Our Beliefs

We believe that the Bible is God's verbally inspired revelation to man and that inspiration extends equally to all parts of both Old and NEw Testaments; that it is inerrant in the original writings and is therefore the supreme and final authority in all matters of doctrine, faith and life. - I Timothy 3:16-17

We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. - Matthew 28:19

We believe that Jesus Christ ever existed with the Father and the Holy Spirit and that in His incarnation was begotten by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, and is true God and true man. - John 1:1-19; I Timothy 3:16

We believe that God created the heavens and the earth and all thing therein, by the word of mouth, in six (6) literal days. - Genesis 1

We believe that man was created in the image of God; that he sinned and, thereby incurred not only physical death, but also spiritual death which is separated from God; and that all human beings are born with a sinful nature, are totally depraved and for those who reach the age of moral responsibility become accountable for their sins in thought, word, and deed, and that they must be born-again to be accepted of God. - Romans 5:12; Romans 3:10; 3:23; John 3:1-21

We believe that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures as a representative and substitutionary sacrifice, and that all who believe in Him are justified on the grounds of His Shed blood. We believe that He rose bodily from the dead on the third day in the same body in which He suffered and died. We also believe that our Lord ascended into Heaven; that He is now seated at the right hand of the Father and is our His Priest and Divine Advocate with the Father .We believe that by His finished work on the Cross and His unceasing ministry of intercession in Glory, that Jesus Christ has procured for every believer Eternal Salvation. - I Corinthians 15:3; Romans 5:9; I Corinthians 15:4; John 20:27; Mark 15:19; Hebrews 8:1; 7:25; I John 2:1; Hebrews 9:12; 5:9; John 3:16

We believe that salvation is a free gift of God brought to man by infinite grace and received by personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, whose blood was shed on Calvary for the forgiveness of our sins. Since salvation is a free gift of God's grace, nothing which man could do of works or righteous deeds can make any contribution to his salvation. - Ephesians 2:8-9; Titus 3:15; Isaiah 64:6; Jeremiah 17:9

We believe the Holy Spirit is a person; that He convicts the world of sin, righteousness and judgment; that He regenerates the sinner by the Word of God, baptizing them into the body of Christ; that He permanently indwells the body of each believer, sealing them unto the day of redemption; and that He enlightens, instructs, and guides every born-again person who makes himself available to His direction.

Therefore, it is the privilege and responsibility of each believer to be filled with the Spirit, who is effectual power of godly living, Christian service, and Spiritual Worship. - John 3:5-7; 14:16, 17, 26; 16:7-15; Ephesians 4:30; Titus 3:5; I Peter 1:23; I Thessalonians 5:19; I Corinthians 12:13

We believe that the true invisible Church of Jesus Christ was begun at Pentecost when the Holy Spirit descended from Heaven and indwelt the believers; that it is composed solely of born-again people who have been called out from among the Jews and Gentiles to become the Body and Bride of our Lord. - Acts 2; Romans 1:16; Acts 15:14; Ephesians 5:24; I Corinthians 12:12, 13; Mark 16:15; Acts 1:8

We believe that two ordinances are commanded for Christians today, water Baptism and the Lord's Supper.

While recognizing that water baptism has no saving merit, it is our conviction that after one is saved , Baptism is the next step in order to portray to the world the believer;'s union with CHrist in His death, burial, and resurrection. It is our conviction that the scriptural method of Baptism is immersion.

We believe that Jesus Christ instituted the Lord's Supper to commemorate His death until He comes again. We further believe that Water Baptism by immersion is observed but once, and is a sign of identification, and a testimony of newness of life, but the Lord's Supper is commemorative and is yo be observed frequently as a memorial of the broken body and the shed blood of our Lord. - Romans 6:4; Colossians 2:9-13; I Corinthians 11:23-33

We believe in the bodily resurrection of the just at the Rapture and of the unjust at the end of time. - I Thessalonians 4:16; I Corinthians 15:51-57; Revelation 20:11-15; John 5:28-29

We believe that God has commanded that no intimate sexual activity be engaged in outside of marriage between one naturally-born man and one naturally-born woman. We believe that any form of homosexuality, lesbianism, bisexuality, bestiality, incest, fornication, adultry, and pronography are sinful perversions of God's gift of sex.

We believe that God disapproves of and forbids any attempt to alter one's gender by surgery or appearance. We believe that only Scriptural marriage is the joining of one naturally-born man and one naturally-born woman.- Genesis 2:24; Genesis 19:5, 13; Genesis 26:8-9; Leviticus 18:1-30; Romans 1:26-29; I Corinthians 5:1; 6:9; I Thessalonians 4:1-8; Hebrews 13:4

We believe that God has given the church a great commision to proclaim the Gospel to all nations so that there might be a great multitude from every nation, tribe, ethnic group, and language group who believe on the Lord Jesus Christ; as ambassadors of Christ, we must use all available means to go to the foreign nations and not wait for them to come to us. - Matthew 28:19-20; Mark 16:15; Luke 24:46-48; John 20:21; Acts 1:8; II Corinthians 5:20
