God
| We believe in one God, maker of heaven and earth, and eternally existent as God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. |
The Bible
| We believe the Bible, composed of the 66 books of the Old and New Testaments, is God's inspired and infallible Word. It is inerrant in the original manuscripts and it is the authority for conduct, belief, and practice. |
Jesus Christ
|
We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life and in His miracles. His death on the cross was substitutionary for people and paid for the sins of the world. He rose bodily from the grave and He ascended into heaven and He will return to earth in power and glory. |
The Holy Spirit
|
We believe in the deity of the Holy Spirit, that His present work is to reveal Jesus Christ to people and to regenerate those who believe. He indwells Christians to mediate the life of Jesus Christ in them. |
Man
|
We believe people were created in the image of God. Through Adam all people obtained a sinful nature which produces sin. |
Salvation
| We believe people may be saved from the wrath of God, be forgiven of sin, be justified by the righteousness of Jesus Christ and be reconciled to God through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. This salvation is a free gift of God's grace to all believers. |
Baptism
| We believe the church was commanded by the Lord Jesus Christ to baptize those who come to faith in Him. This baptism expresses our union with the Lord's death, burial, resurrection and new life. |
Communion
| We believe the Church was commanded by the Lord Jesus Christ to remember His death until He returns by taking communion or the Lord's Supper with one another. |
The Church
|
We believe that the Church, the body of Christ, is made up of all believers of the church age, that Jesus Christ is the head of the Church and that local churches are the practical expression of the Church. The Church and local churches have the mission of making disciples according to the Great Commission. |
Final Judgments
|
We believe in final judgments. All unbelievers of all ages will be judged and damned to eternal separation from God in hell. All believers will be saved from the wrath of God, but they will give an account for their works as God's children. They will be rewarded for their works of eternal value. They will lose reward for those works of no eternal value. |
