Our Beliefs
The Bible
We believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God. It is our supreme and final authority in faith and in life. (2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20-21)
God
We believe in one God eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (Genesis 1:1-26; Matthew 28:19; John 1:1-3; 4:24; Acts 5:3-4; Romans 1:20; Ephesians 4:5-6; 2 Corinthians 13:14)
Jesus Christ
We believe that Jesus Christ was begotten by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary, and He is all God and all man. (Matthew 1:18-25; Luke 1:26-38; Romans 9:5; Titus 2:13)
Holy Spirit
We believe that the Holy Spirit dwells within every person who receives Jesus Christ as savior and lord and that the gifts of the Holy Spirit help and guide the believer. (1 Corinthians 12:4-11)
Sin
We believe that man was created in the image of God and that he sinned and incurred not only physical death but also spiritual death, which is separation from God. We also believe that all human beings are born with a sinful nature and are guilty sinners in thought, word, and deed. (Genesis 1:26-27; 3:1-24; Romans 3:25; Romans 5:12-18; 1 John 1:8)
Salvation
We believe that the Lord Jesus died for our sins according to the scriptures as a representative and substitutionary sacrifice, that He rose victorious on the third day, and that all who believe in Him and make Him lord are justified by His shed blood. (Isaiah 53; Matthew 20:18; John 3:16; Romans 3:24-26; Romans 5:1; 1 Corinthians 15:3; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Ephesians 1:7; 1 John 2:2; Matthew 28:6; Romans 10:9; 1 Corinthians 15:14)
We believe that all who come by grace and repentance through faith to accept the Lord Jesus Christ are born again of the Holy Spirit and thereby become children of God. (John 3:3-5; John 1:12-13; James 1:18; 1 Peter 1:23; Ephesians 2:8-9)
Water Baptism
We believe that water baptism by emersion is the Biblical testimony of the professed believer in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (Acts 2:28-41,47; Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 8:36-40; 10:47; 18:8; Romans 6:3-4; 1 Corinthians 12:13)
Communion
We believe that those who partake in communion should be a repentant believer walking in fellowship with the Lord Jesus Christ. (Acts 2:42-46; 1 Corinthians 11:23-29)
Christ’s Second Coming
We believe in the personal and visible return of our Lord Jesus Christ. (Acts 1:11; 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17)
Heaven and Hell
We believe in the bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust, the everlasting joy of the saved in Heaven, and the everlasting punishment of the unsaved in Hell. (John 5:28-29; 1 Corinthians 15; 2 Corinthians 5:10; Matthew 25:31-46; Revelations 20:4-6 & 11-15)
Marriage/Sexuality
We believe that God wonderfully creates each person as male or female and that those two distinct, complementary genders together reflect the image and nature of God. We believe that God created marriage to be exclusively the union of one man and one woman and that intimate sexual activity is to occur exclusively within that union. (Genesis 2:23, 24; Ephesians 5:22, 23; Leviticus 18:6-25; Romans 1:18-32; 1 Corinthians 6:9, 10)
We believe that any form of homosexuality, lesbianism, bisexuality, bestiality, incest, fornication, and adultery are sinful perversions of God’s gift of sex. We also believe that God disapproves of and forbids any attempt to alter one’s gender by surgery or appearance. (Genesis 2:24; Genesis 19:5, 13; Genesis 26:8-9; Leviticus 18:1-30; Romans 1:26-29; 1 Corinthians 5:1, 6:9; 1 Thessalonians 4:1-8; Hebrews 13:4)
