Our Beliefs
Statement of Faith
The Scriptures Inspired
The Scriptures, both the Old and New Testaments, are verbally inspired of God and are the revelation of God to man, the infallible, authoritative rule of faith and conduct.
2 Timothy 3:15-17; 1 Thessalonians 2:13; 2 Peter 1:21
The One True God
The one true God has revealed himself as the eternally self-existent "I AM," the Creator of heaven and earth and the Redeemer of mankind. He has further revealed himself as embodying the principles of relationship and association as Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
Deuteronomy 6:4; Isaiah 43:10-11; Matthew 28:19
The Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ
The Lord Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God. The Scriptures declare His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His substitutionary work on the cross, His bodily resurrection from the dead, and His exaltation to the right hand of God.
Matthew 1:23; Hebrews 7:26; Acts 2:22
The Fall of Man
Man was created good and upright; for God said, "Let us make man in our image after our likeness." However, man by voluntary transgression fell and thereby incurred not only physical death but also spiritual death, which is separation from God.
Genesis 1:26-27; Romans 5:12-19
The Salvation of Man
Man's only hope of redemption is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ the Son of God. Salvation is received through repentance toward God and faith toward the Lord Jesus Christ, by the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Ghost.
Luke 24:47; Romans 10:13-15; Ephesians 2:8; Titus 2:11
Ordinances of the Church
Baptism in Water by immersion is commanded in the Scriptures. The Lord's Supper, consisting of bread and the fruit of the vine, is the symbol expressing our sharing the divine nature of our Lord Jesus Christ — a memorial of His suffering and death, and a prophecy of His second coming.
Matthew 28:19; 1 Corinthians 11:26
The Baptism in the Holy Ghost
All believers are entitled to and should ardently expect and earnestly seek the promise of the Father, the baptism in the Holy Ghost and fire, according to the command of our Lord Jesus Christ. This was the normal experience of all in the early Christian church.
Acts 2:4; Acts 1:8
