We believe . . .
. . .
the Bible (Old and New Testaments) to be
the Divinely inspired word of God.
. . . in the One God who
exists eternally and is known in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy
Spirit.
. . .
that Jesus Christ
is truly God and truly man.
. . . He was born of a
virgin and lived a sinless life.
. . . in His atoning
death on the cross, whereby His shed blood satisfied for our sins.
. . . in His bodily
resurrection and ascension to the right hand of God and in His personal
return in power and glory.
. . . that the Holy Spirit is the agent of regeneration
whereby men and women are led to salvation.
. . . that the
indwelling power and fullness of the Holy Spirit enables us to live a
godly life in this present world.
. . . that all persons
will be held accountable by God for the way they lived their lives and
that those who are in Christ will be received into God’s glory because of
His grace.
. . . that the calling
of the Church is to bear witness to the Gospel message of Jesus Christ in
both our words and our deeds. We are called to be disciples of Christ,
obeying His commands and then, as disciples, we are sent into the world to
glorify God in every area of our lives, and to bring others to submission
to the Lordship of Christ, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and
of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. |
As a
church, we
seek to obey the Great Commission:
Go and make disciples of all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy
Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.
(Matt 28:19-20)
along with the
Great Commandment:
Love the Lord your God with all your heart
and with all your soul and with all your mind. Love your neighbor as
yourself.
(Matt 22:37&39)
We strive
to be obedient
to this commission and commandment with the assurance that Christ is with
us, even to the end of the age.

We also hold to the
classic Christian doctrines that say
we are all
“conceived in sin” and are in need of the saving grace of Jesus Christ. We
believe that Christ’s death on the cross is the atonement for our sins and
when Christ becomes Lord and Savior we receive new life in Him. We believe
that each Christian is “gifted” by the Holy Spirit for ministry.
