We Believe that the Holy Scriptures of both the New and the Old Testament (The Holy Bible) are the inspired Word of God. The Holy Scriptures are inerrant, infallible and are the final authority for faith and life. All sixty-six books of the Bible are verbally inspired by the Spirit of the Lord and we hold to a literal interpretation of the Word of God.
We Believe there is one true God, the Eternal Spirit who created all things for His pleasure and according to His will. He is the Almighty and is totally sovereign over all creation. He is absolutely perfect, holy, omniscient, omnipresent, and omnipotent. He is rich in mercy, and love and by His grace and mercy He desires to have a relationship with people. He has revealed Himself as Father (in creation), Son (in redemption) and Holy Spirit (in regeneration).
We Believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He is God incarnate, the One True God manifested in flesh. He is the image of the invisible God and in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily. He was born of a virgin and is both fully man and fully God. He came into the world to save us from our sins and reconcile us to His Father. He lived as a man on this earth for 33 years, performed countless miracles, and preached and taught of the Kingdom of God. He suffered and died on a cross to pay the price for our sins and rose again on the third day. After 40 days he ascended up to Heaven. He will return again to gather his born again church and establish his Millennial Kingdom. Jesus Christ is Lord of Lords and King of Kings.
We Believe that Jesus Christ alone is the Way, the Truth and the Life and no one comes to God except through him.
We Believe salvation is a gift from God received only by those who repent of their sins and place their trust in Jesus Christ and His atoning work on the cross and resurrection. We are saved by grace thru faith in Christ and not by any works of righteousness.
We Believe that the atoning death of Jesus on the Cross of Calvary is the one and only true sacrifice and payment for the sins of humanity and only by the blood of Jesus can a person’s sins be washed away.
We Believe that all people are by nature sinners and by their sin are separated from God. As such, human beings are helpless, and apart from the mercy and grace of God have no hope. Unsaved people are living alienated from God and are dead in their sins. Only by God’s intervention and grace, through faith in Christ can we be reconciled to God.
We Believe that all those who have received Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord and repented of their sins are commanded to be water baptized in full immersion in the Name of Jesus Christ.
We Believe that all those who have received Jesus as Savior and Lord and repented of their sins are both invited and commanded to receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit with the initial evidence of speaking with other tongues.
We Believe that all Christians are commanded by God to live a holy life through the power of the Holy Spirit. God’s people are called out by God to live according to the principals and teachings of scripture and not by the changing mores of society. We are to continually grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Every child of God has been set apart by the Lord to be a holy vessel and should always be growing in sanctification.
We Believe that all the spiritual gifts of the Bible are available to God’s born again people today. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever, and His miraculous power is manifested in His believers. The Holy Spirit distributes spiritual gifts to individual believers according to his will. The Bible tells us we should earnestly seek the best gifts.
We Believe that there is eternal life in a place God has prepared for those who have accepted His offer of salvation and have been born again. True believers will live forever in the Kingdom of God with the Lord Jesus Christ, experiencing eternal joy, comfort and fulfillment. There is also a place of eternal damnation and torment for all those who have not received the gift of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ. This place is called hell.
We Believe the church is the Body of Christ on the earth. The church consists of all true born again believers in the world. The church exists in the world for the proclaiming of the Gospel. Each local Bible believing church must equip the saints of God to be living witnesses of the Gospel of the Grace of God. All true believers are united in one body over which Jesus Christ is the head. As one body we should regularly meet together and have mutual care and love for one another. It is the joy and responsibility of every Christian to regularly and faithfully attend services in the church in which they are members.
We Believe that the name of Jesus is the name above every name and that everything in creation is subject to His name. Every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. All true believers have been given authority over Satan and demons in that name.
