What We Believe

  • We believe the Bible is the Word of God, supernaturally inspired, inerrant in the original manuscripts and preserved by God.
  • We believe the Godhead exists eternally in three persons – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit – and that these three are one God.
  • We believe God is the absolute and sole Creator of the Universe. Creation was by divine fiat and not through the evolutionary process.
  • We believe Jesus Christ in the flesh was both God and man.
  • We believe Jesus was crucified, died as a penalty for our sins, and was raised from the dead bodily on the third day.
  • We believe Jesus’ death by His shed blood made a perfect atonement for sin.
  • We believe salvation with its forgiveness of sins, impartation of a new nature, and hope for eternal life is by faith apart from good works.
  • We believe a true believer is eternally secure.
  • We believe the Holy Spirit indwells all believers and baptizes and seals all believers at the moment of their salvation. He fills them in response to confession of sin and yieldedness.
  • We believe the ordinances of the church are Believer’s Baptism and The Lord’s Supper.
