What We Believe
We believe that
the Bible is the Word of God, supernaturally inspired,
inerrant in the original Manuscripts and preserved by
God in its verbal inspiration, and is an authoritative
standard for every age and every life. We use the
Authorized King James Version in its English
translation.
We believe that
God, out of His love of men, sent His only begotten Son
into the world to save sinners.
We believe Jesus
Christ is the Son of God, manifested in the flesh, and
that the only way to eternal salvation is through Him.
We believe that
Jesus Christ in the flesh was both God and man, that He
was born of a virgin and that He lived a sinless life,
in which He taught and wrought mighty works and wonders
and signs exactly as revealed in the four Gospels, that
He was crucified, died as a penalty for our sins and was
raised from the dead, bodily on the third day, that He
ascended to the Father's right hand where He intercedes
for believers, and that He is coming again personally,
bodily and visibly.
We believe that
once a person is saved he becomes a new creation in
Christ, ordained to grow in spiritual maturity through
obedience to the Word of God and the indwelling Spirit.
We believe the
church exists for the purpose of carrying out the Great
Commission to spread the Gospel at home and abroad. We
also believe it is the responsibility of the church to
develop mature disciples of Christ through joyful
worship, service and meaningful Bible studies.
Moreover, brethren, I
declare unto you the gospel which I
preached unto you, which also ye have
received, and wherein ye stand;
By which also ye are
saved, if ye keep in memory what I
preached unto you, unless ye have
believed in vain.
For I delivered unto you
first of all that which I also received,
how that Christ died for our sins
according to the scriptures;
And that he was buried,
and that he rose again the third day
according to the scriptures.
I Corinthians 15:1-4
