THE SCRIPTURES INSPIRED

We believe the Bible is the true inspired Word of God; that all scripture is useful in teaching, rebuking, and correcting each other in righteousness. 
​
Psalm 19:7-11;  Proverbs 30:5-6;  Matthew 5:18;  John 10:34-35;  Romans 15:4;  2 Timothy 3:16-17;  2 Peter 1:19-21;  Revelation 22:18-19
​

​THE ONE TRUE GOD

We believe there is only one God. He exists is in three distinct persons; God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, each sharing in divine attributes.

​GOD THE FATHER

We believe God the Father reigns over His universe with providential care. He is all-powerful, all knowing, all loving, and all wise.

Genesis 1:1;  Psalm 139:7-10;  Isaiah 46:9;  Romans 11:33;  Ephesians 4:6;  1 Timothy 1:17;  Revelations 19:6

​GOD THE SON

We believe that Jesus Christ was begotten by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, fully God and fully man. Jesus lived a perfect and sinless life, died on the cross for the sins of mankind, and rose on the third day to be seated at the right hand of the father. We believe He will return to judge the world and complete his redemptive mission. 

Isaiah 7:14;  Matthew 1:18-25; 28:6;  John 1:1-4; 14:3; 20:27-28;  Acts 15:16;  1 Corinthians15:4;  1 Thessalonians 4:16;  Hebrew 7:25; 8:6; 12:2;  1 Peter 2:22;3:18;  1 John 2:1;  Revelation 3:21

​GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT

We believe in the indwelling and regenerative work of the Holy Spirit; that He convicts us of sin, judgement, and righteousness; that He baptizes each believer into the body of Christ upon acceptance of the Lord Jesus Christ as Savior. The Holy Spirit distributes spiritual gifts to believers as He wills for the edification of the church. 

Genesis 1:1-3;  Matthew 28:19;  John 7:39; 14:16-17; 16:8-11;  Romans 12:3-8;  1 Corinthians 12:8-13;  Ephesians 1:13-14;  2 Thessalonians 2:13
​

​CREATION

We believe in a literal Genesis account of creation, that this account is not to be taken figuratively. We believe that man was purposefully created in God’s image and likeness, and was not created through macro-evolution or an evolutionary change of species. We believe that all animal and plant life was also a direct creation from God and that they should only grow forth “after their own kind."

Genesis 1;  John 1:3;  Hebrews 11:3;  Revelation 10:6
​

​MAN'S FALL AND REDEMPTION

We believe the world and man by association, was created directly by God. For God said, "Let Us make man in our image, after our likeness." However, by free choice, man fell through transgression and the only hope of redemption is in Jesus Christ the Son of God.

Genesis 1:27; 3:6; 24;  Isaiah 53:6;  Romans 1:32; 3:10-23; 5:12-19

​SALVATION OF MAN

We believe as a result of the fall and mankind's sinfulness, all of mankind is in need of salvation from eternity in hell. Full faith and trust in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior is the only means of salvation. Salvation is given as a free gift to all who accept it, and all who believe shall spend eternity in Heaven in perfect fellowship with God.

John 1:11-12; 3:3-17; 10:28-29;  Acts 13:39;  Romans 2:4;  2 Corinthians 7:9-10;  Ephesians 2:8-10;  1 Timothy 2:5-6;  1 Peter 1:18-23;  2 Peter 1:4; 2:1;  1 John 5:11-13
​

​ORDINANCES OBSERVED

We believe in the ordinances of Baptism and The Lord's Supper are to be observed under the authority of the local church.

Matthew 3:16; 18:19-20;  John 3:23;  Acts 2:41-42; 10:42-48;  Romans 6:3-5;  Colossians 2:12;  1 Corinthians 11:23-28

​BAPTISM

We believe in the ordinance of baptism by complete immersion in water after the acceptance of Christ in accordance to scripture. Baptism is an act of obedience that serves as an outward representation of the inward commitment to the Lord. We do not believe that baptism is a means for salvation, but is merely a symbolic act of faith. Being a church ordinance, it serves as a prerequisite to church membership.

