What We Believe
- That there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
- That Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of God the Father, and in His personal future return to this earth in power and glory.
- That all have sinned, and that the only means of being cleansed from sin is through the blood of Jesus Christ; that spiritual regeneration by the Holy Spirit is essential for personal salvation; that man is justified by faith in Jesus Christ apart from works.
- That the redemptive work of Jesus Christ provides healing for the whole man: spirit, soul, and body. We also remember the Lord’s death in the ordinance of the Lord’s supper–His blood purchased our salvation and His broken body purchased divine health for us.
- In the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by Whose indwelling presence the believer is enabled to live a godly life which manifests the fruit of the Spirit; that a person baptized in the Holy Spirit may speak with new tongues; and that the gifts of the Holy Spirit, as enumerated in 1 Corinthians 12-14, should be practiced and manifested in the Church today.
- In the resurrection of both the saved and the lost: the saved to everlasting life, and the lost to eternal judgment.
- In water baptism, by complete immersion, into the name of the Father, Son the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit, in the likeness of His death, burial, and resurrection, and that we should henceforth walk in newness of life.
- That the Scriptures in the Old and New Testaments are the infallible Word of God, given to men by the inspiration of God, and are our authoritative rule of faith and conduct. We stand for the whole Bible as the whole revelation of God in Christ, and that what God revealed in Christ is every true believer’s heritage.
- We believe that the God kind of love is the law of the church and that we are to live our lives under the control of that love.
- We believe in the soon return of King Jesus to planet earth.
