We affirm our faith in God the Father Almighty, the Creator of all that is seen and unseen. With the Son, and the Holy Spirit, He made both male and female in His image. By intention He relates to people as Father, therby forever declaring His goodwill toward them. In love, He both seeks and receives penitent sinners.
We believe in Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God. He was conceived by the Holy Spirt and born of the Virgin Mary. He is truly God and truly man. He died on the cross and was buried, to be a sacrifice both for original sin and for all human transgressions, and to reconcile us to God. Christ rose bodily from the dead, and ascended into heaven, and there intercedes for us at the Father's right hand until he returns to judge all humanity on the last day.
We believe in the Holy Spirit who proceeds from the Father and the Son, and is of the same essential nature, and majesty as the Father and the Son, truly eternally God. He is the Administrator of grace to all and is particularly the effective Agent in conviction for sin, in regeneration, in santification, and in glorification. He is ever present, assuring, preserving, guiding, and enabling the believer.
We affirm that God inspired the original Scriptures, rendering them without error.
The Bible stands as the ultimate authority on matters of faith, truth, morality, and Christian conduct.
It teaches that God, as the Creator and Sustainer of life, endows each individual with inherent sanctity from conception to natural death.
Man, formed by God's hand, chose to rebel against Him, thus falling into a state of spiritual separation and hopelessness apart from Jesus Christ.
Salvation, the cleansing of sins, is solely attained through the unmerited favor bestowed by Jesus Christ's sacrificial blood. One embraces salvation by placing faith in Christ, turning away from sin, openly acknowledging Christ, and obeying the Biblical command of baptism.
Those who have experienced salvation through faith in Jesus Christ are commissioned to spread the Gospel and emulate Christ's love and service to the building of His kingdom.
We affirm the Church of Jesus Christ, inaugurated on the Day of Pentecost, comprising of all believers worldwide and structured into local congregations known as churches.
We believe the Bible instructs every Christian to actively participate in a local church community.
According to the Bible, church members are directed to:
Gather regularly for fellowship, worship, teaching, and communion.
Utilize their talents and spiritual gifts to serve one another.
Demonstrate love, patience, acceptance, and forgiveness towards others.
Pursue unity, harmony, and peace within the church.
Share each other's burdens and uphold one another in prayer.
Encourage one another towards acts of love and righteousness.
Pursue personal holiness and obedience to God's Word.
Work together to fulfill the Great Commission of spreading the Gospel.
