What We Believe

With faith at our forefront, these are the pillars we stand on.

The Bible

We believe in the Scripture of the Old and New Testament as verbally inspired by God and inerrant in the original writings. We believe that they are of supreme and final authority in faith and life.

God

We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

We believe that Jesus Christ was begotten by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary and is true God and true man. We believe in the resurrection of the crucified body of our Lord, in His ascension into Heaven and in His present life there for us as High Priest and Advocate.

Man

We believe that man was created in the image of God, that he sinned, and thereby incurred not only physical death, but also spiritual death which is separation from God. We believe that all human beings are born with a sinful nature and are sinners in thought, word and deed.

Justification

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, as a representative and substitutionary sacrifice, and that all who believe in Him are justified on the grounds of His shed blood.

The Holy Spirit & Eternal Security

We believe that all who receive by faith the Lord Jesus Christ are born again of the Holy Spirit and thereby become children of God. Further, we believe in the eternal security of the believer.

Last Things

We believe in “That blessed hope:” the personal and imminent return of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. We believe in the bodily resurrection of the just and unjust, the everlasting blessedness of the saved, and the everlasting conscious punishment of the lost.
