What We Believe
Mission Statement:
​
"From our homes, to our streets, to the nations: Make disciples of Jesus!"
​
Concerning Scripture
We believe the Scriptures of the Old and New Testament as verbally inspired of God and inerrant in the
original writings, and that they are of supreme and final authority.
​
Concerning the Trinity
We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, three in one, co-equal,
which is the Trinity.
Concerning Jesus
We believe that Jesus Christ was begotten of God, conceived of the Holy Spirit, and born of the Virgin Mary. We
believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures as a representative and
substitutionary sacrifice. We believe in the resurrection of the crucified body of our Lord, His ascension into
heaven and His present life there as High Priest and Advocate for all believers. We believe in that “blessed
hope,” the personal, premillenial, and imminent return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Concerning The Holy Spirit
We believe in the Holy Spirit, one of the three persons of the Trinity, who convicts the world of sin, of
righteousness, and of judgment. He is the life of every believer, and He empowers the preaching and teaching
of the gospel.
Concerning Mankind
We believe that man was created in the image of God, that he sinned, and thereby incurred not only physical
death, but spiritual death, which is separation from God, and that all human beings are born with a sinful
nature and those who reach moral responsibility become sinners in thought, word and deed.
Concerning Salvation
We believe that all who receive by faith the Lord Jesus Christ are born again of the Holy Spirit, and thereby,
they become children of God, and heirs of eternal life. This is a relationship in which they are eternally secure.
We believe in the bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust, the everlasting conscious punishment of the
lost in hell, and the everlasting blessedness of the saved in heaven.
​
Concerning Satan
We believe in the existence of a personal devil, who is still working in the world to destroy the souls of men
and that he and all his angels and all who receive not Christ as their Savior will eternally perish in the lake of
fire.
​
Concerning the Church
We believe in the Church, the Body of Christ, whose mission it is to preach the Gospel to all the world, all of its
endeavors being supported by God’s financial plan of the “Tithe and Offering.”
Concerning Baptism and Communion
We believe that the ordinances of the Church, given by our Lord, are Baptism and the Lord’s Table
