- WHAT WE BELIEVE - (Our Statement of Faith) THE WORD OF GOD - We believe that the Bible is the Word of God, fully inspired and without error in the original manuscripts, written under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, and that the Bible is the only authority in all matters of faith and conduct. THE TRINITY - We believe that there is one living true God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. GOD THE FATHER - We believe in God, the Father, an infinite, personal spirit, perfect in holiness, wisdom, power and love. We believe that He concerns Himself mercifully in the affairs of men, that He hears and answers prayer, and that He saves from sin and death all who come to Him through His Son Jesus Christ. JESUS CHRIST - We believe in Jesus Christ, God's only begotten Son, conceived by the Holy Spirit. We believe in His virgin birth, sinless life, miracles and teachings. We believe in His substitutionary atoning death, bodily resurrection, ascension into heaven, perpetual intercession for His people, and personal visible return to earth. THE HOLY SPIRIT - We believe in the Holy Spirit whose present ministry is to convict the world of sin, and righteousness, and to regenerate, sanctify, and empower all who believe in Jesus Christ. We believe that the Holy Spirit indwells every believer and that He is an abiding helper, teacher and guide. SALVATION - We believe in salvation by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. We believe salvation is based upon the sovereign grace of God and was purchased by Christ on the cross, and is received by man through faith, apart from any human merit, works, or ritual. THE CHURCH - We believe in the universal church, a living spiritual body of which Christ is the head and all regenerated persons are members. We believe in the local church, consisting of a company of believers in Jesus Christ who have been immersed upon a credible confession of faith and have associated for worship, for instruction, for evangelism and for service. We believe the ordinances of the local church are believer's baptism by immersion and the Lord's supper. We also believe in the interdependence of local churches and the mutual submission of believers to each other in love. THE LAST THINGS - We believe in the personal and visible return of the Lord Jesus Christ to earth and the establishment of His kingdom. We believe in the bodily resurrection of the saved and the lost, the eternal existence of all men either in heaven or hell, in divine judgments, rewards, and punishments. |  The Good News  |  Our Ministries  |  Pastor's Corner  |  Homepage  | |  Bible Studies  |  Church Directory  |  Youth Ministry  |  Contact Us  |
