We believe the Holy Bible
as the inspired Word off God, without any error, the all-sufficient authority
in matters of faith, doctrine, and Christian living.
We believe in one God, eternally existing in three Persons: the father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
We believe in the Virgin
Birth of Jesus Christ, and that He is true God and man. He died on the cross
for our sins. He rose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven where He sits
at the right hand of the Father and is now our High Priest and Advocate.
We believe that man was
created in the image of God but fell into sin and therefore are lost. Only
through regeneration by the work of the Holy Spirit can man’s salvation and
spiritual life be obtained.
We believe that eternal
salvation is the free gift of God, entirely apart from man’s works, and is
possessed by any and all who have faith in and receive Jesus Christ as their
personal Lord and Savior.
We believe in a
regenerated church membership: that is, persons old enough to understand their
need for Jesus Christ and, of their own free will, accepted Him as their
personal Lord and Savior.
We believe that baptism
is by immersion and the Lord’s Supper is a memorial to His suffering and death
on the cross. These are ordinances to be observed by the church in its present
age. They are, however, not to be regarded as means for man’s salvation.
We believe in the
personal, bodily, imminent, and glorious return of the Lord Jesus Christ and
that His Second Coming inspires believers for dynamic and zealous life and
service for Him while waiting for His return.
We believe in the bodily
resurrection off the dead, the everlasting blessedness of the saved in heaven,
and the everlasting punishment and separation from God of the unsaved in hell.
We believe in the autonomy
of the local church. The church shall manage its own affairs and shall not be
subject to any other religious body or organization.
We believe in the
infilling power of the Holy Spirit and the entire spiritual gifts as given in
the books of Acts and Corinthians.
