We Believe

We believe the Bible to be the only inspired, inerrant, infallible, and authoritative Word of God.

We believe there is one God who eternally exists in three persons, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

We believe that Jesus Christ, the second person of the Holy Trinity, was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died a sacrificial death for the sins of the world, rose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven, and is coming again to judge the living and the dead and to establish God’s kingdom of righteousness and peace on the earth. 

We believe in the depravity of man, and without being born-again, man is incapable of meriting God’s favor.

We believe that salvation is by grace, through faith alone in the Person and finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross.

We believe in the sovereignty of God and the free will of man.

We believe that the Church exists to glorify and worship God, edify the body of Christ in love, and to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ to a lost world.

We believe in the sufficiency of the Scriptures and the Holy Spirit to supply us with all things that pertain to life and godliness.

We believe that those who, by faith alone and through no merit of their own, receive the Lord Jesus Christ as Savior are miraculously born again of the Holy Spirit and become, as children of God, partakers of His divine nature and of eternal life.

We believe that the Holy Spirit baptizes all true believers into the one true Church, His Body; that He indwells them eternally, bestows spiritual gifts upon them, and empowers them for service and holy living.

We believe that two ordinances, neither of which is essential to salvation, are to be observed in obedience to our Lord by all believers until Christ’s return: baptism and the Lord’s Supper.

We believe that at death the souls of the redeemed pass immediately into Christ’s presence, to remain there until the resurrection of the body at Christ’s return for the Church. We also believe that at death the souls of the lost go to Hell, where they remain until they are brought before Christ at the Great White Throne final judgment to be judged according to their works and cast into the Lake of Fire, there to remain eternally.

We believe in the bodily resurrection of the redeemed at the premillennial return of Christ for His Church, known as the Rapture of the Church.

We believe in the personal, bodily return of our Lord Jesus Christ to rescue Israel at Armageddon and to establish His millennial kingdom, reigning over this earth from the throne of David in Jerusalem, and that His redeemed will reign with Him in resurrected bodies for 1,000 years.
