What We Believe
WE BELIEVE in one God who is eternally
existent in three persons--Father, Son, and Holy Spirit--and
that He created everything out of nothing for His own purpose
and pleasure.
WE BELIEVE in the existence and
personality of Satan, his complete opposition to God and his
power over the unregenerate.
WE BELIEVE that the 66 books that
comprise the Bible are the plenary, verbally inspired Word of
God, inerrant and infallible in the original manuscripts, and
the guide and final authority in matter of faith and day to day
life, interpreted by the Holy Spirit to each individual
believer.
WE BELIEVE that man was created perfectly
in the image of God, and when he sinned, mankind incurred both
physical and spiritual death; thus man became eternally
separated from God and is incapable of providing redemption for
himself.
WE BELIEVE that the Lord Jesus Christ,
the eternal Son of God, became man without ceasing to be God,
having been conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of a virgin.
WE BELIEVE that the Lord Jesus Christ
lived a perfect and sinless life that fully pleased His Father;
that He gave Himself of His own free will to be the sacrifice
for the redemption of man and that He bore the judgment
required by God's holy justice against sin, thus making it
possible for God to remain just and yet at the same time to
justify those who believe in His Son Jesus Christ.
WE BELIEVE that the Lord Jesus Christ
rose bodily from the dead, never to die again, and ascended to
the right hand of the Father where, as high priest of His
Church, he mediates between God and man for those who are
repentant believers.
WE BELIEVE that those who by faith alone
and through no merit of their own receive the Lord Jesus Christ
as Savior are miraculously born again of the Holy Spirit and
become children of God and partakers of His divine nature and
eternal life.
WE BELIEVE that the Holy Spirit baptizes
all true believers into the one true Church, His Body; that He
indwells believers, bestows spiritual gifts upon them, and
empowers them for service and holy living.
WE BELIEVE that by His Word and power,
God has given us everything pertaining to life and godliness,
including not only salvation from the penalty of sin but
instruction in righteousness for present satisfaction and
victorious living to the glory of God.
WE BELIEVE that two ordinances, neither
of which is essential to salvation, are to be observed by all
believers in obedience to our Lord until His return: baptism
and the Lord's Supper.
WE BELIEVE that at death the souls of the
redeemed pass immediately into Christ's presence, to remain
there until the resurrection of the body at Christ's return for
His bride. We also believe that at death the souls of the lost
go to Hell, where they will remain until they are brought
before Christ at the Great White Throne final judgment to be
judged according to their works and cast into the Lake of Fire,
there to remain eternally.
WE BELIEVE that our Lord Jesus Christ
will one day return for His church to gather them as He
promised.
