WHAT WE BELIEVE
Unity
in essentials
Liberty in non-essentials
Charity/Love in all
We believe. . .that
the Bible is the verbally inspired Word of God and
without mistakes as originally given. It is the
complete revelation of His will for salvation and
the only unfailing rule of faith and practice for
the Christian life.
We believe . . . in one God, Creator of all things,
eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son and
Holy Spirit, and that these three are co-eternal and
of equal power.
We believe . . .in the deity of Jesus Christ; His
miraculous conception by the Holy Spirit; His virgin
birth; His sinless life; His substitutionary death
on a cross; His bodily resurrection; His ascension
to the right hand of the Father; and His personal,
imminent return.
We believe. . .That man was created by and for God;
that by man's disobeying God, every person incurred
spiritual death, which is separation from God, and
physical death as a consequence; and that all people
are sinners by nature and practice.
We believe . . . The Lord Jesus Christ died for our
sins and that all who trust in Him, and Him alone
are declared righteous because of His sacrificial
death and are, therefore, in the right relationship
with God.
We believe . . .In the present ministry of the Holy
Spirit indwelling all believers and thus enabling
and empowering the life and ministry of the
believer.
We believe . . .In the bodily resurrection of
everyone who has lived, the everlasting life and
eternity in heaven for those who have accepted Jesus
Christ, and the everlasting punishment of those who
have rejected God's forgiveness in His Son.
We believe . . . Baptism (immersion) and Communion
(the Lord's Supper) are the two ordinances of the
church and are outward symbols of the inward
experience of having received new life in Christ. |
