Our Beliefs
-
We believe that the Bible is God’s perfect, inspired and holy word, which is our final authority in all matters. We believe that God has preserved His word without error and that we have God’s word today.
-
We believe that there is one living and true God, who is the Creator and sustainer of the universe. We believe that God is three in one: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.
-
We believe that Jesus Christ is God manifest in the flesh, and that He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, and died on the cross for the sins of all mankind. We believe that He was buried and rose again on the third day, that He ascended to Heaven, where He presently sits on the right hand of God the Father, and that He is coming again to receive His church and establish His earthly kingdom.
-
We believe that the Holy Spirit convicts the unbeliever of sin and judgment, leading to repentance and salvation; that He bears witness to the truth of the gospel in preaching and testimony; and that He seals, empowers, guides, teaches, witnesses, sanctifies and helps the believer to live as they submit themselves to the will of God in their lives.
-
We believe that all men and women are born as sinners, and that the punishment for sin is death and an eternal sentence to hell. We believe that salvation is available to all who believe in the atonement of sin through the death of Jesus Christ on the cross. There is no saving merit in any other person, belief or work. The blood of Jesus Christ is the only acceptable payment for sin.
