The entire basis of our beliefs is the Bible, God's infallible written Word, the 66 books of the Old and New Testaments. We believe that it was inspired by the Holy Spirit without error (inerrant) and that it was written by men in the original manuscripts. We respect the Bible as the final authority affecting all issues and areas of our life as committed believers.
We believe:
GOD - FATHER-SON-HOLY SPIRIT
1. There is one true God, eternally existing in three persons – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit – each of whom possesses equally all the attributes of Deity and the characteristics of personality.
2. Jesus Christ is the Son of God, the living Word, who became flesh through His miraculous conception by the Holy Spirit and His birth through a virgin. Hence, He is perfect Deity and true humanity united in one person forever.
3. He lived a sinless life and voluntarily atoned for the sins of men by dying on the cross as their substitute, thus satisfying divine justice and accomplishing salvation for all who trust in Him alone.
4. He rose from the dead in the same body, though glorified, in which He lived and died.
5. He ascended bodily into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God the Father, where He, the only mediator between God and man, continually makes intercession for His own.
MAN, SIN & THE FALL
6. Man was originally created in the image of God. He sinned when he disobeyed God and was spiritually alienated from his Creator. That fall brought all mankind under divine condemnation.
7. Man's nature is then corrupted, and he is unable to please God. From then on, every man is in need of spiritual regeneration and renewal by the Holy Spirit.
SALVATION & REGENERATION
8. The salvation of man's soul and regeneration of his spirit is totally a work of God's free grace and is not through any work, in whole or in part, of human works or goodness or religious ceremony. God imputes His righteousness to those who put their faith in Christ alone for their salvation, and thereby justified them in His sight.
9. Those who accept Christ's offer of salvation through grace are born again of the Spirit are saved at that moment. This assurance is not based upon any kind of human merit, but is produced by the witness of the Holy Spirit, who confirms in the believer the testimony of God in His written word.
THE HOLY SPIRIT
10. The Holy Spirit has come into the world to reveal and glorify Christ and to apply the saving work of Christ to men. He convicts and draws sinners to Christ, imparts new life to them, continually indwells them from the moment of spiritual birth and seals them until the day of redemption. His fullness, power, and control are appropriated in the believer's life by faith.
11. Every believer is called to live in the power of the indwelling Spirit that he will not fulfill the lust of the flesh but will bear fruit to the glory of God.
MINISTRY & GROWTH
12. Jesus Christ is the Head of the Church, His Body, which is composed of all men, living and dead, who have been joined to Him through saving faith.
13. God admonishes His people to assemble together regularly for worship, for fellowship, for edification through the Scriptures and for mutual encouragement.
ETERNAL LIFE
14. At physical death, the believer enters immediately into eternal, conscious fellowship with the Lord and awaits the resurrection of his body to everlasting glory and blessing.
15. At physical death, the unbeliever enters immediately into eternal, conscious separation from the Lord and awaits the resurrection of his body to everlasting judgment and condemnation.
16. Jesus Christ will come again to the earth – personally, visibly and bodily – to consummate history and the eternal plan of God.
PURPOSE FOR THE GOSPEL
17. The Lord Jesus Christ commanded all believers to proclaim the Gospel throughout the world and to disciple men of every nation. The fulfillment of that Great Commission requires that all worldly and personal ambitions be subordinated to a total commitment to "Him who loved us and gave himself for us."
