We believe in one God – Father, Son and Holy Spirit
(Matthew 5:16, 45; 6:1,4,8,9; James 1:17 / John 1:1; 14:9 / Genesis 1:2; John 4:24; 14:16-20; 2 Peter 1:21).
We believe in God the Father Almighty, Creator of all things visible and invisible
(Genesis 1:1; Acts 17:24-28; Hebrews 11:3).
We believe in Jesus Christ, God’s one and only Son, our one and only Savior
(John 1:14; 1 John 4:9 / John 3:16; 2 Peter 3:18)
Who was born Jesus of Nazareth, both fully human and fully divine, conceived of the Holy Spirit and the virgin Mary (Matthew 21:11; John 19:19 / John 1:14; Romans 5:15-17; Colossians 2:9; 1 John 1:1 / Matthew 1:18; Luke 1:26-38)
Who suffered and was crucified under Pontius Pilate (Luke 23:1-46)
Who died and was buried, and Who rose again bodily from the dead on the third day (Luke 23:44, 24:7; John 20:24-29; 1Corintians 15:3-8).
Who ascended into Heaven and now sits at the right hand of the Father (Luke 22:69; Acts 1:1-9; Colossians 3:1), and
Who will return to earth to judge both the living and the dead (Matthew 24:36-42; John 14:1-3, Acts 1:10-11; 10:39-42; 1 Peter 4:5).
We believe in the Holy Spirit
Who is an active and operative part of the triune God (John 16:5-15; Acts 1:7-8; Romans 8:26-27), and
Who indwells every Christian (1Corinthians 3:16; 6:19; 2 Timothy 1:14).
We believe God inspired the original writings and those original writings of the Scripture were consequently without error
(Mark 12:36, John 14:26, 16:12-15; Acts 1:16; 1 Corinthians 2:12-13; 2 Timothy 3:14-16; 2 Peter 1:20-21).
We accept the Bible as the final authority for all matters of faith and practice
We believe that man was wholly created by God. (Genesis 1:27)
We believe that all men have willfully sinned against God. (Romans 3:23)
We believe that God created man to be eternal
We believe that those who accept salvation will spend eternity with God in the splendor of Heaven.
(Matthew 5:12)
We believe that there will come a day when God will judge all mankind.
(Hebrews 9:27)
SALVATION
the forgiveness of sins – peace with God – citizenship in heaven
We believe that salvation is only made available to us by God’s grace through the blood of Jesus Christ
(Matthew 26:28; Romans 5:9; Ephesians 2:8-9; 1 Peter 1:18-19; 1 John 1:7),
We believe that one receives God’s grace by putting faith in Christ, repenting of sin, confessing Christ and being baptized by immersion into Christ, but that none of these is sufficient in and of itself for the assurance of salvation
(Roman 5:1-2 / Luke 24:45-47; Acts 3;19; 17:30; 2 Peter 3:9 / Matthew 10:32; Romans 10:9; Philippians 2:11; 1 John 4:15 / Acts 2:38, Romans 6:1-7; Galatians 3:27; Colossians 2:12; 1 Peter 3:21).
We Believe that the result of receiving God’s grace is the forgiveness of our sins and the gift of the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.
THE CHURCH
The Family of God, the body of Christ, the called out ones
We believe that all believers should be a part of a local congregation of believers.
(Hebrews 10:25; 1 Corinthians 12:27)
We believe that every person is to be a servant within the local congregation.
(1 Corinthians 12:7)
We practice a weekly remembrance of the Lord’s Supper.
(Acts 20:7)
