Beliefs!

The Scriptures

We believe that the Bible is infallible and the only inspired Word of God.

(2 Timothy 3:16-17)

 

The Godhead

We believe in one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

(Matthew 28:19, 1 John 5:7)

 

The Birth, Death, Resurrection & Ascension of Christ

We believe that Jesus is the Son of God, the Christ. He was born of a virgin, crucified,

buried, raised from the dead, and ascended to the right hand of the Father. (John

20:30-31, Matthew 1:22-23, 1 Corinthians 15:3-4, Acts 1:9, Ephesians 4:8-10)

 

Christ’s Return

We believe that Jesus is coming again. He is literally returning to the earth. This is the

Blessed Hope of the Church. (Acts 1:10-11, Titus 2:13, John 14:1-3)

 

 

Sin and Salvation

We believe that all have sinned and need a Savior. Christ is that Savior. Salvation from

eternal judgment is only available to those who place their faith in Christ’s finished

work. It is only by God’s grace, and not our own good works. (Romans 3:23, 1 John

4:14, Ephesians 2:8-9)

 

Baptism in Water

We believe in following Christ’s command to be baptized (fully immersed) in water.

This act does not save us, but declares our identification with Christ in His death, burial

and resurrection. (Matthew 28:19)

 

The Lord’s Table

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ has directed His church to regularly remember

His sacrifice by sharing communion together. (1 Corinthians 11:23-26)

 

Holy Living

We believe that we have not only been given instructions to live a holy life, but have

been given the necessary equipment to do the same. Holy living is not the root of our

salvation, but it is the fruit of it. We are called to be saints. It is God’s will for us to be sanctified (set apart). Sanctification is both a result of the Spirit’s work in us, and our

willingness to cooperate with that work. It is a definite, yet progressive

work of grace. (1 Peter 1:15-16, 1 Thessalonians 4:7, 2 Peter 1:3-4, Ephesians 2:10,

1 Corinthians 1:2, 1 Thessalonians 5:23, Leviticus 20:7)

 

Physical Healing

We believe that physical healing is included in Christ’s finished work on the cross and

is available today. (Isaiah 53:5, Hebrews 13:8, Galatians 3:13-14)

 

The Baptism of the Holy Spirit

We believe that the baptism of the Holy Spirit, with the evidence of speaking in

tongues, is an experience in addition to receiving the Holy Spirit in salvation. It is the

empowerment of a believer to be Christ’s witness and to do His works. (Acts 2:4, Acts

8:14-16, Acts 2:38-39)

 

Gifts of the Holy Spirit

We believe in the 9 Gifts of the Holy Spirit, and that these gifts still function and serve

a vital purpose in the church today. (1 Corinthians 12:4-11)

Beliefs!

The Resurrection of the Saved & Lost

We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and of the lost, the saved to everlasting

life and the lost to everlasting punishment apart from the presence of God.

(John 5:28-29, 11:25, 1 Corinthians 6:14, Revelation 20:12-15)

 

God’s View of Marriage, Sexuality & Gender

Marriage & Sexuality: We believe that God instituted marriage as a monogamous

relationship between one male and one female and that such a marriage is the

foundation of the family and the basic structure of human society. God sanctions

no other sexual activity except what is stated in the context above.

Gender: God has wonderfully and immutably created each person as male or female.

God makes that determination without mistake in the formation of each of us, and we

are born in the body He has designed for us. The two distinct, complementary genders

(male and female) together reflect the image and nature of God. (Mark 10:6-9, Romans

1:26-28, Hebrews 13:4, Romans 9:20, Genesis 1:26-27)

 

Tithing & Giving of Offerings

We believe that God is the source of our provision and that part of honoring Him is

returning to Him (through the local church) the first tenth of our income, which is

known as the tithe. Additionally, we believe in investing in God’s kingdom through the giving of offerings, both to the local church and other works of God. (Malachi 3:10,

Genesis 14:18-20, Leviticus 27:30, Hebrews 7:8, 2 Corinthians 9:6-8)
