We Believe

1          The Bible is the inspired Word of God and the revealed will of God.

2         There is one eternal God comprised of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

3         The Lord Jesus Christ was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the
      Virgin Mary, fully God, and fully man.  He was crucified, buried, rose
      again on the third day, and personally appeared to His disciples.

4         We believe in the creation, test, and fall of man as recorded in Genesis
      and his resulting spiritual depravity and inability to attain righteousness
      apart from God.

5         There is salvation for the lost and sinful man through Jesus Christ.  On
      the cross, Jesus Christ was executed for the sins of man becoming sin and
      sickness, and providing both salvation and healing for all mankind.  This
      salvation comes not by human works but by believing God raised Jesus
      from the dead and confessing Jesus as Lord.  A life of true holiness and
      love is evidence of our faith and will determine our rewards in eternity.

6         Baptism in water is for all believers and is a declaration to the world that a
      believer identifies with the death of Christ and that they have been raised
      with Him to walk in newness of life.

7         Holy Communion or the Lord’s Supper is a celebration for all believers
      and remembers the death of Jesus Christ.

8        The present ministry of the Holy Spirit is indwelling in believers; the
      Baptism of the Holy Spirit is a distinct experience subsequent to salvation
      and enables believers to live a godly life marked by spiritual power in
      public testimony and service.

9       The Church is the Body of Christ; each believer enjoys the spiritual unity
      of all believers, our Lord Jesus Christ.

10   Jesus will come again to gather His saints to be eternally in Heaven; those
      who have not accepted the redemptive work of Jesus Christ will suffer
      eternal separation from God.
