We Believe
in the inerrancy of Scripture, that the Bible, Old and New Testaments are the inspired and all sufficient, infallible, authoritative Word of God. Therefore, our ministry emphasizes the exposition of God's Word from Genesis to Revelation, line upon line, precept upon precept.
We Believe
that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
We Believe
that God is the personal, transcendent, and sovereign Creator of all things and that the opening chapters of Genesis present creation in six literal days.
We Believe
in the deity of Christ, that He is fully God and fully man, in His Virgin Birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His substitutionary atoning death upon the cross, in His literal, physical resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.
We Believe
in the Pretribulation Rapture of the church, the personal, pre-millennial, visible return of Christ to the Earth with His saints, and the establishment of His Millennial Kingdom.
We Believe
that for the salvation of lost and sinful humanity, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is essential, and that repentance from sin and faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior is the only way to come into a relationship with God.
We Believe
in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life; we further believe His power and gifts are available to believers today.
We Believe
in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they who are saved unto the resurrection of life, and they who are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.
We Believe
the Lord Jesus Christ committed two ordinances to the local Church: Baptism, and the Lord’s Supper. Therefore we practice baptism by immersion and the regular taking of Communion. We do not believe that either of these practices is essential for salvation, but that they are commanded as a demonstration of our living faith in Christ.
We Believe
that Marriage was instituted by God at creation and ordained to be between one man and one woman for life, and that the modern trend toward same sex marriages is contrary to the Scriptures. Therefore this church recognizes marriage as exclusively the legal union of one man and one woman.
We Believe
that sexual activities such as, but not limited to, adultery, fornication, incest, homosexuality, and bestiality are contrary to the teachings of the Scripture, and that the only legitimate sexual relations are between one man and one woman exercised solely within the confines of marriage.
