We believe in one God revealed in three persons - the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
(Matthew 5:16 , 45; 6:1, 4, 8, 9; James 1:17 / John 1:1; 14:9 / Genesis 1:2; ; 4:24 14:16 -20; 2 Peter 1:2 )
We believe in God the Father Almighty, Creator of all things visible and invisible.
(Genesis 1:1; Acts 17:24-28; Hebrews 11:3)
We believe in Jesus Christ, God’s one and only Son, our one and only Savior,
(John 1:14; 1 John 4:9 / John 3:16; 2 Peter 3:18)
Who was born Jesus of Nazareth, both fully human and fully divine, conceived of the Holy Spirit and
the virgin Mary,
(Matthew 21:11; John 19:19 / John 1:14; Romans 5:15-17; Colossians 2:9; 1 John 1:1 / Matthew 1:18; Luke 1:26-38)
Who suffered and was crucified under Pontius Pilate,
(Luke 23:1-46)
Who died and was buried, and Who rose again bodily from the dead on the third day,
(Luke 23:44 - 24:8; John 20:24-29; 1 Corinthians 15:3-8)
Who ascended into Heaven and now sits at the right hand of the Father, and
(Luke 22:69; Acts 1:1-9; Colossians 3:1)
Who will return to earth to judge both the living and the dead.
(Matthew 24:36-42; John 14:1-3; Acts 1:10 -11; 10:39 -42; 1 Peter 4:5)
We believe in the Holy Spirit, Who is an active and operative part of the triune God, and
(John 16:5-15; Acts 1:7-8; Romans 8:26 -27)
Who indwells every Christian.
(1 Corinthians 3:16 ; 6:19 ; 2 Timothy 1:14)
We believe in the Bible and God’s Holy Word, Scripture. We believe God inspired the original
writings of the Scripture and those writings were consequently without error.
(Mark 12:36 ; John 14:26 ; 16:12 -15; Acts 1:16; 1 Corinthians 2:12-13; 2 Timothy 3:14-16; 2 Peter 1:20-21)
We accept the Bible as the final authority for all matters of faith and practice.
(Isaiah 40:8; Matthew 5:18 ; 24:35; Romans 15:4; Hebrews 4:12)
We believe the Bible teaches that man, created by God, willfully sinned against God and is consequently lost
and without hope apart from Jesus Christ.
(Acts 4:12; Romans 3:23)
We believe the Bible teaches that salvation and the forgiveness of sins is achieved only by grace through the blood of Jesus Christ. (Matthew 26:28; Romans 5:9; Ephesians 2:8-9; 1 Peter 1:18-19; 1 John 1:7)
We believe the Bible teaches that one receives God’s grace by putting faith in Christ, repenting of sin,
confessing Christ as Lord, and being immersed into Christ.
(Romans 5:1-2 / Luke 24:45-47; Acts 3:19 ; 17:30 ; 2 Peter 3:9 / Matthew 10:32 ; Romans 10:9; Philippians 2:11 ; 1 John 4:15 / Acts 2:38 ;
Romans 6:1-7; Galatians 3:27 ; Colossians 2:12 ; 1 Peter 3:21)
We believe in the Church of Jesus Christ, founded on the Day of Pentecost and consisting of all Christians everywhere. (Matthew 16:13-18; Acts 2:14-47)
We believe the Bible teaches that the Elders are to exercise authority over the local congregation.
(Acts 20:28; Philippians 1:1; 1 Timothy 3:1-7; Titus 1:5-9; 1 Peter 5:1-4)
HOW WE HANDLE OUR BELIEFS
- Where the Bible speaks, we speak; where the Bible is silent, we are silent.
- In essentials, unity; in opinions, liberty; and in all things, love.
- We are not the only Christians, but we are Christians only.
- No creed but Christ.
