What We Believe
​
-
We believe in the scriptures of the Old and New Testament as inspired of God and without error in the original writings. (2 Timothy 3:16 & 2 Peter 1:21)
-
We believe in One God eternally existing in three equal persons – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (John 1:1; 1 John 5:7; John 14:16; 1 Corinthians 3:16, 8:6)
-
We believe that God the Son became flesh in the person of Jesus Christ, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit to be born of the virgin Mary and who is true God and true man. (Matthew 1:23; Luke 1:26-35; John 1:4)
-
We believe that Jesus Christ died for our sins as a substitutionary sacrifice and that He physically and bodily rose from the grave after three days according to the scriptures. (Romans 5:6-8; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4)
-
We believe in the personal, bodily, visible, pre-millennial return of Jesus Christ. (1 Thessalonians 4:13-17; Acts 1:9-11)
-
We believe that whoever by faith receives Jesus Christ as his or her Savior becomes a child of God. This salvation is not the result of human effort or merit (John 1:12; Galatians 3:26; Ephesians 2:8-9)
-
We believe that all true believers are kept eternally secure by the power of God through new birth; the indwelling and sealing of the Holy Spirit; and the intercession of Jesus Christ. (John 3:3, 10:28, 18:9)
