We believe that
the Holy Bible was written by
men divinely inspired and is the
record of God's revelation of
Himself to man.
We believe that
there is only one true and living
God without division of nature,
essence, or being but who reveals
Himself to us in three distinct
Persons Father, Son, and Holy
Spirit.
We believe that
God the Father is Father in truth
to those who become children of
God through faith in Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ is the eternal Son
of God, who was made provision
for the redemption of mankind
from sin, and will return in power
and glory to judge the world and
to consummate His redemptive mission.
The Holy Spirit is the Spirit
of God who exalts Christ, convicts
of sin, righteousness and judgment.
We believe salvation
involves the redemption of the
whole man, and is offered freely
to all who accept Jesus Christ
as Lord and Savior, who by His
own blood obtained eternal redemption
for the believer.
We believe that
the church is a local body of
baptized believers of the Lord
Jesus Christ who are associated
by covenant in the faith and fellowship
of the gospel, observing the two
ordinances of Christ, committed
to His teachings, exercising the
gifts, rights, and privileges
invested in them by His Word,
and seeking to extend the gospel
to the ends of the earth.
We believe that
Christian baptism is the immersion
of a believer in water in the
name of the Father, the Son, and
the Holy Spirit. It is an obedient
act symbolizing the believer's
faith in a crucified, buried,
and risen Savior, the believer's
death to sin, the burial of the
old life, and the resurrection
to walk in newness of life in
Christ Jesus.
The Lord's Supper is a symbolic
act of obedience whereby members
of the church, through partaking
of the bread and the fruit of
the vine, remember the death of
the Redeemer and anticipate His
second coming. |
