1. We believe the Bible is the only word of God, the final authority for faith and life, infallible and God-breathed.
2. We believe there is one God, eternally existent in three persons; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
3. We believe in the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, sinless life, miracles, substitutional death on the cross, His bodily resurrection, and His ascension to the Father.
4. We believe that Satan is a person, the author of sin; that he is the enemy of God and man; and, that he will be eternally punished in the Lake of Fire.
5. We believe that regeneration by the Holy Spirit is essential for the salvation of sinful man; and that He is the Supernatural Agent in placing all believers into the family of God, indwelling and sealing them unto the day of redemption.
6. We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and lost, the saved to eternal life in heaven, the lost to hell.
7. We believe Jesus Christ will return in power and glory.
8. We believe that the church is the best vehicle to carry out God's plan for evangelism, discipleship, and Christian fellowship, and that scriptural baptism is the identifying mark that welcomes believers into a local fellowship and publicly professes their faith.
9. We believe the "Great Commission" of the Church is to go into all the world and preach the Gospel of Christ to every person, baptizing and teaching those who believe.
10. We believe that man in his natural state is depraved and doomed to hell, and that only the reconciliatory work of Jesus Christ can change that. Salvation is by grace - realized and personalized by faith in God's work, and can not be achieved by any effort on man's part. |
