We Believe...
We Believe...
  • God's Word, both the Old and New Testament, to be fully inspired by God and without error.  As the written record of His supernatural revelation of Himself to man, the Bible is the final authority for every Christian's faith and practice.
  • In only one God who is the Creator of all things, infinite, eternal, and unchangeable, existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. These three persons are the same in substance and equal in power and glory.
  • That Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man, conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary.
  • That man was created in the image of God; that he sinned in Adam, and is therefore alienated from God and is spiritually dead. It is only through regeneration that eternal and spiritual life can be obtained.
  • The shed blood of Jesus Christ and His resurrection are the only means by which a person can be justified, obtain eternal life and receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
  • That salvation is a free gift and is by grace alone, apart from human merit.
  • That all believers should be baptized by immersion as the first step of obedience to Christ.
  • That there are only two ordinance for the New Testament church spoken of in Scripture: baptism and the Lord's Supper (communion).
  • In the imminent return of our Lord Jesus Christ and that He will come back to earth the second time personally, bodily, and visibly.
  • In the bodily resurrection of the dead, and the eternal existence of all mankind in either Heaven or Hell which includes divine judgments, rewards, and punishments.

We understand that there are many practices and doctrines that are considered "orthodox" which do not contradict Scripture, but which are not directly addressed in His Word. We are committed to giving liberty in the belief and practice of these teachings, but we will endeavor to maintain the simplicity of the Biblical testimony and stated practices as we are given grace to perceive them. We do not accept any spiritual experience as having its source in the Holy Spirit that does not have a precedent in Scripture. We do not accept as truth any revelation, vision, dream, prophecy or discernment which contradicts Scripture, or cannot be verified by it. We do not believe that any other writings have the same authority as the divinely inspired and preserved canon of Scripture.
