Our Beliefs

“I believe in God the Father almighty, creator of heavens and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit…”

Bible

We believe the Bible is God’s Word to man and is without error in its original writing. God’s Word is given to us from Genesis-Revelation, no more, no less. As a result, it is the standard for what we believe and practice (II Timothy 3:16-17; II Peter 1:20).

God

We believe in one God, who is a Spirit and is Eternal, Immortal, Invisible and the Creator and Sustainer of all things (I Timothy 1:17; Duet 6:4). God is transcendent, above and beyond His creation, yet he is immanent, involved personally with his creation.

Jesus Christ

We believe Jesus Christ, second member of the Trinity, is sinless, virgin born and is fully God and fully man (John 1:1; I John 4:1-2). We believe Christ is the only way to God (John 14:6).

The Work of Christ

We believe that Christ died as a sacrifice for God and a substitute for man. His death on the cross is the only payment for man's sins and is sufficient and effective for all who believe (I Peter 3:18; II Cor. 5:21).

We believe that Christ arose from the dead both literally and physically. After His resurrection, He ascended back to the father to a position of authority (I Cor.15:12-32; Acts 2:33).

We believe that Christ is coming back again both literally and physically (I Thess. 5:1-10). When He returns, He will reward the righteous, judge the wicked and set up His kingdom (Revelation 20:1-5).

Salvation & Eternal Security

We believe that Salvation is by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone. Good works are a result of salvation not a requirement for salvation (Ephesians 2:8-9).

We believe that once a person is truly saved, they cannot lose their salvation. If a person professes to be saved but shows no fruit, they do not lose their salvation but never had it to begin with (John 10:28-30; Romans 8:30-39).

Trinity

We believe there is one God who exists in three distinct persons, yet each person is fully God (I Cor. 8:4; I Timothy 2:5; Matt. 28:19-20). Each member of the trinity is one in essence, yet distinct in person.

Holy Spirit

We believe the Holy Spirit is a person not a force, and is fully God (Acts 5:3-4). His primary role is to bring glory to Christ through His ministry to the church and world (John 15:27; 16:14; I Cor. 12).

Satan

We believe that Satan is a personal spirit being who leads a host of demons to blind men to the truth of the gospel (II Cor 4:4) and take them captive to do his will (II Timothy 2:25-26). Furthermore, he seeks to oppress Christians and render them ineffective in the commitment to and service to Christ (I Thessalonians2:17-18) He, along with his minions, will ultimately be cast into the lake of fire (Revelation 20:7-10).

Humanity

We believe that every human being is born with a corrupted nature and bears the guilt of Adam's sin (Romans 5:12-14; Eph. 2:1-3). As a result, each person is spiritually dead (Ephesians 2:1-2), under God’s wrath (John3:36) and in need of a Savior (I John 2:2).
