We affirm these Biblical truths
Our faith is based solely on the Bible and centers on the gospel of Jesus Christ which offers hope to the entire world. We believe in the countless promises that God set out in His Word: words of life, peace, justice, love and forgiveness.
GOD
There is one God, Creator of all things, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Matthew 3:16, 17; 28:19; John 17
THE WORD OF GOD
The Bible is the inspired, infallible and authoritative Word of God.
2 Timothy 3:16; Hebrews 4:12; 1 Peter I:23-25; 2 Peter 1:19-21
THE LORD JESUS CHRIST
Christ is God incarnate; He is fully divine and fully human. He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, and performed many miraculous works.
Luke 1:26-38; John 14:1-3; Acts 2:26, Acts 3:14-15; Philippians 2:5-11
UNIVERSAL SIN
In his natural state, man is a sinner; lost, undone, without hope, and without God.
Romans 3:19-23; Galatians 3:22; Ephesians 2:1, 2, 12
SALVATION
The repentant sinner is saved through heartfelt faith in the blood that Jesus shed for our sins on the cross, resulting in forgiveness of our sins and regeneration of the individual.
Acts 3:19-20; Romans 5:1; Ephesians 2:8-10
THE HOLY SPIRIT
The Holy Spirit’s purpose in God’s redemptive plan is to convict people of sin, regenerate repentant believers, and bestow gifts on believers, as He wills, in order to equip them for service in the Kingdom.
John 16:4-15; Romans 8:9-11; 1 Corinthians 12:12-30; Ephesians 1:13-18
CHRIST’S RETURN
Christ ascended to the right hand of God after His death and resurrection. He will bodily return to this earth in power and glory to judge the world and take His children to spend eternity with Him in heaven.
Acts 1:10-11; I Thessalonians 4:13-18; 2 Thessalonians 1:7-10; James 5:8, Revelation 1:7
HEAVEN AND HELL
The Scriptures clearly set forth the doctrines of eternal punishment for the lost and eternal bliss for the saved; hell for the unsaved and heaven for the saved.
Matthew 5:34, 41, 46; Luke 16:19-31; John 14:1-3; Revelation 20:11-15
BAPTISM AND COMMUNION
