What We Believe

• We believe that the Bible is God’s Word, without error, divinely inspired and that it is the supreme, final, and only authority in all matters of faith and conduct.
• We believe in one God, immutable, eternally existing in three persons (The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit), perfect in holiness, infinite in wisdom, and measureless in power.
• We believe in Jesus Christ, the eternal one and only Son of God, conceived of the Holy Spirit, of a virgin birth, who made atonement for the sins of the world by His death. He is true God and true man, the only sinless human and the only one who could be the Savior of mankind. We believe in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension, and in His visible return to earth according to His promises. He is the only mediator between God and mankind.
• We believe in the Holy Spirit, the third person of the Trinity, sent by God to convict and regenerate sinners and to indwell, seal, guide, instruct and empower believers for godly living and service.
• We believe in the Genesis account of creation that man was created in the image of God, with divine intention that many should glorify God. Man, however, by his own choice sinned and thereby incurred not only physical death but spiritual death also, bringing separation from God. Man is sinful, both by nature and by choice, and therefore is totally depraved.
• We believe that man is totally unable to save himself because of his sinful nature and his guilt in the original sin of Adam. All men, therefore, deserve eternal punishment. We further believe that God, who is rich in mercy, sent His only Son to be our Savior from the penalty of sin. Jesus Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, as our substitutionary sacrifice. All who believe in Him are justified on the basis of faith in His shed blood on the cross for the forgiveness of sin, and furthermore, are eternally saved because of the perfect, finished work of Christ and His subsequent victory over death. His resurrection.
• We believe that the universal church consists of all those who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, are redeemed through His blood, and are born again of the Holy Spirit. Christ is the head of the body, the church, which has been commissioned by Him to go into the world as a witness preaching the Gospel to all nations.
• We believe that Satan was the archangel Lucifer, who, because of pride, fell into sin and seeks to draw mankind to follow him and not the will of God. He is personal, powerful, and a reigning dignitary, the prince of the power of all evil, the spirit that works in the hearts and minds of all the unsaved and is the adversary of God and His people and is the ruler of this age. At God’s appointed time, he shall be cast into the lake of fire for eternity.
• We believe in the visible and personal return of Jesus to this earth. It is our duty, therefore, to live in readiness for His coming and, by diligence in good works, to make manifest to all mankind the reality and power of their hope in Christ.
• We believe that there shall be a bodily resurrection of the just and bodily resurrection of the unjust. For the just, a resurrection unto eternal life in heaven, for the unjust, a resurrection unto eternal damnation in hell.
