Doctrinal Statement

I. The Scriptures

We believe the Scriptures of both the Old and New Testaments are the infallible inspired Word of God. We believe that the Scriptures are without error in their original writings and they are the final authority for Christian living and faith in God.

II. The Godhead

We believe in one God, Personal, Infinite, and Holy, eternally existing in three distinct persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. We believe God created all things, that God is love, and that He guides all things.

III. God the Father

We believe that God is the eternal, sovereign Father of His only begotten Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. We believe God is the Father of all those who accept the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal Savior.

IV. God the Son

We believe that Jesus Christ was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, is the true God, and true man, lived a sinless life, performed many miracles, died a substitutionary death on the cross and shed His own blood for our sins, arose bodily from the grave, ascended into heaven as our High Priest and King. We believe in His visible, imminent, and personal return in power and glory.

V. God the Holy Spirit

We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit who regenerates, convicts of sin, indwells every believer at conversion, and sanctifies, fills, comforts, guides, teaches, and enables the believer to live a godly life, and empowers the believer for effective Christian service.

VI. Satan

We believe Satan is a fallen angel through whom sin entered into the world. We believe he is the enemy of God and all mankind, he strives to keep the unbeliever from accepting Christ, and solicits the believer to sin.

VII. Man

We believe that man was created in the image of God and by sinning has thereby incurred both physical and spiritual death. We believe man is born with a sinful nature.

VIII. Salvation

We believe all who believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, truly repent of their sin and receive Him by faith, are born again of the Holy Spirit, becoming the children of God. We believe in the resurrection of the dead, the unsaved into everlasting damnation and the saved into everlasting blessedness with Christ.

IX. The Church

We believe in both the church universal, which is composed of all believers in Jesus Christ our Lord, both living and dead, and the individual church congregation through whom God works to carry out the Great Commission.
