What We Believe

The Authority of the Bible

That the Bible, being divinely inspired in its entirety, is the inerrant and infallible Word of God; therefore it is the supreme authority in all matters of faith and practice

The Trinity

That there is only one living and true God, perfect in holiness, infinite in wisdom, measureless in power, eternally existing in three Persons: The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit

The Son

That Jesus Christ was born of a virgin, was sinless in His life, and made atonement for sin by His shed blood and substitutionary death and then rose bodily from the dead and ascended to the right hand of the Father

The Holy Spirit

That the Holy Spirit came to convict the world of sin, or righteousness and of judgment; to witness to the truth; and to regenerate, indwell, seal, endow, guide, teach and sanctify the believer, causing him to grow into the likeness of Christ

Sin Nature

That Man by nature and by choice is a sinner and is under the wrath of God

Reconciliation Through Christ

That God out of his love for man gave His Son so that those who by faith believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior are reconciled to God and have everlasting life

The Church

That the church, with Jesus Christ as the Head, is the living spiritual body of true believers, and is manifested in the local church

The Second Coming

That our Lord Jesus Christ is bodily coming again to the earth to claim His own people, to judge the world, to vindicate Himself, and to set all things in order

We also believe and confess the words of The Apostles’ Creed:

I believe in God the Father, Almighty,

Maker of heaven and earth;

And in Jesus Christ, His only begotten Son, our Lord;

Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost,

Born of the virgin Mary;

Suffered under Pontius Pilate,

Was crucified, dead, and buried;

He descended into hell.

The third day He arose again from the dead;

He ascended into heaven;

And sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty;

From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Ghost;

The holy catholic church; the communion of saints;

The forgiveness of sins;

The resurrection of the body;

And the life everlasting. Amen.
