The Scriptures
We believe Scripture to be the verbal, plenary, inspired Word of
God. We hold the Bible, in its original writings, to be infallible
as the complete and final authority for faith and life.
The Godhead
We believe in one eternal
triune God, existing in three distinct persons: Father, Son, and
Holy Spirit. These three persons are one in being and essence having
the same attributes and perfections.
The Lord Jesus Christ
We believe that Jesus Christ is fully God, the exact image of the Father who without
ceasing to be God was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of a
virgin, lived a sinless life and died on a cross for all mankind as
the substitutionary atonement for sin. We believe that Christ bodily
arose from the grave, was seen by many witnesses, and ascended to
Heaven where He is presently seated at the right hand of God the
Father as our High Priest and Advocate.
The Holy Spirit
We believe that the
Holy Spirit convicts the world of sin, regenerates and indwells
believers, baptizes them into the Body of Christ, sets them apart,
illuminates to them the Word of God and guides them to holy living.
Man
We believe that the human
race, created pure and innocent, fell through the sin of Adam to
become totally depraved, corrupt in body soul and spirit, in need of
redemption.
Salvation
We believe that salvation
is a gift of God’s grace through faith alone in the finished work of
Jesus Christ on the cross.
Things to Come
We believe in the
imminent, visible, bodily return of Christ to earth and the bodily
resurrection of all men, the just to eternity in God’s presence and
the unjust to everlasting punishment.
