Our Beliefs

  • We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: God the Father, Son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit.

  • We believe that the Bible, including all of the books of the Old and New Testaments, is the infallible and inspired Word of God. The Bible is the final authority on all matters to which it speaks. It is the source of all doctrine, instruction, and correction. (Psalm 19:7-11, 119:105; 2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:20-21)

  • We believe that man was created in the image of God, but because of voluntary disobedience, he fell from innocence and purity. So that now, there is salvation by grace through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. (John 3:16; Romans 5)

  • We believe that it is the will of God that we be sanctified daily and grow in our faith constantly. It requires dependence upon the Holy Spirit and a willingness to die to personal desires and passions, to remain faithful through all of life’s circumstances. (1 Thes. 5:23; 2 Cor. 3:18; 2 Cor. 6:14-18; Rom. 8:29; Rom. 12:1-2; Heb. 2:11; Heb. 6:1)

  • We believe in the divine personhood of the Holy Spirit. His present day ministry includes, giving believers spiritual gifts and empowering them to serve the Kingdom of God. (Acts 1:8; Ephesians. 5:18; 1 Cor. 1; 1 Cor. 12:1-22; Gal. 5:16-24).1 Cor. 12-14, Rom. 12 and Ephesians. 4:11-12.

  • We believe that Baptism, by immersion in water, is an outward expression of an inward commitment to faith in Jesus Christ.

  • We believe the commemoration of the Lord’s Supper, is a symbolic form of worship to our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. (Matt. 28:19; Acts 8: 35-38; 1 Cor. 11:24-25)

  • We believe in the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ, the resurrection of believers, and the final judgment. (Matt. 24:30; Acts 1:9-11; I Thes. 4:15-17; Rev. 1:7).
