What We Believe
What We Believe
About God
We believe that there is only one living and true God, infinite in every excellence, Maker and supreme ruler of heaven and earth, inexpressibly glorious in holiness and worthy of all worship, confidence, and love.
Exodus 15:11, 20:2-3; Revelation 4:11
We believe that within the unity of the Godhead there are three persons: The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit. Each is equal in every Divine perfection and executes distinct but harmonious offices.
Matthew 28:19; John 15:26; 1 Corinthians 12:4–6; Ephesians 2:18; 2 Corinthians 3:14
What We Believe
About The Bible
We believe that the Holy Bible, as originally written, is the collection of sixty-six books from Genesis to Revelation, which not only contains and conveys the Word of God but is the very Word of God.
We believe that the Holy Bible was inspired and the product of God through spirit-controlled men. By inspired, we mean that Holy Men of Old wrote the books of the Bible as the Holy Spirit moved them. They were moved in such a definite way that their writings were supernaturally inspired and free from error, as no other writings have ever been or ever will be.
2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:19-21; Acts 1:16 & 28-25; Psalm 119:105, 130, & 160;
Luke 24:25-27, 44 & 45; John 17:17
What We Believe
About Sin & Salvation
We believe that all men are by nature utterly void of the righteousness required by the law of God and definitely inclined to evil. We believe that man is under just condemnation without defense or excuse and that man’s only hope of eternal life is through redemption in Jesus Christ.
Romans 3:11; Galatians 3:22; Ephesians 2:1-3; Psalm 40:12; Romans 1:19-20, 2:1, 12-15; 3:9-20, 23; John 3:3, 5; Acts 4:12; Ephesians 2:8-9; Galatians 3:26
We believe that the salvation of sinners is wholly of God’s grace and through the mediatorial offices of the Son of God, who by appointment of the Father, voluntarily took upon Him the form of a man, was tempted in all points as we are yet without sin in nature or deed, honored the Divine Law by His personal obedience, and by His death made a full and vicarious atonement for our sins.
Ephesians 2:8-9; Acts 15:11; Romans 3:24-25; John 3:16; Matthew 18:11;
Philippians 2:7-8; Hebrews 2:14 & 4:15; Romans 3:25; 1 John 4:10; Isaiah 53.6;
1 Corinthians 15:3; 2 Corinthians 5:21
What We Believe
About Baptism
We believe Christian baptism is the immersion in water of a believer in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
Acts 8:36-39; Matthew 3:6 & 16; John 3:23; Romans 6:4-5
It is to show forth in a solemn testimony and picture of our faith in the crucified, buried, and risen Savior, with its effect in our death to sin and resurrection to a new life.
Matthew 28:19; Romans 6:3 & 5; Colossians 2:12
What We Believe
About Communion
We believe that the Lord’s Supper is the commemoration of our Lord’s death until He comes, by the sacred use of broken bread and the freshly pressed juice of the vine as symbols of the price he paid for us. This commemoration should be preceded always by solemn self-examination.
1 Corinthians 11:23–28
