Our Beliefs
We Believe...
- The Scriptures, both Old and New
Testaments, to be the inspired Word of God, without error in the
original writings, the complete revelation of His will for the
salvation of men and the Divine and final authority Christian faith and
life.
- In one God, Creator of all things,
infinitely perfect and eternally existing in three persons:
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
- That Jesus Christ is true God and true
man, having been conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin
Mary. He died on the cross, a sacrifice for our sins according to
the Scriptures. Further, He arose bodily from the dead, ascended
into heaven, where, at the right hand of the Majesty on High, He is now
our High Priest and Advocate.
- That the ministry of the Holy Spirit is
to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ and, during this age, to convict men,
regenerate the believing sinner, and indwell, guide, instruct and
empower the believer for godly living and service.
- That man was created in the image of God
but fell into sin and is, therefore, lost, and only through
regeneration by the Holy Spirit can salvation and spiritual life be
obtained.
- That the shed blood of Jesus Christ and
His resurrection provide the only ground for justification and
salvation for all who believe, and only such as receive Jesus Christ
are born of the Holy Spirit and, thus become children of God.
- That water baptism and the Lord's Supper
are ordinances to be observed by the Church during the present
age. They are, however, not to be regarded as a means of
salvation.
- That the true Church is composed of all
such persons who through saving faith in Jesus Christ have been
regenerated by the Holy Spirit and are united together in the Body of
Christ of which He is the Head.
- That only those who are, thus, members of the true Church shall be eligible for membership in the local church.
- That Jesus Christ is the Lord and Head
of the Church and that every local church has the right, under Christ,
to decide and govern its own affairs.
- In the personal premillennial and
imminent coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and that his "Blessed Hope"
has a vital bearing on the personal life and service of the believer.
- In the bodily resurrection of the dead,
of the believer to everlasting blessedness and joy with the Lord; of
the unbeliever to judgment and everlasting conscious punishment.
