WHAT WE BELIEVE:

The Holy Scriptures:

We believe the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testament to be the verbally, plenary, inspired Word of God.  The Scriptures are inerrant, infallible, and God-breathed. Therefore, they are the final authority for faith and life.          (2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:20-21)

The Triune God:

We believe in one Triune God, eternally existing in three persons- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (Matt. 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14; John 14:10,26)

The Person and Work of Christ:

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, became man, without ceasing to be God, having been conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary, in order that He might reveal God and redeem sinful man.     (Isaiah 7:14; 9:6; Luke 1:35; John 1:1-2; 1:14; 2 Cor. 5:19-21; Gal. 4:4-5; Phil. 2:5-8)

Salvation:

Salvation involves the redemption of the whole man, and is offered freely to all who accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, who by His own blood obtained eternal redemption for the believer.

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ accomplished our redemption through His death on the cross as a representative, vicarious, substitutionary sacrifice; and , that our justification is made sure by His literal, physical resurrection from the dead. (Acts 2:18-36; Romans 3:24-25; 1 Peter 2:24; Eph. 1:7; 1 Peter 1:3-5)

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ ascended to Heaven, and is now exalted at the right hand of God, where, as our High Priest, He fulfills the ministry of Representative, Intercessor, and Advocate. (Acts 1:9-10; Heb. 9:24; 7:25; Romans 8:24; 1 John 2:1-2)

The Holy Spirit:

We believe that the Holy Spirit is a person who convicts the world of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment; and, that He is the Supernatural Agent in regeneration, baptizing, all believers into the body of Christ, indwelling and sealing them unto the day of redemption. (John 16:8-11; Rom. 8:9; 1 Cor. 12:12-14; 2 Cor. 3:6; Eph. 1:13-14)

The Total Depravity of Man:

We believe that man was created in the image and likeness of God, but that in Adam's sin, the human race fell, inherited a sinful nature, and became alienated from God; and, that man is totally deprived, and, of himself, utterly unable to remedy his lost condition. (Gen. 1:26-27; Rom. 3:22-23; 5:12; Eph. 2:1-3; 4:17-19)

The Way of Salvation

We believe that the clear message of salvation is "repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ (Acts 20:21)

We believe that salvation is "by grace" plus nothing minus nothing. We believe that men are justified by faith alone and are accounted righteous before God only through the merit of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (Eph. 2:8-10; John 1:12; 1 Peter 1:18-19)

We believe that all the redeemed, once saved are kept by God's power and are thus secure in Christ forever. We believe that eternal life is the present possession of every believer. (John 6:37-40; 10:27-30; Romans 8:1; 38-39; 1 Cor. 1:4-8; 1 Peter 1:4-5)
