The Church

We believe that a visible church of Christ is a congregation of baptized believers, associated by covenant in the faith are fellowship of the gospel; observing the ordinances of Christ; governed by His laws and exercising the rights and privileges invested in them by His Word; that its only Scriptural officers are pastors and deacons, whose qualifications and duties are defined in the Epistles of Timothy and Titus. Acts 2: 41-42; Cor. 1: 1-13; Matt. 28:20

​

We believe that the business of the Church is to preach the gospel, to build up its members in the faith, to make disciples, to teach and instruct as Christ commanded, and to evangelize the world.

We believe that it is required of every Christian to live a Godly life, separated from the world and unto the Lord. Rom. 12:1, 2; 2 Cor. 6:14-17; John 2:15-17

Salvation

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ was sinless in His Life, that He died for our sins according to the Scriptures as a representative and substitutionary sacrifice, and that all who believe in and accept Him are justified on the ground of His shed blood have their sins pardoned and receive the gift of eternal life. 2 Cor.5:21; 1 Cor. 15: 1-4; John 1:12; Rom. 5:9; 6:23; Col. 1:14; 1 John 5:12

​

We believe in “that blessed hope,” the personal, bodily, premillennial return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Acts 1:11; 1 Thess. 4: 13-18; Titus 2:13

The Bible

We believe in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments as verbally inspired of God, inerrant in the original writings, and supreme and final authority in faith and life. 2 Tim. 3:16, 17 

​

We believe marriage to be a holy union sanctioned by God between one man and one woman only. Matt 19: 4-6

​

We believe in the Genesis account of Creation, that man was created in the image of God, that he sinned and thereby incurred not only physical death but also that spiritual death which separation from God, and that all human beings are born with sinful nature and, in case of those who reach moral responsibility, become sinners in thought, word and deed. Gen1:27; Rom. 5:12; Eph. 4:18; Rom. 3: 12-23

The Trinity

We believe in one God, eternally existing in Three Persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, equal in every Divine perfection and executing distinct but harmonious offices in the great work of Redemption. 1 Peter 1:2; John 10:30; Eph. 2:18  

 

We believe that God the Son became incarnate in the person of Jesus Christ, Who was begotten of the Holy Spirit, and born of the Virgin Mary, and is truly the God-man. Matt 1:18-25; Luke 1:26-38; John 14:9; Col. 1:15-19

Ordinances

We believe that all who receive by faith the Lord Jesus are born again of the Holy Spirit and thereby become children of God. John 1:12; 3:3-16; Rom. 8:16

​

We believe in the ordinances which Christ has commanded us to observe; baptism by immersion in water and the Lord’s Supper.

Resurrection

We believe in the resurrection of the crucified body of our Lord, in His ascension into Heaven, and in His present life for us there, as High Priest and Advocate. Rom. 1:4; Luke 24:39; Acts 1:9; Heb. 7:25; 4:14; 1 John 2:1

​

We believe in the bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust, the everlasting blessedness of the saved, and the everlasting conscious punishment of the lost. Dan. 12:2,3; John 5:24-29; Rev. 20: 4-8; 1 John 5:12; 2 Cor. 5:1; Luke 16: 19-31
