BELIEFS

Threefold Godhead

That there is only one God, who has revealed Himself in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

Lordship of Christ

In the absolute Lordship and deity of Christ including His preexistence, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His atoning death, His bodily resurrection, and His return to the earth in glory and power to consummate His eternal kingdom.

Holy Scriptures

In the inerrancy, authority, reliability, and divine inspiration of the Holy Bible.

Local Church

The Great Commission

That the great tasks of the Church are worldwide evangelism and equipping the saints.

New Birth

That entrance into the Church is through the “new birth” which is brought about by genuine repentance of sin and confession of faith in Christ as Lord and Savior.

Church Membership

That membership in the Church is signified by baptism and the joyful participation in its worship, fellowship, sacraments, witness, and acceptance of its discipline.

Holy Spirit

That the ministry of the Holy Spirit is an essential component of effective Christian life and witness.

Healing

That Christ purchased bodily healing for every believer at Calvary and this healing should be appropriated by faith.

Christ is Triumphant

In the reality of Satan and of the kingdom of darkness over which he reigns and of the absolute triumphs of Christ over the devil and all his works.

Life of Christ

In the death, resurrection, and ascension of Christ as witnessed by the scriptures.

Christ’s Return

In the resurrection of the dead at Christ’s return, in the certainty of God’s judgment, and in the inescapable result of the judgment foretold in the scriptures for both the just and the unjust.
