OUR BELIEFS

We believe in the basic cardinal doctrines of the Christian faith such as:

  • Inerrancy of Scripture

  • The Virgin Birth of Jesus Christ

  • The sinless life of Jesus Christ

  • The sacrificial death and Blood Atonement of Jesus Christ

  • Salvation is a gift from God, by grace alone, through faith alone in The Lord Jesus Christ alone.

  • The bodily Resurrection of Jesus Christ

  • The bodily and visible return of Jesus Christ

I. THE DEITY AND LORDSHIP OF JESUS CHRIST 

Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God and the second Person of the triune Godhead. (Philippians 2:5-11) 

II. THE ABSOLUTE NECESSITY OF THE NEW BIRTH 

The new birth (salvation) redeems a soul, initiates a personal relationship with God through the indwelling of The Holy Spirit. (John 3:3,5,7) 

III. SALVATION BY GRACE ALONE, THROUGH FAITH ALONE, IN CHRIST ALONE 

There is nothing an individual contributes to his salvation except to receive by faith the grace of God and the gift of salvation. (Ephesians 2:8-9) 

IV. PRIESTHOOD, EQUALITY AND COMPETENCY OF ALL BELIEVERS 

Every child of God has direct access to God through prayer and is directly responsible to God, and accountable to the church for his actions. (Revelation 1:5-6) 

V. THE SALVATION PRESERVATION OF ALL BELIEVERS 

A person born of God’s Holy Spirit is saved, sealed and safe forever from eternal separation from God. (I Peter 1:5; Romans 8:28-39)

VI. THE BIBLE: THE SOLE AUTHORITY FOR FAITH AND PRACTICE 

The Bible is the complete, inerrant, infallible word of God. (II Timothy 3:16 -17) 

VII. AUTONOMY AND THEOCRACY OF THE LOCAL CHURCH 

The head of the church is Christ and the local church is independent of any outside control. (Matthew 18:15-17; Acts 13:1-3; Acts 15:1-35; I Corinthians 5:1-13; II Corinthians 8, 9) 

VII. BELIEVER'S BAPTISM BY IMMERSION 

Baptism is an ordinance of the Church and is administered by immersion following a salvation experience. Water Baptism is not essential to salvation but symbolizes the meaning of salvation. (It is a picture of the death, burial and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ) (Romans 6:4)

IX. SYMBOLISM OF THE LORD'S SUPPER 

The Lord's Supper is another ordinance of the church. Its practice and elements symbolize the body and blood of Jesus Christ. 

(I Corinthians 11:23 -26) 

X. SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE 

The state will not exercise any control over the church nor will the church assert any legislative control over government. (Matthew 22:15 -22) 

XI. EVANGELISM OF THE WORLD THE SUPREME TASK OF THE CHURCH 

It is the responsibility of every Christian and church to spread the gospel of Christ. (Matthew 28:19-20)
