- We believe in the divine inspiration of the Scriptures
and the authority of both the Old and New Testaments.
- We believe man was created in the image of God,
and through disobedience, sinned and fell. In addition, the
human race shares in man's lost and depraved nature.
- We Believe Jesus, the eternal Son of God, took upon
Himself the form of man by means of the virgin birth. Furthermore,
the atonement for sin was made by His sacrificial
and substitutional death on the cross.
- We believe that salvation is the gift of God by grace
alone being manifested in works that are pleasing to God.
It is received by personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ
and the repentance of sin.
- We believe in the resurrection of the crucified body
of our Lord, in His ascension into heaven, and his
priestly intercession.
- We believe that the Holy Spirit is the promise of the
Father, our Comforter sent to convict the world of
sin. The Holy Spirit also places the believer in the Body of Christ,
indwells the believer, and bestows spiritual gifts to
the Church.
- We believe the baptism of the Holy Spirit, evidenced
by speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives the
utterance. It is for all believers as a definite
endowment of power for service and is subsequent to
and separate from conversion.
- We believe that the ordinances of the church by the
command of Christ are Water Baptism by immersion, in
the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Lord's
Supper (Communion).
- We believe in the eternal salvation of the believers
and the eternal damnation and punishment of the
nonbelievers.
- We believe that the consummation of all things includes
the visible, personal, and glorious return of Jesus
Christ, the "Blessed Hope" of the Church.
