Faith

• We believe the Bible is the literal, infallible, and inspired Word of God, and the final authority on all matters of faith and life. [Matthew 24:35, 2 Timothy 3:16-17, 2 Peter 1:3-4].
• We believe there is one God Who is revealed to us in three Persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. [John 1:1-4 & 14, Romans 8:9, 2 Corinthians 13:­14].
• We believe in the virgin birth of Jesus, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious atonement through His shed blood, in His death, burial, and bodily resurrection, and in His ascension to the right hand of the Father.
• We believe in His complete deity and humanity; that He is fully God and came in the likeness of man - God incarnate. [Romans 1:3-4, John 1:1-14, 1 Timothy 3:16].
• We believe Christ’s atoning sacrifice on Calvary has made possible the salvation of all mankind, by grace, through faith, and that a Christian stands, and lives, by the faith of the Son of God. [Ephesians 2:8-9, Titus 3:5, Galatians 2:16, Hebrews 9:12].
• We believe in the present day, New Testament ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a Godly life, and by whom the Church is empowered to carry out Christ’s great commission. [Mark 16:20, I Corinthians 12:7-11].
• We believe in His appearing in and through the Body of Christ, and His imminent physical return. [Revelation 20:11-15, 1 Corinthians 15:13-17, John 14:20 & 23, and 2 Peter 1:4].
• We believe that God was in Christ reconciling all the world unto Himself, and that the ministry of reconciliation has been given to the Body of Christ. [John 3:16-17, 2 Corinthians 5:18-21].
• We believe that man was created in the image of God, that he was tempted by Satan and fell, and that, because of the exceeding sinfulness of human nature, regeneration by the Holy Sprit is absolutely necessary for salvation [Genesis 1:27, 2:4-7, Titus 3:5].
• We believe in the bodily resurrection and righteous judgment of all mankind, those who are saved to the resurrection of life and those who are lost to the resurrection of damnation. [Acts 26:8, Revelation 20:11-15].
• We believe concerning matters not specifically addressed in the Scripture, the believer should seek the leading of the Holy Spirit, and the witness of the Word of God for direction and understanding. [Romans 14:4-5, Philippians 2:12].
• We believe in water baptism as an act of obedience to the Word of God. [Matthew 28:19, Acts 2:38, Mark 16:16].
