Our Beliefs

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. We strive to be both hearers and doers of the Word.

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 Spirit.

The Lord Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God. The Scriptures declare that he was born of a virgin, led a sinless life on earth full of miracles, died on a cross to atone for our sins, resurrected 3 days later in victory over death, and is now seated at the right hand of the Father.

Man was created good and upright; for God said, "Let us make man in our own 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.

Salvation is received through repentance toward God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. By the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, being justified by grace through faith, man becomes an heir of God, according to the hope of eternal life.

The Bible lays out certain things to be expected in the life of any who believes in Jesus Christ. We practice baptism by immersion in water for those who believe. The ordinance of Communion (or the Lord's Supper) is vital to the life of a believer; it is the means by which we proclaim Jesus' death and resurrection until He comes again.

The Baptism in the Holy Spirit is well-attested in the Bible as an experience separate from salvation. This is a free gift from God for all believers which is NOT required for salvation. The Baptism in the Holy Spirit is an empowering gift that helps believers to share the gospel and war against the powers and principalities of the spiritual realm. This experience is testified by the supernatural sign of speaking in tongues.

The resurrection of those who have died in Christ and their rising together with those who are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord is the imminent and blessed hope of the church.

There will be a final judgment in which the wicked dead will be raised and judged according to their works. Whosoever is not found written in the Book of Life, together with the devil and his angels, the beast and the false prophet, will be consigned to the everlasting punishment in the lake which burns with fire, which is the second death.

"We, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth wherein dwells righteousness." (2 Peter 3:13)
