About Us:
God - We believe in one God, Creator of heaven and earth; Spirit, Light, Love and Truth; eternal, almighty infallible, and unchangeable, infinitely wise, just and holy, and that God eternally exists and manifests Himself to us in three persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. (Luke 3:21,22; 1 Peter 1:2; 11 Cor. 13:14 Deut. 6:4) 2. Jesus Christ - We believe in Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, the eternal Word manifested in flesh. We believe that He was conceived by the Holy Spirit, and born of the Virgin Mary, and that He is true God, and true man. We believe in His vicarious, substitutionary and redeeming death, Christ receiving in Himself the penalty of man's sin. We believe in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension and in His personal, imminent and pre-millennial return for His redeemed ones, followed by His coming in glory to judge the rebellious and to establish his millennial reign. (John 1:1,14; 1 Tim. 3:16; Luke 1:35; Col. 2:9)
The Holy Spirit - We believe in the Holy Spirit, in His personality, that He is God; and we believe that His work is to convict men of sin; to regenerate, indwell and set the believer apart to a holy life, to keep and empower the believer day by day. We believe that He is the Teacher of God's Word and the Guide for daily life. We believe the baptism of the Holy Spirit occurs once at the moment of regeneration, and thereby places the believer into into the Body of Christ, and that there is no other baptism of the spirit taught in the Bible. We believe the gifts of tongues and healing are not being distributed by the Holy Spirit to individuals today as they were in New Testament times. We do not accept the phenomena as sings of the Spirit's "baptism" or filling. (John 14:16,17; 1 Cor. 12:13)
The Bible - We believe that the whole Bible, consisting of the sixty-six books of the Old and New Testaments, is verbally inspired of God and inerrant in the original writings, and is the supreme and final authority in faith and life. (11 Tim. 3:16; 11 Peter 1:20, 21: Heb. 1:1,2)
Man - We believe that man, having been created pure and in the image of God, is by his own sin fallen from grace, and that, in consequence, all have sinned and are guilty and lost, and absolutely incapable of saving themselves by their own works, being dead in their trespasses and sins. We believe that we are saved solely by grace, through faith in the blood sacrifice, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
(Rom. 3:23; Acts 4:12; John 3:16; Eph. 2:8,9; 1 John 5:11-13)
Eternal Security of the Believer - We believe in the eternal security and everlasting blessedness of the saved, and the eternal judgment and punishment of all who reject our Lord Jesus Christ. (John 10:28; 1 John 3:1,2)
Satan - We believe in the personality of Satan, the author of the fall, and that he shall be eternally punished.
(Gen. 3:14,15; Job 1:6,7; Rev. 20:10)
Resurrection - We believe in the bodily resurrection of all men, the saved to eternal life, and the lost to judgment and everlasting punishment. (1 Cor. 15:22-24,44; John 5:28,29; Matt. 25:46; Isaiah 33:14)
The Lord's Table - We believe that Jesus Christ instituted the Lord's Supper to commemorate His death till He returns. (Matt. 26:26-30; Luke 22:19,20; 1 Cor. 11:23- 32)
Baptism - We believe that water baptism by immersion is a symbol of the believer's union with Christ in His death and in His resurrection. (Col. 2:12)
The Church - We believe that the Church of Jesus Christ is composed solely of those who have been redeemed and washed in His blood, and regenerated and sealed by the Holy Spirit, and that they are saved to serve; and that it is the responsibility and privilege of all who are saved to seek to win others to Christ, to the "uttermost part of the earth"; that they must seek to live a holy life, to separate themselves from and forsake anything that might dishonor God or cast discredit on His cause, or weaken their testimony. (11 Cor. 6:17; Rom. 12:1; 1 Cor. 6:19,20.)
