Our Beliefs
Scriptures
We believe the Scriptures, both old and new testaments, to be the inspired Word of God, without error in the original writings, the complete revelation of His will for the salvation of men and the divine and final authority for all Christian faith and life.
II Timothy 3:16; II Peter 1:21

Trinity
We believe in one God, Creator of all things, infinitely perfect and eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
I John 5:17; Matthew 3:16-17; Matthew 28:19; II Corinthians 13:14

Jesus Christ
We believe that Jesus Christ is true God and true man, having been conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He died on the cross a sacrifice for our sins according to the Scriptures. Further, He rose in bodily form from the dead, ascended into Heaven, where He is at the right hand of the Majesty on High. He now is our High Priest and Advocate.
John 1:1; Hebrews 9:24-28; I Corinthians 15:3-4

Holy Spirit
We believe that the ministry of the Holy Spirit is to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ, and during this age to convict men of sin, regenertae the believing sinner, indwell, guide, instruct and empower the believer for godly living and service.
John 14:16; John 7:26; John 16:8

Regeneration
We believe that man was created in the image of God but fell into sin and is therefore lost and only through regeneration by the Holy Spirit can salvation and spiritual life be obtained.
Genesis 1:27; Romans 5:12; John 1:12-13

Justification
We believe that the shed blood of Jesus Christ and His resurrection provide the only ground for justification and salvation for all who believe, and only as we receive Jesus Christ and are born of the Holy Spirit do we become children of God.
John 1:12; John 3:3; John 3:16

Ordinances
We believe that believer's baptism and the Lord's Supper are ordinances to be observed by the Church during the present age. The are, however, not to be regarded as means of salvation.
Matthew 28:19; I Corinthians 11:23-26

Corporate Church
We believe that the true Church is composed of all such persons who through saving faith in Jesus Christ have been regenerated by the Holy Spirit and are united together in the body Christ of which He is the Head.
I Corinthians 12:12-14

Local Membership
We believe that only those who are thus members of the true Church shall be eligible for membership in the local church.
Acts 2:47

Church Government
We believe that Jesus Christ is the Lord and Head of the Church, and that every local church has the right under Christ to decide and govern it's own affairs.
Colossians 1:18

Blessed Hope
We believe in the personal, premillennial and imminent coming of our Lord Jesus Christ; and that this "Blessed Hope" has a vital bearing on the personal life and service of the believer.
Titus 2:11-14

Eternal Life
We believe in the bodily resurrection of the dead; of the believer to everlasting blessedness and joy with the Lord; of the unbeliever to judgment and everlasting conscious punishment.
I Corinthians 15:51-54; Revelation 20:11-15
