WHAT WE BELIEVE

THE BIBLE

We affirm the Holy Bible as the inspired, infallible, inerrant word of God and the basis for our beliefs and practices. It was written by human authors under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is the supreme source of truth. Because it is inspired by God, it is truth without any mixture of error.

GOD

God is the Creator and Ruler of the universe. He has eternally existed in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal and are one God.

JESUS

Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of God. He is co-equal with the Father. Jesus Christ was born of a virgin woman, lived a sinless human life, and offered Himself as the perfect Lamb of God as a sacrifice for the sins of all men by dying on the cross. He was buried and after three days arose from the dead to demonstrate His power over death, sin, hell, and the grave. He ascended to Heaven’s glory and will return again to earth to reign as King of kings and Lord of lords.

THE HOLY SPIRIT

The Holy Spirit is equal with the Father and the Son as God. He is in the world to convict lost people of sin, righteousness, and judgment. He lives in every Christian and gives power for living, understanding spiritual truth, and guidance in doing what is right. Every believer should seek to live under his control.

MAN

Man is made in the image of God. He is the supreme object of God’s creation. Although man has tremendous potential for good, he is marred by disobedience toward God called sin. This sinfulness separates man from God.

SALVATION

Salvation is a gift from God. Man can never make up for his sin by self-improvement or good works. Only be repentance and faith in Jesus Christ as God’s only offer for forgiveness can man be saved from sin’s penalty. Eternal life with God begins the moment one receives Jesus Christ by faith.

ETERNAL SECURITY

Because God gives man eternal life through Jesus Christ, the believer is secure in that salvation for eternity. Salvation is begun and maintained by the grace and power of God, not by the self-effort of the Christian. It is the grace and power of God that gives this security.

HEAVEN AND HELL

Man was created to exist forever. He will either exist eternally separated from God by sin, or in union with God through forgiveness and salvation. To be eternally separated from God means eternal existence in a real place of eternal fire and torment called Hell. To be eternally in union with God means eternal life in a real place of eternal bliss called Heaven.

CHURCH ORDINANCES

Baptism: A person who receives Jesus Christ by personal faith, who professes him publicly at any regular worship service of the church, and who indicates a commitment to follow Christ as Lord will be received for baptism. Baptism will be by immersion, and will be administered by the pastor or whomever the church will authorize.

The Lord’s Supper: Those who sit at the Lord’s table are to turn their eyes of hope to Christ’s coming again, and are to open their hearts to fellowship with His Spirit. It is a commemoration of Christ’s work of salvation, a meditation of the believer’s current condition, and anticipation of Christ’s return.
