DECLARATION OF FAITH
- We believe in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments of the Bible as inspired by God and inerrant, and that they are supreme and final authority in faith and life.
- We believe in one God, eternally existing in three Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
- We believe that Jesus Christ was begotten by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary and is true God and true man.
- We believe that man was created in the image of God; that he sinned, and thereby incurred not only physical death, but also that spiritual death which is separation from God; and, that all human beings are born with a sinful nature, and in the case of those who reach moral responsibility become sinners in thought, word, and deed.
- We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins, according to the Scriptures, as a representative and substitutionary sacrifice, and that all who believe in Him are justified because of His shed Blood.
- We believe in the resurrection of the crucified body of our Lord, in His ascension into Heaven, and in His present life there as High Priest and Advocate for us.
- We believe in the personal and imminent return of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
- We believe that all who receive the Lord Jesus Christ by faith are born again of the Holy Spirit, and thereby become children of God.
- We believe that the immersion of the believer in water is the only Scriptural baptism.
- We believe that the communion of the Lord’s Supper is a privilege peculiar only to those who are believers in Christ, and is open to members and non-members of our church.
- We believe that the New Testament order of a Gospel Church is a body of baptized believers, independent, self-governing, voluntarily associated together for the service of God, observing the ordinances of Christ, and governed by His laws.
- We believe in the bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust, the everlasting blessedness of the saved, and the everlasting punishment of the lost.
