Who We Are

The Essentials Of Our Faith...

‍

The Bible

The scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the complete, divinely, inspired, infallible Word of God.  The Bible is the supreme authority and guide for our Christian faith and living

The Godhead

There is one God, eternally existent in three persons:  Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

The Father

The first person of the Godhead orders and directs all things according to His own purpose and pleasure. He authored, created, and sustains all things in the universe without any means other than His own pure power. By His grace He involves Himself in the affairs of men, hears and answers prayers, and save all that come to Him through Jesus Christ.

‍

The Son

The second person of the Godhead existed eternally as the Son of God.  He is co-equal with the Father.  By His virgin birth He came to earth as fully God and fully man, living a sinless life.  His death on the cross, paid for man’s sin.  He arose on the third day, and He physically ascended to the right hand of God the Father, and He will return in power and glory.

The Holy Spirit

The third person of the Godhead convicts men of sin, regenerates, baptizes, indwells, instructs, and sets apart believers for a holy life.  We encourage all believers to seek a life of obedience to the leadership of the Holy Spirit.  We believe this step is essential for empowering believers for victorious living and ministry through the gifts given by the Holy Spirit.

The Nature of Man

Man was directly created in God’s image, voluntarily fell into sin by personal disobedience to the will of God; consequently, all men are spiritually dead apart from Jesus Christ.  The fall of man was a once-for-all historical fact.  Its effect is spread to all men, meaning that everyone is born with a sinful nature and needs salvation.

Salvation

Salvation is by grace, a gift of God apart from works.  Salvation requires Belief; belief that Jesus died, rose again, and is alive today.  Salvation requires Faith; placing one’s trust in Jesus as Savior.  All who receive Jesus Christ are saved, regenerated by the Holy Spirit, and become the children of God once and for all time.  We will manifest true salvation by a changed life.

End Times

Jesus Christ will physically and visibly return to earth for the second time to establish His Kingdom.  This will occur at a date undisclosed by the Scriptures.

To sum it up…

We believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.

We believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord.  He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
