In short, we believe:

  • That God created the heavens and the earth. (Genesis 1:1)
  • That God created man. (Genesis 1:27)
  • That man disobeyed (sinned) against God. (Genesis 3:6)
  • That God sent His son – Jesus – to pay for our sins. God offers us eternal life through His Son, Jesus Christ. (John 3:16)
  • All Scripture (the Bible) is inspired by God and useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. (2 Timothy 3:16)

More precisely: (from “About Us –> Corporation Bylaws ‘ARTICLE VI – ARTICLES OF FAITH’”)

  1. We believe the Holy Bible is the inspired Word of God, and is profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work.
  2. We believe in one God, eternally existing in three Persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
  3. We believe in the Virgin Birth of Jesus Christ, and that He is true God and man. He died on the cross for our sins. He rose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven where He sits at the right hand of the Father and is now our High Priest and Advocate.
  4. We believe that man was created in the image of God but fell into sin and was therefore lost. Only through regeneration by the work of the Holy Spirit can salvation and spiritual life be obtained.
  5. We believe that eternal salvation is the free gift of God, entirely apart from works, and is possessed by any and all who have faith in and receive Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior.
  6. We believe in a regenerated church membership: that is, persons old enough to understand their need for Jesus Christ and, of their own free will, accepted Him as their personal Lord and Savior.
  7. We believe that believer’s baptism and the Lord’s Supper are ordinances to be observed by the church in its present age. They are, however, not to be regarded as means for man’s salvation.
  8. We believe in the personal, bodily, imminent, and glorious return of the Lord Jesus Christ and that His Second Coming inspires believers for dynamic and zealous life and service for Him while waiting for His return.
  9. We believe in the bodily resurrection of the dead, the everlasting blessedness of the saved in heaven, and the everlasting punishment and separation from God of the unsaved in hell.
  10. We believe in the autonomy of the local church. The church shall manage its own affairs and shall not be subject to any other religious body or organization.
