What We Believe

1. THE HOLY SCRIPTURES

We believe the Bible is God-inspired (2 Timothy 3:16).

2. THE ETERNAL GODHEAD

We believe God is Triune: Father, Son and Holy Spirit

(2 Corinthians 13:14).

3. THE FALL OF MAN

We believe man was created in the image of God, but that by

voluntary disobedience he fell from perfection. (Romans 5:12).

4. THE PLAN OF SALVATION

We believe that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us, signing

the pardon for all who believe in Him. (John 3:16; Romans 5:8).

5. SALVATION THROUGH GRACE

We believe we have no righteousness and must come to God,

pleading the righteousness of Christ. (Ephesians 2:8).

6. REPENTANCE. ACCEPTANCE

We believe that upon sincere repentance and a whole-hearted acceptance of Christ, we are justified before God. (Romans 10:6-10; 1 John 1:9).

7. THE NEW BIRTH

We believe in a real change which takes place in the heart and

life at conversion. (2 Cor. 5:17;Gal 2:20).

8. DAILY CHRISTIAN LIFE

We believe it is the will of God that we are sanctified daily,

growing constantly in the faith. (Hebrews 6: 1).

9. BAPTISM. THE LORD’S SUPPER

We believe baptism by immersion is an outward sign of an inward work (Matthew 28:19). We believe in the commemoration of the Lord’s Supper by the symbolical use of the bread and the juice of the vine. (I Cor 11:24,25).

10. BAPTISM WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT

We believe the baptism with the Holy Spirit empowers believers and that His incoming is after the same manner as in Bible days. (Acts 2:4).

11. THE SPIRIT-FILLED LIFE

We believe it is the will of God that we daily walk in the Spirit. (Ephesians 4:30-32).

12. THE GIFTS. FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT

We believe the Holy Spirit has gifts to bestow upon the Christian (I Corinthians 12: 1-11) and that we should show spiritual fruit as evidence of a Spirit-filled life. (Galatians 5:22).

13. MODERATION

We believe the experience and daily walk of the believer should never lead him into extremes of fanaticism. (I Timothy 2:8-10; Colossians 3-17)

14. DIVINE HEALING

We believe divine healing is the power of Christ to heal the sick in

answer to the prayer of faith. (James 5: 14-16).

15. THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST

We believe the second coming of Christ is personal and

Imminent. (I Thessalonians 4:16, 17)

16. CHURCH RELATIONSHIP

We believe it is our sacred duty to identify with the visible Church of

Jesus Christ. (Acts 16:5; Hebrews 10:25).

17. CIVIL GOVERNMENT

We believe laws should be upheld at all times except in things

opposed to the will of God. (Romans 13:1-5).

18. THE FINAL JUDGMENT

We believe some day all shall stand before the judgment seat of Christ to there receive eternal life or death. (Revelation 20:11-15; Hebrews 9:27; 2 Corinthians 5:10).

19. HEAVEN

We believe heaven is the glorious eternal home of born-again

believers. (John 14:1-3; Revelation 7:15-17).

20. HELL

We believe hell is the place of eternal torment for all who reject

Christ as their Savior. (Revelation 20:10-15).

21. EVANGELISM

We believe soul winning is the primary responsibility of the

Church. (James 5:20).

22. TITHES. OFFERING

We believe the method ordained of God for the support and spread of His cause is by giving tithes and free-will offerings. (Malachi 3:10; 2 Corinthians 9:7)
