Doctrinal Statement

  1. We believe that the Bible, in its entirety, is the inspired Word of God and the only infallible and authoritative rule of faith and conduct. (2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20)

  2. We believe in Christ’s great commission to the church to go into all the world and preach the Gospel. (Matthew 28:19)

  3. We believe in one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and that in Jesus Christ “dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.” (Colossians 2:9; Deuteronomy 6:4; John 10:30, 14:26, 15:26; Matthew 28:19)

  4. We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His vicarious and atoning death, His bodily resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and His personal return in power and glory. (1 Timothy 3:16; Acts 1:11; Romans 8:34)

  5. We believe in complete salvation by grace through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and obedience to the gospel by repentance of sins and baptism by immersion in water. (Ephesians 2:8; Acts 2:38)

  6. We believe in the present Ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life. (Hebrews 12:9-11; 1 Thessalonians 4:7,8; Romans 8:12,13)

  7. We believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in other tongues as the Spirit giveth utterance and in the manifestations of the Holy Spirit operative in the church of Jesus Christ. (Acts 2:38,39; Acts 19:6; 1 Corinthians 12:4-11)

  11. We believe that the church is the body of Christ and that each believer is an integral part. Through the new birth, believers are united together as the body of Christ. Jesus Christ is the Lord and head of the Church. (Ephesians 1:1-22; Ephesians 2:19-22; Hebrews 12:23)

  14. We believe in a final judgment in which the wicked dead will be raised and judged according to their works. Whoever’s name is not found written in the book of life will be cast into the lake of fire which is the second death. (Matthew 25:46; Mark 9:43-48; Revelations 19:20, 20:11-15, 21:8)
