The
Bible
- We believe the Bible to be the complete Word of God; that the
sixty-six books, as originally written, comprising the Old and
New Testaments were verbally inspired by the Spirit of God and
were entirely free from error; that the Bible is the final authority
in all matters of faith and practice and the true basis of Christian
union.
God
- We believe in one God, Creator of all, holy, sovereign, eternal,
existing in three equal Persons, the Father, the Son, and the
Holy Spirit.
Christ
- We believe in the absolute and essential deity of Jesus Christ,
in his eternal existence with the Father in pre-incarnate glory,
in his virgin birth, sinless life, substitutionary death, bodily
resurrection, triumphant ascension, mediatorial ministry and personal
return.
The
Holy Spirit
- We believe in the absolute and essential deity and personality
of the Holy Spirit who convinces of sin, of righteousness and
of judgment; who regenerates, sanctifies, illuminates and comforts
those who believe in Jesus Christ.
Satan
- We believe that Satan exists as an evil personality, the originator
of sin, the archenemy of God and mankind.
Humankind
- We believe that men and women are divinely created in the image
of God; that we sinned, becoming guilty before God, resulting
in total depravity, thereby incurring physical and spiritual death.
Salvation
- We believe that salvation is by the sovereign, electing grace
of God; that by the appointment of the Father, Christ voluntarily
suffered a vicarious, expiatory and propitiatory death; that justification
is by faith alone in the all-sufficient sacrifice and resurrection
of the Lord Jesus Christ and that those whom God has effectually
called shall be divinely preserved and finally perfected in the
image of the Lord.
Future
Things
- We believe in the personal, bodily and glorious return of the
Lord Jesus Christ; in the bodily resurrection of the just and
unjust; in the eternal blessedness of the redeemed and in the
judgment and conscious, eternal punishment of the wicked.
The
Local Church
- We believe that a church is a company of immersed believers,
called out from the world, separated unto the Lord Jesus, voluntarily
associated for the ministry of the Word, the mutual edification
of its members, the propagation of the faith and the observance
of the ordinances. We believe it is a sovereign, independent body,
exercising its own divinely awarded gifts, precepts and privileges
under the Lordship of Christ, the Great Head of the church. We
believe that its officers are pastors and deacons.
Ordinances
- We believe that there are only two ordinances for the church
regularly observed in the New Testament in the following order:
1. Baptism
which is the immersion of the believer in water, whereby he
obeys Christ's command and sets forth his identification with
Christ in His death, burial, and resurrection;
2. The Lord's
Supper which is the memorial wherein the believer partakes of
the two elements, bread and wine, which symbolizes the Lord's
body and shed blood, proclaiming his death until he comes.
