WE BELIEVE

  • That there is one God, Almighty, Creator of all things, infinitely holy, eternally existing in three persons - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
  • That the Bible is the inspired Word of God inerrant in the original documents and of final authority in all matters of faith and practice.
  • That each member of the human race is fallen, sinful and lost, and regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential for the salvation of man. Redemption is wholly by the blood of Christ, and salvation is by grace, though faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.
  • That the Lord Jesus Christ, is fully God and fully man. He was born of a virgin and is sinlessly perfect.  His sacrifice is substitutionary and representative. He rose bodily from the dead and ascended to His Father's right hand, where He now ministers as our Great High Priest. He will come to rapture His Church and subsequently return to reign over the earth.
  • That the Holy Spirit indwells the believer who is thus empowered to live a godly life.
  • That every true child of God possesses eternal life and being justified, sanctified and sealed with the Holy Spirit, is safe and secure for all eternity
  • That the Church began with the descent of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost and is composed of all true believers in the Lord Jesus Christ. These believers are united to Him and to one another by the indwelling Spirit. The Church's call, hope and destiny are heavenly, and its chief functions are to glorify God and to witness for Christ until his return.           
  • That the Lord has called believers to fellowship together in local congregations which are autonomous in government, but exist in vital union with all other believers
  • That Christ, the risen head of the Church, is the giver of spiritual gifts to all believers. Gifted individuals such as evangelists, pastors and teachers are responsible to Him for their service and are given "for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ."
  • There are two Christian ordinances, baptism and the Lord's Supper. Baptism by immersion signifies that the believer, having died with Christ, is buried with Him in baptism and also is risen with Christ to walk in newness of life. The Lord's Supper is a memorial feast, instituted by the Lord Himself exclusively for His own.
  • That the Lord Jesus will return personally to take all believers to be with Himself forever. His coming is to be expected at any time and will be followed by the wrath of God upon unredeemed society, the restoration of Israel, and the millennial reign of Christ.                        
  • That there will be a resurrection of the saved and the lost, of the saved unto eternal life, and of the lost unto eternal and conscious judgment.
