OUR BELIEFS
01
The Bible
We believe the Holy Bible to be the inspired and only infallible, authoritative Word of God
2 Timothy 3:16,17
02
One God
We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Isaiah 44:8; II Corinthians 13:14
The Father
Whose glory is so exceeding bright that mortal man cannot look upon His
face and live, but whose heart was so filled with love and pity for His lost and sin- benighted children that He freely gave His only begotten Son to redeem and reconcile them unto Himself (Exodus 33:20; John 3:16).
The Son
Co-existent and co-eternal with the Father, who, conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary took upon Himself the form of man, bore our sins, carried our sorrows, and by the shedding of His precious blood upon the cross of Calvary, purchased redemption for all that would believe upon Him: then, bursting the bonds of death and hell rose from the grave and ascended on high leading captivity captive, that as the great mediator between God and man, He might stand at the right hand of the Father making intercession for those whom He laid down His life John 1:1-3; Job 38:4- 7; Matthew 1:23; Ephesians 2:18).
The Holy Spirit
The third person of the Godhead, the Spirit of the Father shed abroad, omnipotent, omnipresent, performing an inexpressibly important mission upon earth, convicting of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment, drawing sinners to the Savior, rebuking, pleading, searching, comforting, quickening, teaching, glorifying, baptizing and empowering from on high those who yield to His tender ministrations, preparing them for the great day of the Lord’s appearing (1 John 5:7; John 15:26) (Also, 2 Corinthians 13:14; Matthew 28:19; Romans 8:11; John 16:7-14).
03
Jesus Christ
We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious death and atonement through His Shed Blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His present priestly ministry.
1 Timothy 3:16; Romans 3:25,26
04
Evangelism
We believe in evangelistic and missionary fervor and endeavor.
Acts 1:8; Mark 16:15-18

Salvation
We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful man, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential. We further believe in the keeping power of God.

Sanctification
We believe that sanctification, holiness and the overcoming life is God’s design for the Church, which is the Bride of Christ.

Life has Worth
We believe that since mankind is created in God’s image, human life is of inestimable worth and significance in all its dimensions, from conception to the grave.
