About the Bible
that it contains no errors in the original manuscripts and is preserved by God for us. We believe that the Bible is the final authority for all matters of faith, truth, morality, and Christian living.
Isaiah 40:8; Matthew 5:18; 24:35; Romans 15:4
About God
We believe in God the Father Almighty, Creator of all things visible and invisible.
We believe God created the universe by His Power and Word. We believe that God is all-knowing, all-powerful and ever present.
Genesis 1:1; Matthew 5:16; Hebrews 11:3; James 1:17
About God the Son
We believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the eternal Word, the one and only Savior. He was conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary.
We believe Jesus was both God and man, that He was crucified for our sins, and was bodily raised from the dead. He then ascended to His Father’s side where He is head of the church and intercedes for believers. He will return in victory to rule forever.
John 1:1,14, 29; 3:16; Philippians 2:6-11; Colossians 1:15-19; 1 John 1:9
About the Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God and has all the divine characteristics. We believe the ministry of the Holy Spirit is to apply the saving work of Christ. He convicts men of sin, of righteousness and of judgement. He regenerates their heart and then indwells them when they believe and are baptized. His ongoing work is to lead, guide and empower the believer for godly living and service.
John 16:8; 1 Corinthians 6:19; 2 Timothy 1:14; Romans 8:26; Galatians 5:22-23
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 the cross at Calvary for the forgiveness of our sins. (Ephesians 2:8-10; John 1:12; Ephesians 1:7; 1 Peter 1:18-19).
The Biblical pattern for expressing one’s personal decision to place their faith in Jesus Christ and turn from sin involves water baptism by immersion, which re-enacts the death, burial and resurrection of Christ. Baptism is the means by which we entrust and commit ourselves to God through Christ in a visible moment.
About Communion
We take communion every week, following the example of the early church. It provides us a reminder of the foundational teachings of our faith that’s related to the death, resurrection, ascension, and promised return of Jesus.
Acts 2:42; 1 Corinthians 11:23-26
About the Church
Scripture commands believers to gather together in local congregations for the scriptural teaching, fellowship, prayer, mutual encouragement, worship of God, and disciple-making.
We believe that the Elders of the church are the overseers of its affairs and the shepherds of its members.
They are responsible for the oversight, instruction, edification, discipline, and restoration of church members.
meet together regularly for fellowship, worship, teaching, and the Lord’s Supper. We are to serve one another, love one another and encourage one another. Each member is to submit to the authority of the Elders, support the church financially and work together to fulfill the Great Commission.