​THE LORD'S SUPPER

We believe in the ordinance of the Lord's supper, according to the example set forth by Jesus. This ordinance is to be observed in remembrance of Jesus Christ by all believers until his second coming.
​

​THE CHURCH

We believe the church exists in two forms: the Global Church as the Body of Christ, and local church as a body of like minded believers gathered together for the purpose of evangelism and edification. While both men and women are gifted for service within the church, the office of Pastor is limited to men as qualified by Scripture. Although we believe the local church may function independently, we hold that it should also function with the global body of believers for the furtherance of the gospel.

Matthew 16:15-19; 18:15-20;  Acts 2:41-42, 47; 5:11-14; 6:3-6; 13:1-3; 16:5; 20:28;  Romans 1:17;  1 Corinthians 1:2; 3:16; 5:4-5; 7:17; 9:13-14;  Ephesians 1:22-23; 2:19-22; 3:8-11, 21; 5:22-32;  Philippians 1:1;  Colossians 1:18;  1 Peter 5:1-4;  Revelation 21:2-3
​

MINISTRY AND EVANGILISM

We believe in accordance to the Great Commission that all who profess Christ as Lord and savior are called to a position of evangelism and ministry in their personal lives. The new birth of man's spirit means the birth of love towards each other. We believe it is the duty and privilege of every believer to constantly seek to win the lost to Christ.

Genesis 12:1-3;  Exodus 19:5-6;  Isaiah 6:1-8;  Matthew 9:37-38; 10:5-15; 13:18-30, 37-43; 22:9-10: 24:14; 28:18-20;  Luke 10:1-18;  John 14:11-12; 15:7-8, 16; 20:21;  Acts 1:8; 2; 8:26-40; 10:42-43;  Romans 10:13-15;  Ephesians 3:1-11;  1 Thessalonians 1:8; 2 Timothy 4:5;  Hebrews 2:1-3; 11:39; 12:2;  1 Peter 2:4-10;  Revelation 22:17
​

​THE LORD'S DAY

We believe that every day should be lived in fellowship with the Lord. However, the first day of the week is the Lord's Day. It is a Christian institution for regular observance, and it commemorates the resurrection of Christ from the dead and should include exercises of worship and spiritual devotion, both public and private.
​
Exodus 20:8-11;  Matthew 12:1-12; 28:1;  Mark 2:27-28;  Luke 24:1-3, 33-36;  John 20:1,19-28;  Acts 20:7;  Romans 14:5-10;  1 Corinthians 16:1-2;  Colossians 2:16;  Revelation 1:10
​

​COMMITMENT TO ISRAEL

We believe in accordance to Genesis 12:3 that the Jewish people and the nation of Israel are under an eternal covenant by God's promise to Abraham and his offspring.

Genesis 12:3
​

​END TIMES

We believe God will fulfill his purpose in the end times and complete his revelation to man; that the rapture of the church, tribulation, millennial kingdom, and creation of new heaven and new earth will ensue. We believe that every saved person will appear before the judgement seat to be judged according to his or her service, and that all will be resurrected, the saved to eternal life and the unsaved to everlasting death.

Matthew 25:46; John 5:28-29; 1 Corinthians 15:51-52; 2 Corinthians 5:8-10; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; 2 Thessalonians 2:1-2; Titus 2:13; 1 John 3:2; Romans 14:10; 1 Corinthians 3:11-15; 2 Corinthians 5:10; Isaiah 9:6-7; Luke 1:32; Acts 2:29-30; 2 Thessalonians 1:6-12; Revelation 20:1-6, 12-14

​SANCTITY OF HUMAN LIFE

We believe that human beings are created in God's image, and all are to be protected from the moment of conception.  As such, we believe the weak, vulnerable, handicapped, and needy are to be protected and deserve our respect and care. Parents are to demonstrate, teach, and lead their children to Biblical truth through a consistent Christian lifestyle.

Genesis 1:26; 9:6;  Psalm 51:5; 82:3-4; 139:13-16;  Jeremiah 1:5;  Luke 1:41
​

​MARRIAGE AND THE HOME

We believe marriage is a sacred relationship between one man and one woman; that marriage is God's gift to model the union between Christ and His church. We believe that both man and woman are of equal worth before God, as both are created in God's image.

Genesis 2:18-24; Deuteronomy 23:17-18; Mark 10:9; Romans 1:18-27; 1 Corinthians 6:9-11; 7:2; Ephesians 5:22-23; Jude 7
