Our Beliefs

 

1. We believe the Scriptures are infallible, inerrant and the sole and final authority for all matters of faith and conduct. (2 Timothy 3:16, 1 Corinthians 2:13)

2. We believe in the eternal Godhead who has revealed Himself as one God existing in three Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, distinguishable but not divisible. (Matthew 28:19, 2 Corinthians 13:14)

3. We believe in the creation and fall of man as recorded in Genesis and his total spiritual depravity and inability to attain to divine righteousness. (Romans 5:12, 18)

4. We believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, the Savior of men, conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, completely God and completely man. (Luke 1:26-35, John 1:14-18, Isaiah 7:14, 9:6)

5. We believe Christ died for our sins, was buried and rose again the third day, and personally appeared to His disciples. (1 Corinthians 15:1-5, Romans 4:25)

7. We believe in the salvation of sinners by grace through repentance and faith in the perfect and sufficient work of the cross of Calvary, by which we obtain remission of sins. (Ephesians 2:8-9, Hebrews 9:12, 22, Romans 5:11)

8. We believe in the necessity of water baptism by immersion in the Name of the Eternal Godhead in order to fulfill the command of the Lord Jesus Christ. (Matthew 28:19, Acts 2:34-38, 19:1-6)

9. We believe in the operation of the gifts of the Spirit as enumerated in 1 Corinthians 12-14, as manifested in the early church.

10. We believe in the Spirit-filled life, a life of separation from the world and perfecting of holiness in the fear of God as expressing the true Christian faith. (Ephesians 5:18, 2 Corinthians 6:14, 7:1)

15. We believe that there is one true universal Church, made up of genuine believers, but this one universal Church is also composed of many local Churches in given localities. These churches are under the sovereign headship of the Lord Jesus Christ, exercising autonomous government under Him, administering all its local affairs and ministry, as well as the propagation of the Gospel. (Acts 15:22, Matthew 16:18, 128:15-20)
