OUR STATEMENT OF FAITH
We believe in the Virgin Birth of Jesus Christ, and that He is true God and man. He died on the cross for our sins. He rose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven where He sits at the right hand of the Father and is now our only High Priest and Advocate.
We believe that male and female were created in the image of God. We believe that man was formed from the mud of the ground, God breathed into man, and man became a living soul.
We believe that the woman was taken out of man, and the two became one. We believe there are only two genders (male and female), and marriage should only be between those two.
We believe that after the fall of man into sin, we are lost. Only through regeneration by the work of the Holy Spirit can man's salvation and spiritual life be obtained
We believe that eternal salvation is the free gift of God, entirely apart from man's works, and is possessed by any and all who have faith in and receive Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior. We further believe that Jesus Christ is the only means of salvation and to heaven.
We believe in church discipleship not membership: that is, persons old enough to understand their need for Jesus Christ and, of their own free will, accept Him as their personal Lord and Savior
We believe that baptism is by immersion and the Lord's Supper is a memorial to His suffering and death on the cross and His soon return. These are ordinances to be observed by the church in the present age. They are, however, not to be regarded as a means for man's salvation
We believe in the personal, bodily, imminent, and glorious return of the Lord Jesus Christ and that His Second Coming inspires believers for dynamic and zealous life and service while waiting for His return.
We believe in the bodily resurrection of the dead, the everlasting blessedness of the saved in heaven, and the everlasting punishment and separation from God of the unsaved in hell.
We believe in the autonomy of the local church. The church shall manage its own affairs and shall not be subject to any other religious body or organization
We believe the Holy Bible as the inspired Word of God, without any contextual error, the all-sufficient authority in all matters of faith, doctrine, and Christian living
We believe in one God, eternally existing in three Persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit
