We believe in the inerrancy of Scripture, that the
Bible, Old and New Testaments, is the inspired, infallible Word of God.
|
| We believe believe that God the Father is the personal,
transcendent, and sovereign Creator of all things. |
| We believe that Jesus Christ is fully God and fully human, that He was
born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, provided for the atonement of our sins
by His vicarious death on the Cross, was bodily resurrected by the power of the
Holy Spirit, ascended back to the right hand of God the Father, and ever lives
to make intercession for us. |
| After He ascended to Heaven, Jesus poured out His Holy Spirit on the
believers in Jerusalem, enabling them to fulfill His command to preach the
Gospel to the entire world, an obligation shared by all believers today.
|
| We believe that all people are by nature separated from God and
responsible for their own sin, but that salvation, redemption, and forgiveness
of sin are freely offered to all by the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. When a
person repents of sin and accepts Jesus Christ as personal Savior and Lord,
trusting Him to save, that person is immediately born again and sealed by the
Holy Spirit, all his/her sins are forgiven, and that person becomes a child of
God, destined to spend eternity with the Lord. |
| We believe in the proper Scriptural exercise of all the gifts of the
Holy Spirit in the Bible, the greatest gift of all being God's love.
|
| We believe that the second coming of Jesus Christ with His saints to
rule on the earth will be personal, pre-millennial, and visible. This motivates
us to heartfelt worship, committed service, diligent study of God's Word,
regular fellowship with other Christians, and participation in both adult
baptism by immersion and in Holy Communion.
