A Summary Of What We Believe

Bible: We believe the Bible to be the complete Word of God, that the 66 books, as originally written, comprising the Old and New Testaments, are verbally inspired by the Holy Spirit of God and were entirely free from error. - 2 Timothy 3:16

God: We believe in one God who is personal and self existent, Creator of all things, infinitely perfect in all His attributes and eternally existing in three equal persons: The Father, The Son and the Holy Spirit. -2 Corinthians 13:14

Christ: We believe in the absolute and essential deity of Jesus Christ who, in becoming a man, did not cease to be God. He eternally existed with the Father and agreed to become a man, die on the cross, and rise bodily from the grave to satisfy the demands of His Holy Father. -John 1:14 / Philippians 2:5-8

The Holy Spirit: We believe in the Holy Spirit who is God in every respect. He convicts the world of sin, indwells born again Christians, as well as seals, comforts, teaches, empowers, fills and guides all believers in all truth. -John 16:13-14 / John 14:16-17

Satan: We believe in the existence of Satan as the originator of sin and the archenemy of God. A a spirit being, he leads his demonic forces in continual attack upon the people of God and purposes of God. -1 Peter 5:8

Salvation: We believe all people are born sinful, are eternally separated from God and cannot earn their way to heaven. But salvation is provided by God, through Christ, as a free gift to all who repent of their sin and put their faith in the person and work of Christ on the cross, His death was a payment for our sin and the basis of our forgiveness and eternal life. Romans 6:23

The Church : We believe the true Church is composed of all who through faith in Christ have become children of God. The true Church is manifested in specific locations called local churches in which Christ is the head. The local church exists to glorify God through the fulfillment of the Great COmmission. -Ephesians 5:23-25 / 1 Corinthians 12:12
