We Believe

The Bible is the Word of God, a revelation from God to man, the living, infallible, and everlasting rule of faith and conduct, and is superior to conscience and reason.

II Timothy. 3:15-17  |  I Peter 1:23-25  |  Hebrews 4:12

The triune Godhead is comprised of three distinct personalities, The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit, who are eternally self-existent, self-revealed and function as one entity. Jesus Christ, who is God manifested in the flesh, is the second member of the Godhead, co-equal and co-eternal with the Father and The Holy Spirit. 

John 1:1-5, 10-14 | Matthew 28:18-20

Man was created good and upright, for God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, after Our likeness”. But, man, by voluntary transgression, fell, and his only hope of redemption is in Jesus Christ the Son of God.

Genesis 1:26-31 | Genesis 3:1-7 | Romans 5:12-21

Salvation is by faith in Jesus Christ and not by human works; however, our works will determine the rewards in eternity.

Ephesians 2:8-10 | Galatians 2:16 | II Corinthians. 5:10

The ordinance of baptism by a burial with Christ should be observed as commanded in the Scriptures by all who have truly repented and in their hearts have truly believed on Christ as Savior and Lord. In so doing, they declare to the world that they have died with Jesus and that they have also been raised with Him to walk in newness of life.

Matthew 28:19 | Romans 6:4 | Acts 10:47-48

“And when He had given thanks, He broke it, and said, ‘This is my body which is broken for you. Do this in remembrance of me.’ In the same way also he took the cup, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood; Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.’ Let a man examine himself, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup.”

I Corinthians 11:24-25, 28

All believers are entitled to, and should ardently expect and earnestly seek, the promise of the Father, the Baptism in the Holy Spirit, according to the command of our Lord Jesus Christ. With it comes the endowment of power for life and service, the bestowment of the gifts and their uses in the work of the ministry. This wonderful experience is distinct from and subsequent to the experience of the new birth. The full consummation of the Baptism of believers in the Holy Spirit is evidenced by the initial physical sign of speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance and by the subsequent manifestation of spiritual power in public testimony and service.

Luke 24:49 | Acts 1:4-5 | Acts 2:38 | Acts 1:8 | I Corinthians 12:4-11 | Acts 10:44-46 | Acts 11:14-16 | Acts 2:4 | Galatians 5:16-26

The Church is the body of Christ, the habitation of God through the Spirit, with divine appointments for the fulfillment of her great commission. Each believer, born of the Spirit, is an integral part of the general assembly and Church of the first born, whose names are written in Heaven.

Ephesians 1:22-23 | Ephesians 2:19-22 | Hebrews 12:23

(a) Spiritual. III John 2; II Corinthians 5:17-21.

God instituted marriage between male and female as the foundation of the family, the basic structure of human society. God has commanded that no intimate sexual activity be engaged other than in the context of marriage between a man and a woman. We believe that marriage is exclusively the union of one genetic male and one genetic female. God has wonderfully and immutably created each person as male or female. These two distinct, complementary genders together reflect the image and nature of God.

Genesis 2:24 | Genesis 19:5 | Genesis 26:8-11 | Romans 1:26-29 | 1 Corinthians 5:1 | 1 Thessalonians 4:1-8 | Hebrews 13:4 | Genesis 1:26-27

We believe that human life is sacred from conception to its natural end; and that we must have concern for the physical and spiritual needs of our fellowmen.

Psalm 139:13 | Isaiah 49:1 | Jeremiah 1:5 | Matthew 22:37-39 | Romans 12:20-21 | Galatians 6:10

Excerpt from the Apostle Paul’s letter to the Corinthian church: “Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God. Such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.”

1 Corinthians 6:9-11

Those who have not accepted the redemptive work of Jesus Christ will suffer eternal separation from the Godhead. The devil and his angels, the beast and the false prophet, and anyone whose name is not found written in the Book of Life, shall be consigned to everlasting punishment in the lake of fire which burns with brimstone. This is the second death, the lake of fire.

Revelation 19:20 | Revelation 20:10-15

Jesus is coming again to gather all His Saints to ever be with Him. The Scriptures promise the return of our Lord Jesus Christ with His saints from Heaven to rule and reign for one thousand years on earth. After this, there shall be a new heaven and a new earth.

I Corinthians 15:51-52 | I Thessalonians 4:16-17 | II Thessalonians 1:7 | Revelation 20:1-6
