Basic Beliefs
God
We believe God exists eternally in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. These three are one God. We believe God created the universe by His Power and Word and is all knowing, all powerful and ever present.
Jesus Christ
We believe Jesus Christ is God’s Son. He was born of a virgin as both God and man, lived a sinless life, died for the sins of all human beings, was buried, arose from the grave, ascended into heaven and will come again personally, visibly and bodily to reign as Lord.
The Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is the divine helper, assistant, counselor and instructor and His work is to reveal Christ, convict of sin, lead to repentance, guide believers, comfort, strengthen, and sanctify the soul.
The Bible
The Bible is the divinely inspired Word of God. It contains no errors in the original manuscripts and preserved by God for us; that it is authoritative for this church and each of us for every age.
Salvation
We believe that Jesus, through His death on the cross, provided salvation for all. However, to receive salvation one must repent of sin and trust Jesus Christ alone. The true believer is eternally secure and cannot lose his salvation. He may, however, lose his joy by sin and bring the loving discipline of the Father upon himself.
All who have received Christ will at death depart to be with Christ in their spirits and at Christ’s return receive a new body which will be like His glorious body.
Baptism
Baptism is by immersion after salvation and is done in obedience to Jesus Christ’s command Baptism symbolizes the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ and the new life we have in Him.
Access to God
Each believer has direct access to God through the Lord Jesus Christ.
The Church
The church is a local body of baptized believers with the Lord Jesus Christ as the Head.
