Beliefs
Bible
We believe the Bible as our main authority. All doctrines and principles by which we govern our lives come from the verbal, complete, and total inspiration of the Holy Scriptures (The Old & New Testaments). (2 Tim 3:16; 2 Peter 1:21).
Godhead
We believe in the Holy Trinity. One God that eternally exists in 3 persons. God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. They each have distinctly different roles but are in full cooperation with one another. God the Father is the Creator, God the Son is the Redeemer, and God the Holy Spirit is the Comforter and Sanctifier or the one who sets apart.
We believe that in each role, all three members are present and actively involved. (Genesis 1:1-2; Job 26:13; Matthew 3:16-17; John 1:1-3; 1 John 5:7)
Man
We believe that God created man in His likeness and image.
We believe God created both male and female. Unfortunately Adam’s sin in the garden brought on the curse of a sin nature for all of mankind. This sin was enough to separate man from God for eternity. No sacrifice, good deeds, or traditions will ever be able to pay the price for man’s sin. The penalty of sin is death, separation from God forever. (Genesis 1:1; Genesis 1:27; Romans 5:12-21; Romans 3:23; Romans 6:23a)
Salvation
We believe that Jesus came from Heaven, was born of a virgin, lived a perfect life, offered Himself as a sacrifice on the cross, and resurrected from the grave as the payment for man’s sin. There is no other way for man’s relationship to be restored with God outside of believing in the death, burial, and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. Salvation by grace through faith in Jesus Christ is the only way to Heaven.
We believe once you’re saved, you’re always saved. There is no way to lose your salvation. (Isaiah 53:5-6; John 3:16; John 10:27-29; Romans 5:8; Romans 6:23; Romans 10:13; Ephesians 2:8-9; Ephesians 4:29; Hebrews 10:9-13; 1 Peter 2:24; )
Church
We believe in the local New Testament Church that was established by Jesus Christ. The purpose of the Church is to make disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ. (Matthew 28:18-20)
​
We believe that Jesus is the head of the Church, and that the Church has the right to govern itself. (2 Corinthians 8:1-2; Colossians 1:18)
​
We believe that there are only Two Ordinances the Church is required to observe: Baptism (Water Baptism by Immersion) & The Lord’s Supper. (Matthew 28:19-20; Acts 8:36-39; 1 Corinthians 11:23-30)
​
We believe that there are Two Offices in the Church: Bishop (Pastor) & Deacon. (1 Timothy 3:1, 1 Timothy 3:13, Philippians 1:1)
End Times
Second Coming Of Christ:
We believe that one day Christ will return. (Acts 1:11; 1 Thessalonians 4:14-16)
​
Rapture:
We believe in the bodily resurrection of the dead. The believer will be resurrected to everlasting blessedness and joy with the Lord in Heaven. The unbeliever to judgment and everlasting conscious punishment in Hell. (Matthew 25:41-46; Luke 16:23; John 14:2-3; I Corinthians 15:51-55; I Thessalonians 4:17; Revelation 21:4; Revelation 20:11-15)
