We believe the Bible to be the revealed Word of God, fully and verbally inspired of God. We bleieve the Scriptures to be the inerrant, infallible Word of God. We believe that God not only inspired every word, but that He has preserved them through the ages.
We believe in one God, eternal, self-existent, infinite, and immutable. We believe He has one nature, one essence, and one substance; yet He manifests Himself to man in three Persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
We believe that the church began with the calling of the twelve apostles by Jesus Christ and was empowered on the day of Pentecost. We bleieve the local church is composed of members who have been saved, and have voluntarily united together for hte purposes of worship, fellowship, and service.
We believe that Jesus Christ was begotten by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. We believe that He was 100% God and 100% man and that He lived a perfect, sinless life while on earth. We believe that Jesus willingly died on the cross for us paying for the penalty of our sins. He sacrificed His life for us in the greatest demonstration of love ever known. We believe that after He died, He rose from the grave on the third day ascending into Heaven where He continues His ministry at the right hand of God as our Advocate and High Priest. We also believe that Jesus is personally, visibly, and imminently returning to this earth to set up His kingdom.
We believe that the Holy Spirit is a part of the trinity meaning that He is God. We believe God, as The Holy Spirit convicts the world of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment; and is the Supernatural Agent in regeneration, baptizing all believers into the body of Christ, indwelling and sealing them unto the day of redemption. We believe that He is the divine Teacher who assists believers to understand the Scriptures, and that it is the privilege and duty of all the saved to be filled with the Spirit.
We believe all men were born with an inherited sin nature received from our common anccestor, Adam. we believe that becuase of his nature, man is a sinner by choice, and he is totally incapable of reforming himself or ceasing from sin by his own power. We believe the only hope of deliverance for man is a total change of mind concerning his sinful condition and inability to change it, and a turning to Jesus Christ as the only Savior. We believe that only through the substitionary sacrifice of Christ on the cross can a man be delivered from his sin. We believe that those who reject Jesus Christ as thier Savior are already condemned to an eternity in the lake of fire.
We believe that salvation is a gift from God provided by the sacrificial death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. We believe it is received through faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord, trusting His atoning sacrifice at the cross; and that there is no other means of being saved.
