Our Beliefs

1. We believe that every word of the Holy Scriptures, both the Old Testament and New Testaments, is the inspired Word of God. (2 Peter 1:20, 21; 2 Timothy 3:16)

2. We believe in one eternal, Sovereign, Triune God, existing in three persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, equal in being, nature, power and glory. (2 Corinthians 3:14; Genesis 1:26)

3. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is God the Son, and we believe that He is sinless and became a man without ceasing to be God having been conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. (John 1:1, 2, 14; Luke 1:35)

4. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ accomplished our redemption through His death on the Cross as our substitutionary sacrifice. (1 Peter 2:24; Eph. 1:7)

5. We believe in His literal, physical resurrection from the dead and that Christ ascended to Heaven, and is now exalted at the right hand of God the Father. (1 Peter 2:24; Eph. 1:7)

6. We believe that the Holy Spirit is the third person of the Godhead and that He convicts the world of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment. (John 16:8-11)

7. We believe that man was created in the image and likeness of God, but that in Adam’s sin inherited a sinful nature, and became alienated from God. (Gen. 1:26, 27; Romans 3:23, 5:12)

8. We believe that salvation is the gift of God offered to man by grace and received through personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. (Eph. 2:8,9; John 1:12)

9. We believe that all the redeemed, once saved, are kept by God’s power and are thus secure in Christ forever. (John 10:27-29)

10. We believe that speaking in tongues and sign-miracles gradually ceased as the New Testament Scriptures were completed and their authority became established. (Heb. 2:3-4; 1 Cor. 13:8-10)

11. We believe that ordinances of the church are (1) the baptism of the believer by immersion in water and (2) the communion of the Lord’s Supper. (Luke 22:19,20; Acts 8:37-39)
