What We Believe

 

We believe that the Bible is the Word of God, every word inspired and inerrant in the original manuscripts and the final authority of our faith and practice.

2 Peter 1:20-21, 2 Timothy 3:16-17

 

We believe in the Triune Godhead, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit,

one in purpose and nature.

Matthew 28:18-20, 2 Corinthians 13:14

 

We believe that all mankind are sinners by nature and by choice and, apart from Jesus Christ, will be forever separated from God.

Ephesians 2:1-3, Romans 3:10-23, Romans 6:23

 

We believe that Jesus Christ, God the Son, became a man being conceived through the power of the Holy Spirit, was sinless in his life. We believe that he died on the cross for the sins of the world and that all who trust in him are declared righteous in the sight of God. We believe in his bodily resurrection, his ascension into heaven, and his visible, physical return to earth according to his promise.

Luke 1:35, 2 Corinthians 5:21, 1 Corinthians 15:3-5, 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18

 

We believe in the Holy Spirit who convicts the world of sin, regenerates the repentant heart and indwells the body of every child of God in order to

 transform us into the likeness of Jesus Christ.

 John 16:7-11, John 3:5-8, Romans 8:9, 2 Corinthians 3:17-18

 

We believe that man is saved by faith and by faith alone in the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ. We believe that no man can be saved from his sins by works or ritual. We believe that true faith, however, will always result in repentance, in a changed life,

and in good works pleasing to God.

Ephesians 2:8-10, 2 Corinthians 5:17, Titus 2:11-14

 

We believe that the devil is a personal being and the declared enemy of God and man.

Job 1:6-7, 1 Peter 5:8-9

 

We believe in the universal church, a living spiritual body of which Christ is the head and of which all regenerated people are members. We believe that the local church is a company of believers in Jesus Christ associated for evangelism and edification. We believe that the ordinances of baptism and the Lord’s Supper have been committed to the local church for perpetual observance.

1 Corinthians 12:12-13, Matthew 28:18-20, Acts 2:42

 

We believe in the eternal preservation and everlasting blessedness of the saved,

and the eternal punishment of the lost.

Matthew 25:46, Revelation 20:11-15, Revelation 21:1-22:5
