We Believe
There is One Triune God Who created the heavens and the earth: the Father, the Word and the Holy Spirit, all manifest bodily in the Lord Jesus Christ (Genesis 1: 1 - 31; Ephesians 4: 4 - 6; 1 Corinthians 8: 6; 1 John 5: 7; Colossians 2: 8 - 9; 1 Timothy 3: 16)
The Bible is the Inspired Word of God and is the only authority for doctrine, for reproof, for correction and for instruction in righteousness. (2 Timothy 3: 16 - 17; 2 Peter 1: 20 - 21)
Jesus Christ is both God the Word and the Son of God, born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died a substitutionary death, rose again by the power of God the Father, physically ascended into heaven and is coming again in the fulness of time as Redeemer and Judge. (John 1: 1 - 14; Matthew 1: 18 - 23; Hebrews 4: 15; 2 Corinthians 5: 21; Romans 6: 3 - 9; Acts 1: 9 - 11; 1 Thessalonians 4: 14 - 18; Revelations 20: 11 - 15).
Salvation is by the non-earned grace and kindness of God through faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ. It is not earned, in that there is nothing that we can do to make God owe anything to us, yet it is on the condition of a repentant heart believing that Christ died for the forgiveness of our sins and rose again setting us free to walk in newness of life. (John 3: 16 - 17; Ephesians 2: 4 - 9; John 5: 1 - 13; Romans 6: 1 - 23).
We believe that God established the Church for the preaching of the Gospel and the discipleship of believers in the doctrines and life of the Lord Jesus Christ. (Matthew 28: 18 - 20; Romans 11: 14 - 17).
