We believe that the Bible (sixty-six books of OT & NT) was supernaturally inspired by God. All its words are the written true revelation of God; it is therefore inerrant in the originals and authoritative in all matters. It is to be understood by all through the illumination of the Holy Spirit.

 

We believe that there is one infinite God, Spirit, Creator, and Sustainer of all things, who exists eternally in three persons, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. These three are one in essence but distinct in person and function.

 

We believe that God created all things. The universe was created in six historical days and is continuously sustained by God; thus it both reflects His glory and reveals His truth. Human beings were directly created, not evolved, in the very image of God. As reasoning moral agents, they are responsible under God for understanding and governing themselves and the world.

 

We believe that man was created in the image of God; that he sinned and thereby incurred not only physical death, but also spiritual death which is separation from God and that, as a consequence, all mankind is declared by God to be totally depraved, having inherited a sinful nature and having become sinners in thought, word, and deed.

 

We believe Jesus Christ, the son of God, offered Himself as a sacrifice by the appointment of the Father. He fulfilled the demands of God by His obedient life, died on the cross in full substitution and payment for the sins of all, was buried, and on the third day He arose physically and bodily from the dead. He ascended into heaven where He now intercedes for all believers.

 

We believe that each person can be saved only through the work of Jesus Christ, through repentance of sin and by faith alone in Him as Savior. The believer is declared righteous, born again by the Holy Spirit, turned from sin, and assured of heaven. The Holy Spirit indwells all who are born again conforming them to the likeness of Jesus Christ. Every believer is responsible to live in obedience to the Word of God in separation from sin.

 

Finally, we believe that the Lord Jesus Christ will return to this earth personally, visibly, and bodily, to receive unto Himself the Church, which is His Body.  The believer and unbeliever will be resurrected bodily in their own order: the saved unto everlasting bliss; the lost unto everlasting and conscious punishment.
