What We Believe

The Bible

The Bible is the only inspired, inerrant, infallible, authoritative Word of God and is completely sufficient for faith and conduct

2 Timothy 3:16-17, Hebrews 4:12

​

Sin

Mankind is an inherently broken and lost being, spiritually separated from God by willfully sinning against God and unable to restore fellowship with God by any means of his own

Romans 3:23, Galatians 5:19-21, Colossians 3:5-6, James 4:17, Isiah 64:6, 1 John 1:7-9

​

God

God is the Creator and Ruler of the universe. He has eternally existed in three personalities: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal and are one God.
Genesis 1:1, 26, 27; 3:22; Psalm 90:2; Matthew 28:19; I Peter 1:2; II Corinthians 13:14

​

Jesus Christ

Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He is co-equal with the Father. Born of the Holy Spirit and Mary, a virgin, God and man at the same time, Jesus lived a sinless human life and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all men by dying on a cross. He arose from the dead after three days to demonstrate His power over sin and death. He ascended to Heaven’s glory and will return again to earth to reign as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
Matthew 1:22-23; Isaiah 9:6; John 1:1-5 & 14:10- 30; Hebrews 4:14-15; I Corinthians 15:3-4; Romans 1:3-4; Acts 1:9-11; I Timothy 6:14-15; Titus 2:13

​

Holy Spirit

At the time Salvation is received, a Believer in Christ is indwelt by the presence of God the Holy Spirit, Who works into that Believer justification, sanctification, and recreation into the image of Christ

John 14:26, Acts 4:31, Titus 3:6, 1 Corinthians 12:7, Romans 8:26

​

Salvation

Salvation is a free gift from God and can only be received by faith alone in the completed work of God the Son, Who came to earth in human flesh as revealed in the person of Jesus Christ and was born of a virgin, was baptized by John, lived a sinless and miraculous life, was crucified for sinners, was buried, and then was resurrected from the dead on the third day, and is both human and Divine

Matthew 19:25-26, Romans 8:38-39, Romans 10:9-10, Philippians 3:4-11, Hebrews 7:25

​

Water Baptism

Water baptism is the representative outward expression of an inward change for the Believer in Christ and is performed in obedience to the command and example of Our Lord Jesus Christ

Acts 2:38, 1 Peter 3:21, Luke 3:21-22, John 3:5

​

Baptism of the Holy Spirit

Baptism of the Holy Spirit is a supernatural event performed by God and is initially evidenced and further demonstrated through the operation of the gifts of the Holy Spirit

Acts 1:8, Luke 3:16, Acts 1:5, Acts 2:38, Ephesians 5:18, John 3:5, Acts 2:4

​

Healing

Divine healing of the sick is provided through the atonement of Jesus Christ, though the redemption of our physical bodies is not yet complete

Deuteronomy 7:15, Psalms 34:19, Jeremiah 33:6, James 5:14-15, 1 Peter 2:24

​

Calling

All Believers in Christ are to evangelize the lost with the Gospel of Jesus Christ

Matthew 28:18-20, Mark 16:15, Matthew 9:37-38

​

Jesus' Return

Jesus Christ will appear again, our Blessed Hope, and take up His people, both the dead and the living, to meet Him in the air and to be with Him forever. Jesus Christ will return to earth and reign victoriously for a thousand years, after which He will pronounce final judgment over those who have rejected Him and eternal blessing in a new Heaven and a new Earth for those who have received Him.

Hebrews 9:28, Matthew 24:36, Revelations 20:4, Revelations 22:12, 1 Thessalonians 5:1-3, 1 Corinthians 4:5
