Beliefs

We believe the Bible, both the Old and New Testaments, to be the complete inspiration of God, and our only rule for faith and practice. 2 Tim. 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:19-21

We believe that God exists in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Colossians 2:9

We believe in the incarnation and virgin birth of Jesus Christ and His identification as the Son of God. We believe in His substitutionary death on the cross; the atonement of sin by the shedding of His blood. We believe in the resurrection of His body from the tomb and His continuing work of intercession for Believers at the right hand of God. We believe in His power to save men eternally from sin. Matt. 1:18-25; Jn 3:16; Lk 24:1-8; Rom 8:34

We believe the Holy Spirit convicts, regenerates, indwells, imparts gifts, fills, and seals the Believer. John 16:7-11; Acts 5:32; Eph 1:13-14

We believe in the Biblical account of creation, rather than in any man-made theory, and that creation was accomplished by the direct act of God. Genesis 1:1 – 2:3; Col. 1:15-17

We believe mankind became a fallen creature, that all mankind sin, and in order to be saved, must receive the new birth by repenting of sin, confessing Jesus as the Christ, and being baptized by water immersion, and by striving to live the Christian life. Rom. 3:23; Acts 2:38

We believe in the visible and bodily return of Christ. We believe in the bodily resurrection of all the dead–the saved to Heaven and the unsaved to eternal Hell. Matt 25:31-46; John 5:28-29

We believe that the local Church is an independent, autonomous body of baptized believers carrying out its mission to win the lost and disciple believers. Acts 2:41-47

We believe in the Biblical doctrine of separation from any organization, secular or religious, denominational or inter-denominational, which would bring this body under its obligation or dictation. We also believe in the freedom of religion and that the State should not be entangled in the affairs of the church. Acts 4:15-20; 1 John 7-11
