Our Beliefs

We believe that there is only one true and living God existing in three persons- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Each is a distinct Person, but all of one essence and all having the same nature, perfection and attributes, and each is worthy of precisely the same worship, confidence, and obedience. 
Genesis 1:1-3, 26; Matthew 3:16,17; John 1:1,14, 10:30, 14:26, 15:26; Matthew 28:19

We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, begotten by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, shed His blood on Calvary in our place, was buried, rose again and ascended to the Father according to the Scriptures.
Luke 1:26-33, 22:20, 24:46

We believe that the Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity, God and coexistent with the Father and the Son. The Holy Spirit is the Chief Agent in the regeneration of the soul, the Chief Convictor of sin, and the Chief Comforter of the believer. Simultaneous with regeneration, the Holy Spirit baptizes the believer into the body of Christ, permanently dwells in him and seals him in salvation for all eternity. The Holy Spirit is the giver of spiritual gifts to the believer.
John 16:1-13; Acts 5:3-4; Titus 3:5; Matthew 3:11; Ephesians 1:13-14; I Corinthians 12:1-11

We believe that man is the direct creation of God- body, soul and spirit. Therefore man is not in any way a result of evolution, but is made in God’s image. The sin and fall of Adam resulted in the fall of creation and mankind both physically and spiritually.
Genesis 1:26-27; Romans 3:10, 5:12, 8:18-23

We believe that all who, in faith, receives the Lord Jesus Christ as Savior are born again by the Holy Spirit and thus become the children of God. Salvation involves redemption, regeneration, sanctification and glorification.
Ephesians 1:7; Romans 10:9-10, 5:7-11; Colossians 1:13-14, 21-22; John 17:16-22; II Corinthians 5:17; I Corinthians 6:19

We believe that salvation is not only a gift from God but is sustained by Him as well. Salvation is wholly of the Lord, apart from the works of man. The Holy Spirit permanently indwells the believer and seals him in salvation for all eternity. Therefore, the believer shall be kept by the power of God through faith.
John 3:16, 10:27-29, 14:16-17, 26; Ephesians 1:13; 2:8-9; Philippians 1:6; I Peter 1:5; Jude 24-25

We believe in the priesthood of each individual believer so that every Christian has direct, personal access to God in prayer through Jesus Christ. There is no mediator between God and man other than Jesus Christ.
I Peter 2:9, 10: Hebrews 4:14-15, 5-2

We believe literally in the visible, personal return of Jesus Christ for His church. At this time, the dead in Christ and the living believers will be translated to meet Him in the air. He will at a point after the translation visibly descend with the saints and establish His Kingdom.
Acts 1:11; I Thessalonians 4:16-18; Rev. 20:1-6

We believe that Satan was originally created as a perfect being. He rebelled against God and as a result, he became depraved along with a host of angels who fell with him. He is an adversary of God and God’s people. Satan was judged and defeated at the cross and awaits his ultimate doom at Jesus Christ’s Second Coming.
Ezekiel 28:14-19; John 10:10; I Corinthians 15:51-58

We believe that the New Testament Church is a local body of believers with Christ as their head and the Holy Spirit as their Guide. The church is to be governed and directed by Jesus’ sovereign gifts to the church in the form of set ministry men and women to equip the saints to do the work of ministry.
Matthew 28:16-20; Acts 1:6-8, 6:3; I Corinthians 12:12-14; Ephesians 1:3-6, 22-23, 4:11-16

We believe that the local church observes two ordinances: baptism and the Lord’s Supper. We believe that all who have received Christ as Savior and Lord should be baptized by immersion into water. Baptism is symbolic of Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection. The Lord’s Supper should be observed in remembrance of Him to show forth His death for our sins until He comes again.
Matthew 3:13-17, 28:18-20; I Corinthians 11:17-34
