Our Faith


Joshua 24:15, 16; Matthew 7:15; Deuteronomy 4:39

1. We believe the Bible to be the inspired, inerrant, and only infallible authoritative Word of God.
2. We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit.
3. We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His atoning or reconciliatory work on the cross through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father.
4. We believe that the entire human race has descended from our first parents, Adam and Eve, as recorded in Genesis chapters one and two. We believe that Adam and Eve were a special creation of God and solidly reject any theory that would express the idea that they may have evolved from a lower creature.
5. We believe that the entire human race is a fallen race as a result of our first parents' being seduced by Satan, and as such dead in sin. It is therefore necessary for God to resurrect the dead man in order to make him alive in Christ. He must be born again.
6. We believe that the only means of salvation is by God's grace through faith alone. We firmly reject any theory of a works-based salvation. Justification is by faith alone and available to all who would receive.
7. We believe in the ever-present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by Whose indwelling the believer is enabled to live a godly life.
8. We believe in the spiritual unity of all true believers in our Lord Jesus Christ and in the prominence of the visible, local New Testament Church.
9. We believe that life is a gift from God and must always be regarded as sacred. Therefore, we believe that infanticide and euthanasia is inexcusably wrong.
10. We adhere to the Biblical standards of chastity and purity, and vigorously oppose public acceptance of sexual promiscuity and all factors and practices that promote it. The Biblical view of human sexuality makes the sexual experience a gift of God to be a communion between husband and wife. We believe that homosexuality is immoral and sinful but that the grace of God is sufficient to redeem and restore the homosexual.
11. We believe that Satan is a real being whose will and purpose is to destroy the will of God for each person's life. We believe that Satan's destruction to eternal hell is guaranteed.
12. We believe that the Scriptures clearly teach that there is a conscious personal existence after death. Heaven with its eternal glory and the blessedness of Christ's presence is the final abode of those who choose the salvation which God provides through Jesus Christ; but hell with its everlasting misery and separation from God is the final abode of those who neglect this great salvation.
13. We believe that disputes among Christians should be settled within the Church, not by a secular court.
14. We believe in a literal second coming or return of our Lord to gather His saints and establish His Kingdom upon this earth.
