OUR
BELIEFS.
These Beliefs Are the Core of Who We Are.
Prayer is the foundation of all we do. We believe every person is valuable to God and His Kingdom. The Christian life is for every believer to be fully devoted to Christ and His cause.
01. We Believe.
The Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative, eternal Word of God.
II Timothy 3:15-17; Hebrews 4:12; II Peter 1:21; Isaiah 40:8; Psalm 119:89, 160
02. We Believe.
That there is one true God, eternally existent as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Matthew 28:19; Mark 1:9-11; John 5:18, 23; 10: 29, 30; Psalm 139:7; I Corinthians 2:10,11; Hebrews 1: 5-12 Psalms 102:25; Hebrews 9:14; II Corinthians 13:14
03. We Believe.
In the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His vicarious and atoning death, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.
John 1: 1-5; 20:28; Colossians 1:15-17; Matthew 1:22, 23; 3:16, 17; II Corinthians 5:21; Romans 3:25; Matthew 28: 5-7; I Corinthians 15: 3-8; Acts 1: 9-11; 2: 32-33; Romans 8:34; Ephesians 4:8-10; Hebrews 1: 2-3; I Thessalonians. 4:16-18
04. We Believe.
That for the salvation of lost and sinful man, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential. Salvation is by faith alone through grace alone. Both justification and sanctification are the works of the Holy Spirit in those who trust in Jesus.
John 3:5, 6; Titus 3:5, 6; Ephesians 2:8; Galatians 3:2-3; I Peter 1:2
05. We Believe.
In the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.
Luke 24:49; Acts 1:8; Romans 8:9-11, 13-15; 15: 18,19; II Corinthians 1:21, 22; Ephesians 3: 14-19; 5: 18-20
06. We Believe.
In the personal baptism with the Holy Spirit as received by believers “at the beginning.” We believe in the present day manifestation of all the gifts of the Holy Spirit in the Church.
John 1:33; 20: 21-23; Acts 1:8; 2: 4; 4: 31; 8:17; 10: 44-46; 19: 3-6; Romans 12: 6-8; I Corinthians 12:13, 27-31; 14: 1-40; Ephesians 5:18
07. We Believe.
As we repent and turn to God and believe the good news that Jesus died on the cross for our sins, we are born again and follow in obedience to water baptism as a testimony of our transformation from death to life.
Luke 5:32, Acts 17:30, Acts 2:38, Acts 3:19
08. We Believe.
In obeying the Great Commission in the spirit of the Great Commandment.
Matthew 22:37, 38; 28: 18-20; Mark 16:15; Luke 24: 46-48; John 20:21; Acts 1:8
09. We Believe.
In the sanctity of human life from the moment of conception to the time of death. All human life is precious in the sight of God.
Luke 1:15 Galatians 1:15; Psalm 22:10; 71:6; 139: 13-14. Mark 8:36; Psalm 72:14; Isaiah 43:4
10. We Believe.
That marriage and family are institutions ordained by the Lord God Himself from the very beginning of human history and these are sacred institutions. Marriage is between one man and one woman. Any other definition of marriage is contrary to the clear teachings of the Holy Bible and hence against the expressed will of God.
Genesis 1:27,28; 2:20b-24; 1 Corinthians 7:2; Hebrews 13:4
