    WE BELIEVE:

    o   that the Bible is the inspired word of God and the final authority in life and doctrine (II Timothy 3:16-17) . . . a lamp unto our feet and light unto our path (Psalm 119:105).

    o   that there is one God, eternally existing in three persons (Romans 8, Ephesians 1:13-14). 

    o   in the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ (John1:1), His virgin birth (Matthew 1:18), His sinless life (2 Corinthians 5:21), His miracles (Acts 10:38), His vicarious death as the only sacrifice for the sin of the world (1 John 2:2), His bodily resurrection from the dead (Luke 24:39), His ascension to the right hand of God as our intercessor (Hebrews 4:14), and His future return in glory, first to rapture His church (1 Thessalonians 4:16-18) and second, to establish the kingdom of God upon the earth (Revelation 20:6).  

    o   that Jesus Christ is the one and only Son of God who died for our sins and rose from the dead and is the only mediator through whose work we are redeemed. “He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, and no one can come to the Father except through Him” (I Corinthians 15:1-8, John 14:6, Acts 4:10-12).

    o   that every person has worth as a creation of God, but that all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23).

    o   that salvation is a free gift of God, and we are saved by Grace, through faith in Jesus Christ (Ephesians 2:8-9, Romans 6:23). 

    o   that forgiveness of sins and the promise of eternal life are available to those who trust in Christ as Savior and Lord (John 3:16). 

    o   that those accepting Christ should repent of sin, confess their faith, and be baptized into Him (Romans 10:9, Acts 2:38).

    o   that God gives His Holy Spirit to dwell in the lives of “born again” believers as a guarantee of our inheritance and salvation through Jesus (Acts 2:38, II Corinthians 1:22, Ephesians 1:14).

    o   in the process of spiritual development (sanctification) wrought in the believer’s life by the Holy Spirit.  The growth involves daily dying to sin and living unto righteousness (Romans 6:1-23), finds expression in a holy life (Hebrews 12:24) and will be culminated at the return of Christ (1 John 3:2). 

    o   that the church is the body of Christ on earth, empowered by the Holy Spirit to continue the tasks of reaching the lost and discipling the saved, helping them to become fully devoted followers of Christ (Ephesians 4:1-16, Matthew 28:19-20). 

    o   that every member of the body is a minister; the Elders/Shepherds and church staff are to help equip the members for their ministry (I Peter 2:5, Ephesians 4:11-12). 

    o   in divine healing for the total man, spirit, mind and body and that this healing is accomplished in the redemptive work of Christ on the cross and appropriated in the believer’s life through prayer (Isaiah 53:5, Matthew 8:17, 1 Peter 2:24, James 5:13-15).

    o   that Jesus Christ will one day return and that all those who have been saved will be with the Lord forever in eternity (I Thessalonians 4:13-18).
