Doctrinal Beliefs

​

1. The Scriptures - We believe in the plenary verbal inspiration of the Word of God.  We believe that both the Old and New Testaments are inerrant in the original writings and are the supreme and final authority for faith and life.

​

2. The Godhead - We believe the Godhead exists in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.  These three Persons are one God, having precisely the same nature, attributes, and perfections.

​

3. The Lord Jesus Christ - We believe in His eternal existence as God; His incarnation and virgin birth; His death on the cross as a substitutionary atonement for sin; His literal, bodily resurrection from the dead; His present ministry of intercession in heaven; and His personal, future return to earth.

​

4. The Holy Spirit - We believe that the Holy Spirit, the Third Person of the Godhead, convicts men of sin and regenerates, baptizes, indwells, seals, and sets apart believers unto a holy life; keeps and empowers believers day by day; is the Teacher of the Word of God and the Guide for daily living.

​

5. Man - We believe that man was created innocent and pure, and Adam fell through the sin of disobedience.  Therefore, all men are corrupted in body, soul, and spirit, and all men need redemption.

​

6. Salvation - We believe that salvation is by grace, a free gift of God apart from works; salvation involves repentance, a turning from one's own way to God's way; salvation is through personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; all who receive Jesus Christ are regenerated by the Holy Spirit and become the children of God; and true salvation will be manifested by a changed life.

​

7. The Future - We believe in the personal, visible, bodily return of Jesus Christ to earth; the bodily resurrection of the just to the eternal abode in the glory of God's presence; and the bodily resurrection of the unjust to judgment and everlasting punishment in the lake of fire.
