Beliefs

What We Belive

The Bible

We believe the Bible—both the Old and New Testaments—to be the fully inspired word of God and the complete revelation of God’s will for humanity. We accept all it teaches, trust in all it promises, and strive to obey all it requires of God’s people.

God

We believe in one eternal God—holy, infinite, and immutable. God has one nature, essence, and substance, yet He lovingly manifests Himself in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Jesus Christ

We believe Jesus Christ is the Savior of all humanity. He is God incarnate—fully God & fully man. He was born of the virgin Mary, lived a sinless life, was crucified under Pontius Pilate, arose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of God the Father as our High Priest and Advocate.

The Holy Spirit

We believe God sent His Spirit to convict the world of sin & guilt and then to regenerate, sanctify & baptize sinners into union with Christ and adopt them as heirs in the family of God.

Sin

We believe all men were born with an inherited sin nature received from our common ancestor, Adam. We believe that because of his nature, man is a sinner by choice and is totally incapable of reforming himself or ceasing from his sin by his own power.

Salvation

We believe the only hope of deliverance for man is a total change of mind concerning his sinful condition and inability to change it and a turning to Jesus Christ as the only Savior. We believe that only through the substitutionary sacrifice of Christ on the cross can a man be delivered from his sin.
