~ ABOUT US ~

ABOUT THE BIBLE We believe the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the verbally inspired Word of GOD, the final authority for faith and life, inerrant in the original writings, infallible, and GOD-breathed.

ABOUT THE TRINITY We believe in the one triune GOD, eternally existing in three persons-Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, Co-eternal in being, co-identical in nature, co-equal in power and glory, and having the same attributes and perfections.

ABOUT JESUS CHRIST We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of GOD, became man, without ceasing to be GOD, having been conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary, in order that He might reveal GOD and redeem sinful men. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ accomplished our redemption through His death on the cross as a representative, vicarious, substitutionary sacrifice, and that our justification is made sure by His literal, physical resurrection from the dead. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ ascended to heaven and is now exalted at the right hand of GOD where, as our High Priest, He fulfills the ministries of representative, intercessor, and advocate.

ABOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT We believe that the Holy Spirit is a person who convicts the world of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment, and that He is the supernatural agent in regeneration, baptizing all believers into the body of Christ, indwelling and sealing them unto the day of redemption. We believe that He is the divine teacher who guides believers into all truth, and that it is the privilege and duty of all the saved to be filled by the Spirit. We believe that all believers are baptized with the Holy Spirit when they believe and receive Jesus Christ as their personal Savior. The manifestations of His presence in a believer's life are many, through both gifts and fruits.

ABOUT GOD THE FATHER We believe in God the Father, an infinite, personal spirit, perfect in holiness, wisdom, power, and love. We believe He concerns Himself mercifully in the affairs of men, that He hears and answers prayers, and that He saves from sin and death all who come to Him through His Son, Jesus Christ.

ABOUT MAN We believe that man was created in the image and likeness of GOD, but that in Adam's sin , the race fell, inherited a sinful nature, and became alienated from GOD, and that man is totally depraved, and of himself, utterly unable to remedy his lost condition. All mankind has sinned with the exception of Jesus Christ, GOD's Son.

ABOUT SALVATION We believe that salvation is the gift of GOD brought to man by grace and received by personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ whose precious blood was shed on Calvary for the forgiveness of our sins.

ABOUT THE ASSURANCE OF BELIEVERS We believe that all those born of GOD are kept by GOD's power and are thus secure in Christ forever. We believe that it is the privilege of believers to rejoice in the assurance of their salvation through the testimony of GOD's Word which, however, clearly forbids the use of Christian liberty as an occasion to the flesh.

ABOUT SEPARATION We believe that all the saved should live in such a manner so as not to bring reproach upon their Savior and Lord, and that separation from all religious apostasy, and from all worldly and sinful pleasures, practices, and associations, as commanded of GOD.

ABOUT MISSIONS We believe that its the obligation of the saved to witness by life and by word to truths of the Holy Scriptures and to seek to proclaim the Gospel to all mankind.

ABOUT BAPTISM We believe that water baptism by immersion is a symbol of the believers identification with Christ in His death, burial, and resurrection and a testimony of what has taken place in their heart.

ABOUT COMMUNION We believe that communion, or the Lords Supper is held as a memorial of Christ's death and should be done in a scriptural manner and as a testimony of our continuing fellowship with Christ.

ABOUT SATAN We believe that Satan is a person, the author of sin, and the cause of the fall, that he is the open and declared enemy of GOD and man. That he shall be eternally punished in the Lake of Fire.

ABOUT THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST We believe in the "Blessed Hope", the personal, imminent, pre-Tribulation and pre-Millennial coming of the Lord Jesus Christ for His redeemed ones, in His subsequent return to earth, with His Saints, to establish His Millennial Kingdom.

ABOUT ETERNITY We believe in the bodily resurrection of all men, the saved to eternal life, and the unsaved to judgment and everlasting punishment.
