What We Believe From The Scriptures

Bible

We believe the Bible to be the final and complete Word of God

• That the 66 books of the Old and New Testament were inspired by the Spirit of God as originally written
• That the Bible is the final authority in all matters of faith and conduct · 2 Timothy 3:16

God

We believe in one God as Creator of all.  He is holy, sovereign, eternal and exists in three equal Persons as the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit

Jesus Christ

We believe in the absolute deity of our Lord Jesus Christ

• In His eternal existence with the Father in pre-incarnate glory
• In His work of creation, in His virgin birth, sinless life, substitutionary death and bodily resurrection
• In His triumphant ascension, mediatorial ministry and personal return

The Holy Spirit

We believe the Holy Spirit is the third Person of the Godhead

• Who convicts men of sin, of righteousness and of judgment
• Who regenerates, indwells, seals, sanctifies, illuminates and comforts those who believe in Jesus Christ
• Who baptizes believers at salvation into the Body of Christ and bestows upon them His gifts as He wills and fills those yielded to Him

Mankind

We believe that Adam was divinely created in the image of God

• That by choosing sin he fell from innocence 
• That all men inherited Adam's spiritual depravity and defilement
• That all men therefore are guilty before God and condemned to physical and spiritual death apart from redemption found only in the shed blood of Jesus Christ

Salvation

We believe man's salvation is by God's sovereign grace 

• That Jesus Christ suffered a voluntary, propitiatory death
• That justification with God comes by faith alone in the all-sufficient sacrifice and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ
• That those whom God has effectually called shall be divinely preserved and ultimately perfected in the image of the Lord

We believe the Bible tells men how to be saved

    ●  Romans 3:10; 3:23

    ●  Romans 6:23

    ●  Romans 10:9-11

    ●  Heaven is a literal place prepared by Jesus for all wo trust Him as Savior

    ●  Hell is a literal place prepared for the devil and those who refuse Jesus as their Savior

The Church

We believe the New Testament Church is the family of God where people love and care for each other and grow together in Jesus.
