What we Believe

Statement of Faith

  • We believe the Bible to be the only inspired, true, and without error, Word of God. (2 Timothy 3:16-17)
  • We believe there is only one God who eternally exists in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. (Matthew 28:19)
  • We believe Jesus Christ is the son of God (Matthew 16:16)
  • We believe that the teachings of Jesus about the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Heaven are two diffrent kingdoms ( )
  • We believe in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His death that paid for our sins, in His resurrection from the dead, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father and in His return in power and glory. (Matthew 1:18,25; Hebrews 4:15; Hebrews 9:15-22; 1 Corinthians 15:1-8; Acts 1:9-11; Hebrews 9:27-28)
  • We believe that acceptance of Jesus Christ is the only pathway to salvation
  • We believe that the renewal of the Holy Spirit is necessary to allow sinful men and women the power to live a joyful life ( )
  • We believe in eternal life, and that through belief in Jesus Christ as the Son of God, we spend eternity with the Lord in Heaven. We believe that in rejecting Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, we receive eternal suffering in hell. (Matthew 25:31-46; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18)
  • We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ, that all believers are members of His body, the Church. (Philippians 2:1-4)
  • We believe in water baptism by way of submersion ( )
  • We believe God’s design for sexual intimacy is to be expressed only within the context of marriage, that God created man and woman to complement and complete each other. God instituted marriage between one man and one woman as the foundation of the family and the basic structure of human society. For this reason, we believe that marriage is exclusively the union of one man and one woman. (Genesis 2:24; Matthew 19:5-6; Mark 10:6-9; Romans 1:26-27; 1 Corinthians 6:9)
  • We believe that God created all human beings in His image. Therefore, we believe that human life is sacred from conception to its natural end; that we must honor the physical and spiritual needs of all people; following Christ’s example, we believe that every person should be treated with love, dignity and respect. (Psalm 139:13; Isaiah 49:1; Jeremiah 1:5; Matthew 22:37-39; Romans 12:20-21; Galatians 6:10)
