We Believe:

The Godhead eternally exists in three persons- The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.  These three are one God, having the same nature, attributes and perfection.  Romans 1:20; Matthew 28:19; Deuteronomy 4:2; John 17:5

In the personality and Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ.  Begotten of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, truly God and truly man.  John 1:1, 14; 10:30; Matthew 1:20; Luke 1:30, 31; Philippians 2:5-7; 1 Timothy 3:16; Colossians 1:19

In the personality and Deity of the Holy Spirit, the source and power of all acceptable worship and service.  The infallible interpreter of the infallible Word, who indwells every true believer, and is ever present to testify of Christ, seeking to occupy us with Him and not with ourselves or our experiences.  John 15:26; Acts 1:8, 5:3-4; Romans 8:26-3:16; 12:13; John 16:13-14

In the reality and personality of Satan, “that old serpent, called the devil, and Satan, which deceives the whole world” (Revelation 12:9).  Ephesians 6:11-12; 1 Peter 5:8; Revelation 20:10

That man was created in the image of God, after His likeness, as stated in the Word of God, but the whole human race fell in the fall of the first Adam.  Not only was his moral nature grievously injured by the fall but he totally lost all spiritual life, becoming dead in trespasses and sins, and subject to the power of the devil.  “The carnal mind is enmity against God:  for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.  So then, they that are in the flesh cannot please God” (Romans 8:7, 8).  Therefore, he cannot see nor enter the kingdom of God until he is born again by the Holy Spirit.  That a new nature imparted from above, a new life implanted by the Holy Spirit through the Word is absolutely essential to salvation.  Genesis 1:26-27;  Romans 5:12;  Ephesians 2:1-3;  John 3:3,6,7;  Titus 3:5


That Jesus Christ became the sinner’s substitute before God, and died as a propitiatory sacrifice for the sins of the whole world.  That He was made a curse for the sinner, dying for his sins according to the Scriptures; that no repentance, no feeling, no faith, no good resolutions, no sincere efforts, no submission to the rules and regulations of any church can add in the very least to the value of the precious blood or to the merit of that finished work wrought for us by Him, who tasted death for every man.  1 John 2:2; Hebrews 2:9; Galatians 3:13; Romans 3:25; 4:4, 5; 5:8; Colossians 1:13-14, 20-21 

In the resurrection of the crucified body of Jesus Christ.  That his body was raised from the dead according to the Scriptures, and that He ascended into Heaven and sat on the right hand of God as the believer’s high priest and advocate.  Luke 24:39; Acts 1:10-11; Ephesians 4:10; Hebrews 1:3; I John 2:1

That Christ in the fullness of the blessings He has secured by His death and resurrection is received by faith alone and that the moment we trust in Him as our Savior we pass out of death into everlasting life, justified from all things, accepted before the Father according to the measure of His acceptance, loved as He is loved and made one with Him.  At the time of acceptance of Christ as Savior, He comes to dwell within the believer and to live out His life of holiness and power through him.  Hebrews 9:15; John 5:24; Romans 3:28; 4:3, 23-25; Ephesians 1:3; John 17:23; Galatians 2:20; 4:6-7; 5:16; Acts 1:8

We believe that all the redeemed, once saved, are kept by God’s power and are thus secure in Christ forever (John 6:37–40; 10:27–30; Romans 8:1, 38, 39; 1 Corinthians 1:4–8; 1 Peter 1:5). We believe that it is the privilege of believers to rejoice in the assurance of their salvation through the testimony of God’s Word, which clearly forbids the use of Christian liberty as an occasion for the flesh (Romans 13:13, 14; Galatians 5:13; Titus 2:11–15).

That the Church is composed of all those who truly believe on the Lord Jesus Christ as Savior.  It is the body and bride of Christ.  That every believer, whether Jew or Gentile, is baptized into the body of Christ by the Holy Spirit, and having thus become members of one another we are responsible to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace, rising above all denominational divides and loving one another with a pure heart fervently.  Ephesians 1:22-23; 2:19-22;  1 Corinthians 12:22-27; 1:10-13;  Romans 12:4-5;  Ephesians 4:3-6; 5:32;  Philippians 2:1-5;  Galatians 5:13-15

That all believers in our Lord Jesus Christ are called to pursue Christian maturity and godly behavior; that all Christians are free in Christ and that Christian liberty is bound by love and is to be guided by what is for the edification of the entire community (1 Cor. 8:1-13; 10:23-33; Rom. 14:1-23).  Christian liberty should be used to honor ones neighbor and bring honor and glory to God.  Christians should conduct themselves honorably in all areas by considering others before themselves even in area’s a Christian is free in Christ.

In the evangelization of the world, which is the supreme mission of the people of God in this age is to preach the Gospel to every creature.  Mark 16:15;  2 Corinthians 5:18-19;  Matthew 18:14

In the personal return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, that the coming again of Jesus Christ is the “blessed hope” set before us, for which we should be constantly looking.  “Our citizenship is in Heaven from whence we look for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ” (Philippians 3:20).  Acts 1:11; 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17; John 14:1-3; Titus 2:13; Philippians 3:20-21
