Our Statements of Faith21



The Scriptures: We believe that the Bible is the divinely inspired Word of God, that it is complete and without error, and that it is the authoritative rule for Christian faith and practice.

God: We believe that there is one God, Who is the maker of heaven and earth. That God is infinite, almighty, immutable, and perfect in holiness, truth, and love. That God is revealed in three distinct persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. These three are co-existent, co-equal, and co-eternal.

Jesus Christ: We believe that Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God made flesh. That He is fully divine and fully human. That He was born of a virgin and led a sinless life. That He was crucified for the sins of the world, was dead and buried, and on the third day He rose again from the dead. That He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of the Father where He ever lives to make intercession for His people.

The Holy Spirit: We believe that the Holy Spirit convicts the world of sin, righteousness and judgment. That He brings about the new birth, persuading men through the proclamation of the Gospel to repent and confess Jesus as Lord. That He is the counselor, guide, and sealer of our faith sent to indwell our lives. That He desires to fill each believer continually with power to witness, and imparts His supernatural gifts for the edification of the Church and the work of ministry in the world. That all the gifts of the Holy Spirit at work in the Church of the first-century are available today and are to be earnestly desired and practiced. That these gifts are essential in the mission of the Church in the world today.

The Fall and Redemption of Man: We believe that man, in his natural state, is a sinner, lost, without hope, and without God. That man's only hope of redemption from sin is through the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. That salvation is received as a gift of God's grace through repentance toward God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. That Biblical repentance is characterized by a changed life, and saving faith is evidenced by kingdom service.

Sanctification of the Redeemed: We believe that the Holy Spirit is the active agent in our sanctification and seeks to produce His fruit in us as our minds are renewed and we are conformed to the image of Christ. That as we are led by the Spirit, we grow in the knowledge of the Lord, freely keeping His commandments and endeavoring to so live in the world that all people may see our good works and glorify our Father who is in heaven.

The Church: We believe that God by His Word and Spirit creates the Church, calling sinful men out of the whole human race into the fellowship of Christ's Body. That by the same Word and Spirit, He guides and preserves that new redeemed humanity. That the Church exists to worship and glorify God as Father, Son and Holy Spirit. That the ultimate mission of the Church is the making of disciples through the preaching of the Gospel. That upon conversion, newly redeemed men and women are added to a local church in which they devote themselves to teaching, fellowship, the Lord’s Supper and prayer.

The Sacraments of the Church: We believe that water baptism, in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, is an outward and visible sign of an inward and spiritual reality. That in baptism, we are identified with Christ and His Church, demonstrating that we have been buried with Christ, and raised with Him to walk in newness of life.

We believe that the Lord's Supper is for those who have come to faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. That it shows the giving of His body and the shedding of His blood on our behalf, and is to be observed throughout the Christian life as a sign of continued participation in the atoning benefits of His death. That as we partake of the Lord’s Supper with an attitude of faith and self-examination, we remember and proclaim the death of Christ, receive spiritual nourishment, and signify our unity with other members of His body, the Church.



The Second Coming: We believe in the visible, personal and glorious return of the Lord Jesus Christ, the resurrection of the dead and the translation of those alive in Christ, the judgment of the just and the unjust, and the fulfillment of Christ's kingdom in the new heavens and the new earth. Jesus Christ will come again to the earth, personally, visibly and bodily, to consummate history and the eternal plan of God.

The Lord Jesus Christ commanded all believers to proclaim the Gospel throughout the world and to disciple men of every nation. The fulfillment of that Great Commission requires that all worldly and personal ambitions be subordinated to a total commitment to "Him who loved us and gave Himself for us."
