What We Believe
1. We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God and the final authority and guide for Christian life and faith. (1 Timothy 3:16)
2. We believe in one God, the Creator of all things, existing eternally in Father, Son and Holy Spirit. (John 1:1-4, Colossians 1:15-17)
3. We believe that Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man, conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He lived a sinless life and died on the cross as a sacrifice for our sins. He rose bodily from the dead and ascended into heaven. (Matthew 1:20-23, Matthew 20:18-19, Hebrews 4:15, 1 Corinthians 5:21)
4. We believe the Holy Spirit makes us aware of our sins and helps us see our need for faith in Jesus Christ. We believe the Holy Spirit indwells those who have received Christ by faith. (2 Corinthians 1:21-22, John 16:7-8, 13-14)
5. We believe that man was created in the image of God, but fell into sin and is therefore lost. (Romans 3:23)
6. We believe that we can receive eternal life not by our own doing but only through believeing in and receiving Jesus Christ as our personal Savior (Ephesians 2:8-9, Romans 6:23)
7. We believe water baptism and the Lord's Supper should be observed, but they are not a means of salvation. (Matthew 28:18-19, Luke 22:17-20)
8. We believe every local church has the right under Christ to decide how to govern its affairs. (Ephesians 2:19-20)
9. We believe in the premillenial coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. (1Thessalonians 4:16)
10. We believe in the bodily resurrection of the dead; of the believers to everlasting life with the Lord; of the unbeliever to judgment and eternal punishment. (1 Thessalonians 4"17, John 3:16)
