Our Beliefs

THE HOLY SCRIPTURES
We believe the Bible is God-inspired (2 Timothy 3:16,17).

THE ETERNAL GODHEAD
We believe God is Triune: Father, Son and Holy Spirit (2 Corinthians 2:9).
 
THE FALL OF MAN
We believe that man was created in the image of God, but by voluntary disobedience, fell from perfection (Genesis 5:1-2, Romans 3:23).

THE PLAN OF SALVATION
We believe that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us, signing the pardon for all who believe in Him (John 3:16; Romans 5:8).
 
SALVATION THROUGH GRACE
We believe that we have no righteousness and must come to God pleading the righteousness of Christ (Ephesians 2:8).
 
REPENTANCE AND ACCEPTANCE
We believe that upon sincere repentance, and a whole-hearted acceptance of Christ, we are justified before God (I John 1:9).

THE NEW BIRTH
We believe that the change, which takes place in the heart and life at conversion, is real  (2 Corinthians 5:17; Galatians 2:20).

DAILY CHRISTIAN LIVING
We believe that it is the will of God that we daily grow in faith (Philippians 1:9-11).

BAPTISM AND THE LORD'S SUPPER
We believe that baptism by immersion is an outward sign of an inward work (Matt. 28:19). We believe in the commemoration of the Lord's Supper by the symbolic use of the bread and juice of the vine (Acts 2:38 & 41; Luke 22:19-20).

BAPTISM WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT
We believe that the Baptism with the Holy Spirit is to endue the believer with power; and that His incoming is after the same manner. (Acts 2:4 & 16-18).

THE SPIRIT-FILLED LIFE
We believe that it is the will of God that we walk in the Spirit daily (Ephesians 4:30-32; Galations 5:16 & 24-25).

THE GIFTS AND FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT
We believe that the Holy Spirit has gifts to bestow upon the Christian; and that we should show spiritual fruit as evidence of a Spirit-filled life (I Cor. 12:1-11; Galatians 5:22).

DIVINE HEALING
We believe that divine healing is the power of Christ to heal the physically sick in answer to the prayer of faith (James 5:14-16).

THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST
We believe that the second coming of Christ is personal and imminent
 (I Thess.4:16, 17; Acts 1:11).

CHURCH RELATIONSHIP
We believe it is our sacred duty to identify ourselves with the visible Body of Christ (Acts 16:5; Hebrews 10:25).

CIVIL GOVERNMENT
We believe that rulers should be upheld at all times except in things opposed to the will of God (Acts 5:29).

THE FINAL JUDGEMENT
We believe that all shall stand some day before the judgment seat of God, and there receive eternal life or death (2 Corinthians 5:9-10; Romans 14:10-12).

HEAVEN
We believe that Heaven is the glorious eternal home of born-again believers (John 14:1-3; Revelation 7:15-17).

HELL
We believe that hell is the place of eternal torment for all who reject Christ as the Savior (Revelation 20:10-15; Matthew 10:25-41).

EVANGELISM
We believe that soul winning is the most important responsibility of the Church (James 5:20; Matthew 28:19-20).

TITHES AND OFFERINGS
We believe that the method ordained of God for the support and spread of His cause is by giving of tithes and free-will offerings (Malachi 3:10; 2 Cor. 9:7).
