the Father, and personal return to consummate history and the eternal plan of God.
  • We believe the salvation of man is wholly a work of God’s grace and is not the work, in whole or in part, of human works, goodness or religious ceremony. God imputes His righteousness to those who have faith in Christ and thereby justifies them in His sight.
  • We believe the Holy Spirit has come into the world to reveal and glorify Christ, to convict and draw sinners to Christ, to impart and apply new life to believers, to continually indwell believers from the moment they are born from above, to teach and admonish them, and to seal them until the day of redemption. The power of the Holy Spirit is appropriated by faith.
  • We believe God wants His people to assemble together on a regular basis to worship, participate in ordinances, openly lead accountable, prayerful and honorable lives, edify one another through Scripture, and to mutually encourage one another.
  • We believe the Bible is the inspired and only infallible Word of God, inerrant in its original intent, and to be accepted as a believer’s guide in matters pertaining to faith, conduct and doctrine.
  • We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in Christ.
  • We believe Jesus Christ commanded us to proclaim the Gospel throughout the world and to disciple people of every nation, the fulfillment of which requires all worldly and personal ambition to be subordinated to “Him who loved us and gave Himself for us.”
  • We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost. At physical death the believer continues eternal, conscious fellowship with the Lord and awaits the resurrection of his body to everlasting glory and blessing. At physical death the unbeliever continues eternal, conscious separation from the Lord and awaits the resurrection of his body to everlasting judgment and condemnation.
