We believe…
We believe that the Bible is the only divinely inspired Word of God, and is the absolute standard for a believer’s behavior and is the only comprehensive truth, beneficial for teaching, reproof, correction, and for training in righteousness.
We believe that there is one God, who is eternally existent in three (3) persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
We believe that God, the Father, is the creator of heaven and earth and the designer of the eternal plan of salvation. We believe that God, the Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, is the Father’s Only Begotten Son. To complete the work of Salvation, He came into the world and became flesh, having been conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of a virgin (Mary), and represents the same essence and nature of the Father, and is uniquely God and Man. He preached Good News on Earth, healed the sick, raised the dead, cast out demons, and was crucified and died on a cross for the sin of the world. He took the punishment for sin upon Himself so that we may enjoy peace. By His wounds we are healed. On the third day He rose again from the dead and ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of God the Father, and will return to judge the world.
We believe that God, the Holy Spirit, has been given to believers as an assurance of salvation and indwells every believer, empowering them to know, understand, and walk in truth and to experience a sanctified life of love and service to God, His people, and the world. The Holy Spirit also graciously grants the use of gifts to believers, as He wills, for the edification of the Church, the Body of Christ.
We believe that the Church is the Body of Christ, consisting of every born-again Christian, and is the chosen instrument of God in fulfilling the Great Commission on Earth. We believe that Mankind is a fallen creation as a result of sin and remains in a degenerate state, devoid of a personal relationship with God and can only be restored and justified through faith in Jesus Christ, Mankind’s only hope for the forgiveness of sin, sanctification, and eternal life. We believe in the imminent, glorious return of Jesus Christ to the Earth when He will judge the world, through the resurrection of both believers and unbelievers, with believers being granted the blessing of everlasting life and unbelievers being condemned to everlasting separation from God and damnation of hell.
We believe God wonderfully and immutably creates each person as male or female, and that these two distinct, complementary genders together reflect the image and nature of God (Genesis 1:27).
We believe that God created marriage to be exclusively the union of one man and one woman (Genesis 1:28, 2:24-25; Matthew 19:4-5).
