Our Beliefs
- THE BIBLE
We believe the Bible is the fully inspired Word of God and has supreme authority in faith and conduct. (II Timothy 3:16-17; II Peter 1:19-21)
- THE TRINITY
We believe there is one living and true God, eternally existing in three persons, equal in divine perfection. (Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 3:16-17; Matthew 28:19-20)
- GOD THE FATHER
We believe in God, the Father, an infinite and personal spirit. We believe that He answers prayer and saves from sin and death all who come to Him through Jesus Christ. (Deuteronomy 6:4; Genesis 1:1; I Timothy 1:17; Matthew 3:16-17)
- JESUS CHRIST
We believe in Jesus Christ, God's only begotten Son, conceived by the Holy Spirit. We believe in His atoning death, bodily resurrection, and visible return to earth. (John 1:1-2, 14; John 3:16; Hebrews 1:8; John 8:58; Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:23; I Peter 2:21; Romans 5:8)
- THE HOLY SPIRIT
We believe in the Holy Spirit who came forth from the Father and the Son. We believe that He indwells every believer in Christ. (I Corinthians 3:16; Romans 8:27; I Corinthians 2:10-11; Ephesians 4:30; John 16:5-11; Titus 3:5; I Peter 1:2)
- REGENERATION
We believe the Holy Spirit regenerates all who repent of their sins and trust Christ as Savior. (Titus 3:5; John 3:5)
- THE CHURCH
We believe the church is comprised of all those who belong to Christ and that it exists to do God's will on earth as it is done in heaven. (Acts 2:41-47; Ephesians 4:11-16)
- CHRISTIAN CONDUCT
We believe that a Christian should live for the glory of God and the well-being of others. The Christian's conduct should be blameless. (I Thessalonians 1:5-7; I Peter 1:14-16; II Peter 3:11-13)
- THE ORDINANCES
We believe that Christ has committed two ordinances to the local church: Baptism and the Lord's Supper. (Matthew 28:19-20; Romans 6:4; I Corinthians 11:23-26)
- LAST THINGS
We believe in the visible return of Jesus Christ to establish His Kingdom. We believe in the resurrection of the body, the eternal happiness of the righteous and the endless suffering of the wicked. (Acts 1:11; Matthew 25:31-46; Revelation 20:11-15)
We hold the Bible to be the source of authority on all beliefs. Our faith statement focuses on issues of primary doctrinal importance. We recognize all other issues of faith and practice as being of secondary concern. We give latitude for members to hold differing personal views on all other issues outside of the statement of faith.
