WE BELIEVE the Scriptures are inspired by God and declare His design and plan for mankind. 2 Timothy 3:15-17, 1 Thessalonians 2:13
WE BELIEVE there is only one true God - revealed in three persons.... Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (commonly known as the Trinity). Isaiah 43:10-11, Luke 3:22
WE BELIEVE in the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ. As God’s son, Jesus was both human and divine. Acts 2:22, Philippians 2:6-11
WE BELIEVE though originally good, man willingly fell into sin - ushering evil and death, both physical and spiritual, into the world. Genesis 1:27, Romans 5:12
WE BELIEVE every person can have restored fellowship with God through ‘salvation’ (trusting Christ, through faith and repentance, to be our personal Savior). Ephesians 2:8, Titus 2:11
WE BELIEVE and practice 2 ordinances: (1) Water baptism by immersion after repenting of one’s sins and receiving Christ’s gift of salvation, and (2) Communion (the Lord’s supper) as a symbolic remembrance of Christ’s suffering and death for our salvation. Romans 6:4, Luke 22:19-20
WE BELIEVE the baptism of the Holy Spirit is a special experience that follows salvation and empowers believers for witnessing and effective service, just as it did in New Testament Times. Acts 1:8, Acts 8:14-17
WE BELIEVE the initial physical evidence of the baptism of the Holy Spirit is speaking in tongues, as experienced on the Day of Pentecost and referenced throughout Acts and the Epistles. Acts 2:4, 1 Corinthians 12:4-10
WE BELIEVE sanctification initially occurs at salvation and is not only a declaration that a believer is holy, but also a progressive lifelong process of separating from evil as believers continually draw closer to God and become more Christlike. 1 Thessalonians 5:23, Galatians 2:20
WE BELIEVE the Church has a mission to seek and save those who are lost in sin. We believe ‘the Church’ is the Body of Christ and consists of the people who, throughout time, have accepted God’s offer of redemption (regardless of religious denomination) through the sacrificial death of His son Jesus Christ. Ephesians 1:22-23, Ephesians 2:22
WE BELIEVE a divinely called and scripturally ordained leadership ministry serves the Church. The Bible teaches that each of us under leadership must commit ourselves to reach others for Christ, to worship Him with other believers, to build up or edify the body of believers - the church and to meet human need with ministries of love and compassion. Ephesians 4:11-16, 1 Corinthians 14:12
WE BELIEVE divine healing of the sick is a privilege for Christians today and is provided for in Christ’s atonement (His sacrificial death on the cross for our sins). Isaiah 53:4-5, James 5:14-16
WE BELIEVE in the blessed hope - when Jesus raptures His church prior to His return to earth (the second coming). At this future moment in time, all believers who have died will rise from their graves and will meet the Lord in the air and Christians who are alive will be caught up with them to be with the Lord forever. 1Thessalonians 4:16-17, Titus 2:13
WE BELIEVE in the millennial reign of Christ, when Jesus returns with His saints, His second coming, and begins His benevolent rule over earth for 1,000 years. This millennial reign will bring the salvation of national Israel and the establishment of universal peace. Matthew 24:30, Revelation 20:1-6
WE BELIEVE a final judgment will take place for those who have rejected Christ. They will be judged for their sin and consigned to eternal punishment in a punishing lake of fire. Matthew 25:46, Revelation 21:8
WE BELIEVE and look forward to the perfect new heavens and a new earth that Christ is preparing for all people, of all time, who have accepted Him. We will live and dwell with Him there forever following His millennial reign on Earth. ‘And so shall we forever be with the Lord.’ 2 Peter 3:13, Revelation 21:1-3
WE BELIEVE that God created marriage and that marriage is a covenant made between a man and a woman that brings them together as one. The marriage covenant requires the married parties to be faithful, loving and helpful to each other as long as they both shall live. Genesis 2:22, 24, Mark 10:31
