What We Believe

What We Believe

~~~

We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God.
(Revelation 22:19; II Timothy 3:16; Matthew 24:35; Hebrews 4:12)

We believe that there is only one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
(Matthew 28:19)

We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, and in His personal return in power and glory.
(Ephesians 1:7; Titus 2:13; II Peter 1:1; John 20:28)

We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful man regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential.
(John 3:3; Romans 8:11; Ephesians 1:13-14; Galatians 3:3; Titus 3:5-6)

We believe that men and women are born again when they believe in Jesus Christ and personally invite Him to come into heart.
(John 3:16; John 1:12; Romans 10:13; Revelation 3:20)

We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.
(Romans 8:1-11; John 14:16-18; Romans 8:14-17)

We believe in the soon coming of our Lord Jesus Christ again to the earth, personally, visibly and bodily to take us to that home He has prepared
for us.
(I Thessalonians 4:16-17; Revelation 22:20)

We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved into the resurrection of eternal life with Jesus and they that are lost unto damnation.
(II Thessalonians 1:7-9)

We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.
(Ephesians 4:3)
