What We Believe

We Believe:

1. That the Bible is the inspired and the only infallible, authoritative Word of God. It is the sole true standard for the believer’s life and practice.
   
   
2. That there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
   
   
3. In the humanity and deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, affirming the truth of the biblical account of His virgin birth, His sinless life, His teachings, and the miracles He performed during His ministry on earth. We also believe in His vicarious and atoning death on the cross, His bodily resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and His imminent and personal return in power and glory.
   
   
4. That man and woman were created in the image of God, were tempted by Satan and fell, and that the Bible clearly teaches that all have sinned and thus become sinful. Repentance toward God, faith in Jesus Christ, and regeneration by the Holy Spirit are absolutely necessary for salvation.
   
   
5. That it is God’s will for each believer to be sanctified through identification with Jesus Christ in His death and resurrection, and through the agency of the Holy Spirit, to be separated from the world of sin and fully consecrated to God’s will, thereby receiving power for holy living and effective service.
   
   
6. That all the gifts of the Holy Spirit are still available for the edification of God’s people and for making them effective witnesses in today’s world.
   
   
7. In prayer for the sick in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, as set forth in Mark 16:15-18, James 5:15, and John 16:24.
   
   
8. In the “blessed hope,” the personal return of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. We believe in the bodily resurrection of all men, each in their order: the saints to the resurrection of life, the lost to the resurrection of damnation.
   
   
9. That all believers should live lives of faith and wholehearted consecration to Christ and His Gospel, give themselves continually to prayer and intercession, and fulfill the Great Commission to go into the world and make disciples of all nations. We believe that God’s power is sufficient to meet every need.
   
   
10. In the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.
