“Hear, O Israel: the LORD our God is one LORD.”
(Deuteronomy 6:4)
We believe in the one ever-living, eternal God: infinite in power, holy in nature,
attributes and purpose, and possessing absolute, indivisible deity. This one
true God has revealed Himself as Father in creation, Son in redemption, and
Holy Spirit in regeneration.
“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for
reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness. That the man of God
may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.”
(2 Timothy 3:16-17)
We believe the Bible is the infallible Word of God and the authority for
salvation and Christian living.
“For in him [Jesus] dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.”
(Colossians 2:9)
We believe that Jesus Christ is God manifested in flesh. He
was born of a virgin and lived a sinless life. He was crucified at Calvary for our
sins. He was buried, but rose again on the third day, achieving victory over sin
for all of us. He will come again to receive His church back to Himself.
“Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the
name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of
the Holy Ghost.”
(Acts 2:38)
We believe that all men have sinned and must be
born again. This new birth experience consists of repentance, water baptism
by immersion in the name of Jesus Christ, and the infilling of the Holy Ghost
with the initial evidence of speaking in other tongues as the Spirit gives the
utterance.
“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed
away; behold, all things are become new.”
(2 Corinthians 5:17)
We believe in
the power of the Spirit to change lives, heal hurts, and restore hope.
“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to
every creature.”
(Mark 16:15)
The Church is designed to be the visible body of
Christ sent into the world to glorify God and proclaim the gospel of Jesus
Christ.
