We Believe
The Bible (the original writing}, in its entirety, is God's revealed Word, inerrantly inspired by
the Holy Spirit, and infallibly authoritative for all who submit to the Lordship of Jesus Christ.
- That there is one God, the Creator and Sustainer of all life, eternally existent in three persons:
Father, Son and Holy Spirit. - In the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ; in His virgin birth, true humanity, and sinless life; in His
miracles; in His substitutionary death and shed blood on the cross for man's sins; in His bodily
resurrection from the dead; in His ascension and exaltation to the right hand of the Father where
He presently reigns as Lord and High Priest. - That all people are born with a sinful nature and manifest the fruit of that nature early in life;
man's only hope of salvation is through repentance toward God and faith in Jesus Christ for the
forgiveness of sins. - In water baptism by immersion as the believer's confession of crucifixion, burial, and
resurrection with Jesus Christ and co-union with Him. - In the baptism of the Holy Spirit as the Father's promise for all believers, empowering them for
witness and ministry through the supernatural gifts of the Holy Spirit. - In God's call to a holy life separated from sin and corrupted values of the world, and to a life
of growth in the character and ministry of Christ our Lord. - In the Lord's Supper as a remembrance or our deliverance from sin and as an expression of our
shared life and our communion with Him as Lord and Christ. - In the personal return of Jesus Christ and the consummation of this age; in the resurrection of the
dead and in His judgment of all mankind; the righteous will inherit new heavens and a new earth,
the unrighteous will be banished to eternal punishment.
