Beliefs
BIBLE: We believe that the Bible is the word of God without any error, the sole authority for life and faith. (John 17:17, Romans 15:4, 2 Timothy 3:16)
THE TRINITY: We believe that there is one living and true God, eternally existing in three persons: The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit. (Matthew 28:19, John 1:1-4, 1 John 5:7)
GOD THE FATHER: We believe in God the Father, perfect in Holiness, wisdom, power, and love. (John 3:16-17, John 4:24)
JESUS: We believe in Jesus Christ, the Father's only begotten Son, conceived by the Holy Spirit, of virgin birth. We believe in His sinless life, miracles, and teachings. We believe He is the only way to the Father, in His atoning death, resurrection, ascension into Heaven, perpetual intercession for His people, and His visible return from Heaven to Earth. (Matthew 1:18-25, John 1:1-14, 2 Corinthians 5:21, John 20:31, Romans 5:6-8)
HOLY SPIRIT: We believe that God the Holy Spirit is active in convincing unbelievers of their need for salvation and is the Comforter and Guide who lives in every believer. (John 16:7-15, 1 Corinthians 3:16)
SALVATION: We believe that salvation is a gift received through repentance toward God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. (John 1:12, Romans 3:28, Romans 6:1-22, Romans 8:1)
ASSURANCE: We believe that every person who is truly saved is eternally secure in the Lord Jesus Christ. (John 5:24, John 6:37-40, Romans 8:29-30)
BAPTISM: We believe that water baptism is an act of obedience to the command of Christ and is by immersion after salvation. (Matthew 28:19-20, Romans 6:3-5)
MAN: We believe that man is a special creation of God, made in His image, but that through the sin of the first man, Adam, mankind fell, so that all men are sinners and need salvation. (Genesis 1:26-28, Genesis 3:1-24, Romans 5:12, Romans 1:18)
ETERNITY: We believe that those persons who die with their sins forgiven through Christ immediately go to Heaven and spend eternity there;, and those persons who die in their sins without Christ spend eternity in Hell. (Revelation 20:15)
CHURCH: We believe that the church is a local body of baptized believers with the Lord Jesus Christ as the Head. (Ephesians 2:19-22, Ephesians 5:25-27, Matthew 16:16-18)
PRAYER: We believe that each believer has direct access to God through the Lord Jesus Christ. (Philippians 4:6, 1 Peter 3:12)
GOVERNMENT: We believe in separation of Church and state, but not separation of God and government. Christians are salt and light in society. (1 Timothy 2:5, Matthew 5:13-16)
