We believe

 

We believe that all Scripture is the inspired Word of God Himself, perfect, sufficient, and of supreme, undeniable authority.

We believe in the one true, eternal God, existing in three persons (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit).

We believe in Jesus Christ, the eternal God, who through the virgin birth became true Man, lived a sinless life on earth, gave His life on the cross of Calvary as a substitutionary and God‑pleasing sacrifice, rose from the dead on the third day, ascended in a new body to heaven, and now sits at the right hand of God as our Advocate.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, who convicts people of their sins, instructs them in true faith, and brings about their regeneration. He places them into the body of Christ, seals, sanctifies, and dwells in them, calling and sending them to specific ministry.

We believe that God created man in His own image, and that man deliberately sinned against God, thereby condemning himself and his descendants to physical and spiritual death.

We believe that man cannot be saved by his own efforts, but only through faith in Jesus Christ, who died on the cross as an atonement for our sins.

We believe that the biblical local church regularly gathers together for fellowship, study of God’s Word, corporate prayer and worship, strengthening in the faith, and mutual help.

We believe that water baptism is a symbol of salvation through faith. Baptism is performed by full immersion in water.

We believe that the Lord’s Supper (breaking of bread) is a symbol of the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ, reminding us of His suffering and death, and of our forgiveness.

We believe that all true believers will be caught up to heaven and give an account of their hope before the throne of Jesus Christ, where they will receive reward according to their deeds.

We believe in eternal condemnation for unbelievers in hell, from which there is no return.
