We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible,
authoritative Word of God. II Timothy 3:15-17.
We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three
persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Matthew 28:19; Ephesians 4:4-6.
We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin
birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through
His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the
Father, and in His personal return in power and glory. John 1:1-4; Matthew
1:23; Philippians 2:5-11; Hebrews 1:1-4 & 4:15; Acts 1:11 & 2:22-24; I Corinthians
15:3-4.
We believe that, for the salvation of lost and sinful man, repentance of sin
and faith in Jesus Christ results in regeneration by the Holy Spirit and that Jesus Christ
is the only way of salvation. Titus 3:4-7; Luke 24:46-47; Ephesians 2:8-9;
John 14:6; Acts 4:12.
We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit whose indwelling enables
the Christian to live a godly life. Galatians 5:16-18; Romans 8:9.
We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; the saved unto
the resurrection of eternal life and the lost unto the resurrection of damnation and
eternal punishment. Revelation 20:11-15; I Corinthians 15:51-57.
We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ and
that all true believers are members of His body, the Church. Ephesians
1:22-23; I Corinthians 12:12, 27.
We believe that the ministry of evangelism is a responsibility of both the
church and each Christian. Romans 10:9-15; Acts 1:8; Matthew 28:18-20; I
Peter 3:15.
We believe that our lives should be marked by the same
sacrificial love that motivated Jesus. He loves us with an unconditional, self-sacrificing
and unquenchable love. He calls us to aggressively forgive, to reach out beyond our
comfort and to love without limits. John 13:13-17; John 13:34; John 15:12,13;
Romans 5:8; I Corinthians 13.
