As Christian Believers and Followers of
Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord

 
    We believe that "all Scripture" is given by inspiration of God, by which we understand that the whole Bible is inspired in the sense that holy men of God "were moved by the Holy Spirit" to write the very words of Scripture. (II Tim. 3:16; II Pet.1:21).
     We believe that the Godhead eternally exists in three persons - the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit - and that these three are one God, having precisely the same nature, attributes, and perfections. (John 1:14; Acts 5:3,4; Heb. 1:1-3; Rev. 1:4-6)
     We believe in the Lord Jesus Christ as true God and true man; His virgin birth, spotless humanity, vicarious death, bodily resurrection, present advocacy, and His personal, imminent, bodily, visible, and premillennial return for His Church. (John 1:1,2; Philip 2:5-8; Tit 2:11)
     We believe that man was originally created in the image and after the likeness of God, that His life now begins at conception, and that he fell through sin, resulting in his complete and universal separation from God, and his need of salvation. (Gen. 1:26; 2:17; I John. 3:8)
     We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died and shed His blood as a sacrifice for the sins of the whole world. (John 1:29; Rom. 3:25, 26; I Jn. 2:2)
     We believe that salvation is a free and everlasting gift of God, entirely apart from works; that every person is responsible to receive salvation by personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ alone; that a soul once truly saved can never be lost. (John 3:16, Rom 4:5; 5:6-9; John 6:37, 39)
     We believe that the Holy Spirit regenerates with divine life and personally indwells the believer upon his trusting Christ for salvation. (John 16:7-15, 20:22; Acts 2:38, 4:30, 8:17, 9:17, 10:44, 11:15; I Cor. 6:19; Eph. 1:13; 2:22)
     We believe in the bodily resurrection of both the saved and the unsaved. (I Cor. 15:35-58; I Thes. 4:13-18)
     We believe in the unending life of the saved with the Lord, and the unending punishment of the unsaved. (Luke 16:19-26; Jude 6,7: Rev. 20:11-15)
     We believe in the responsibility of each believer, motivated by the love of Christ and empowered by the Holy Spirit, to witness for Christ and to recognize their relationship to this world as strangers and pilgrims; further, that their primary purpose in life should be to worship God and make Christ known to the whole world. (Matt. 28:18, 19; Mark 16:15; II Cor. 5:18-20; I Pet. 2:11)
      We believe in believers' (water) baptism and the Lord's supper are the only ordinances of the church and that they are a scriptural means of testimony for the church in this age established and performed by Jesus Christ himself . (Acts 8:36-38; 10:47,48; I Cor. 11:23-26).
       We believe that the Holy Spirit that indwells the believer upon his trusting Christ for salvation is his guide, teacher, power, joy, provider of gifts-talents, communication channel with God, and that we should claim for His fullness and power to overcome daily life challenges in the physical and spiritual dominions (John 16:7-15, 14:26; Acts 1:8, 6:3, 13:52, Rom 14:17, I Cor. 6:19, 12:3; Eph. 1:13; 2:22; I Thes 1:5-6, Jude 1:20).
