Fundamentals of The Faith
We believe in God, The Father, Son, Holy Spirit (Trinity) and His Holy Word, the Bible, as God breathed (inspired), inerrant and infallible, as given in the original writings and that the Scriptures are the final authority in matters of faith, doctrine and practice. 2 Timothy 3:16
We believe that man was created by God, bearing the image of God and being accountable to his creator for his behavior. Genesis 1:27
We believe in the existence of sin, which results in alienation and separation from God and which leads to spiritual death unless covered with the blood of Jesus Christ. Romans 3:23
We believe in salvation by grace through faith in Christ that leads one to obey the gospel of Christ and walk in His teachings. Ephesians 2:1-10
We believe in the resurrection from the grave: that Jesus rose from the dead and that all will be called forth from the grave and judged upon His return. Luke 24:1-8; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; Revelation 20:11-15
We believe in heaven, a place that is being prepared for the faithful in the presence of God, Christ and the Holy Spirit, which is the eternal home of the spirits of just men made perfect. John 14:1-6
We believe in hell, a place of everlasting torment prepared for the devil and his angels, which is the destiny of all whose name is not found written in the Book of Life. Matthew 25:31-46
We believe in worship that is directed to God and which, to be accepted, must be offered sincerely from the heart according to the pattern established in God’s Word. John 4:19-24
We believe Christ is the divine Son of God and that He was born of a virgin, being supernaturally conceived in her womb by the Holy Spirit. Matthew 1:18-23
We believe Satan is a real, personal being who is the archenemy of God and mankind.
We believe Salvation is by means of obedience to the Gospel system, involving faith in God and Christ, repentance from sin, confession of faith, and immersion in water for remission of sins, coupled with a life of growing consecration and dedication. Acts 2:37-47; 1 Peter 3:20-22
We believe the leadership of a congregation is to be exercised by scripturally qualified male members. 1 Timothy 3:1-13
