What We Believe
We believe the Bible to be the verbally inspired word of God: the only infallible, authoritative Word of God. It is our supreme and final authority for faith and practice. (II Timothy 3:15-17)
We believe in one God eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. (Genesis 1:1; Deut. 6:4; John 4:24; Romans 8:14-15)
We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, His Virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His substitutionary and atoning death, His bodily resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory. (Isaiah 7:14; John 1:1-18)
We believe that the Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity, one with the Father and the Son, the indeweller of every believer whereby each is sealed unto the day of redemption of the body. His presence in the Christian is the assurance of God to bring the believer into the fullness of the stature of Christ. We believe that the fullness of the Holy Spirit is manifested by the fruit of the Spirit. (Galatians 5:22-23)
We believe in the existence and operating power of a real and personal evil one called Satan, or Devil, opposed to all righteousness and exalting himself against all that God is and desires. (1Peter 5:8-9)
We believe in a literal hell, the place of eternal punishment for those who have not trusted in the shed blood of Jesus Christ. (Luke 15:19-31; Matthew 25:46; II Thess. 1:9)
We believe in a literal place called heaven where God’s immediate presence is manifested, where the angels are, and where the redeemed shall ultimately be, from whence Christ descended and ascended again, where He maketh intercession for the saints, and from where He shall come to judge the quick and the dead. (Hebrews 12:22-23; John 3:5; II Peter 1:10-11)
We believe that God created man in His own image and in a state of innocence, but that through temptation man willfully transgressed. All mankind is born dead in trespasses and sins, and under condemnation having inherited a corrupt nature. (Psalm 51; Romans 5; Ephesians 2:1)
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins according to the Scripture, as a representative and substitutionary sacrifice: that He arose from the dead in His glorified body, ascended into heaven, and that as our great High Priest and Advocate, He ever lives to make intercession for us: that all who believe on His name are justified on the basis of grace through faith in Him. The believer is, therefore, eternally secure, kept by the power of God. (Acts 16:30-31; Ephesians 1:2-10; Romans 5:8-10; John 3:16-18; I Peter 1:5)
We believe that the regeneration is a divine and instantaneous work of the Holy Spirit whereby God imparts life to one dead in trespasses and sin. (II Cor. 5:17-20; John 3; Galatians 2:16-20)
We believe that sanctification is a divine and progressive work of the Holy Spirit whereby God, upon the ground of the finished work of Christ on the Cross, His present intercessory ministry and His Divine Word, sets the believer apart and works out, in, and through him by means of a submissive will that which is well-pleasing to Himself through Jesus Christ. This work culminates in the redemption of the body. (Phil. 2:12-13; Ephesians 5)
We believe that every child of God should demonstrate their separation unto God and from the world system. This separation involves a fruitful, spirit-filled life of obedience to the command of Scripture and the refusal to associate with or become involved in anything that would bring reproach upon the character and work of Christ and His church. (II Cor. 6:14-18; Ephesians 1; Romans 12:1-2)
We believe that the Lord Jesus is coming again to rapture His saints and establish His kingdom. The rapture of His church is imminent. (I Thess. 4:13-17; John 14:2-3)
