OUR BELIEFS
- In the Bible as the divinely inspired, inerrant Word of God; the revelation of His mind and will to man; our infallible, all-sufficient guide for salvation and for the Christian life (2 Tim. 3:16-17; 2 Pet. 1:20-21).
- In one God, the Creator of all, eternally existing in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Gen. 1:1; Ps. 90:2; Matt 28:19).
- In the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, that He is true God and true man, begotten of the Holy Spirit, born of a virgin, and that He has a perfect and sinless humanity (Luke 1:35; John 1:1, 14; Phil. 2:6-7; 1 John 3:5).
- In the total depravity of man through his fall in the garden of Eden, and the absolute inability of man to save himself from eternal punishment by his own works (Gen. 3; Rom. 3:23; Eph. 2:8-9).
- In the bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust, the everlasting blessedness of the saved (Rev. 21:1-7), and the eternal conscious punishment of the unsaved (Luke 16:22-28; Rev. 20:11-15; 21:8).
- In the finished work of Christ on the Cross, through which sacrifice Christ has effected complete and eternal redemption, God setting His seal of approval on the work of Christ by raising Him from the dead, enthroning Him at His own right hand in heaven, and that He is the Head of the Church, the Lord of the individual, the High Priest over the Household of God, and the Advocate for the family of God (Eph. 1:20-23; Phil. 2:5-11; Col. 1:12-19; Heb. 10:1-25; 1 John 2:1).
- In the immediate and eternal salvation of every person who truly believes on Christ and by faith rest on His finished work as the only righteous ground on which a holy God can forgive sins (John 6:47; Rom. 10:9-13; Eph. 2:8-9).
- That all who by faith receive the Lord Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord are born again, indwelt, and baptized by the Holy Spirit into the Body of Christ, the Church, of which He is the risen and ascended Head (Rom. 8:1-17; 1 Cor. 12:13; Eph. 1:22-23; Col. 1:18).
- That the early Church met together and "continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship and in breaking of bread, and in prayers," providing a pattern for the Church today (Acts 2:42).
- In the personal, imminent, and pre-millennial coming of the Lord to the air to rapture (catch up) the Church (1 Thes. 4:13-18).
