The Bible -- God's Word
Show
We believe that the 66 books of the Bible are the only authoritative, certain and inerrant, and infallible rule for faith and obedience. The inspired original manuscripts of these books were inerrant and infallible and God has so providentially preserved copies of the originals that reliable translations of these may be received as the very word of God itself for all doctrine and practice. 2Timothy 3:16,17; 2Peter 1:20,21; Isaiah 8:20; Psalm 119:105

The Trinity
Show
We believe in the Triune God, existing in three persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, co equal in power and glory. Deuteronomy 6:4; 2Corinthians 13:14 The Father planned all things from the beginning for His glory. Eph.1

The Person of Jesus Christ
Show
We believe that the Person of the Son, Jesus Christ, is God incarnate, perfect God and perfect man, sinless, born of a virgin, conceived by the Holy Spirit, to reveal God and redeem man. John 1:1,2; John 1:14; Matthew 1:23; Luke 1:35

The Work of Jesus Christ
Show
We believe that the Work of the Son was the vicarious atonement by the shedding of His blood on the cross for all who are called by God to salvation, thus propitiating the wrath of God. His bodily resurrection from the grave was proof of God's acceptance of Christ's sacrifice. The Son's present work is to intercede for believers at the throne of God. Romans 3:24,25; Ephesians 1:4 7; 1Peter 2:24; 1Peter 1:3 5; Romans 8:34

The Holy Spirit
Show
We believe that the Holy Spirit indwells all believers, that He is our teacher and guide into all truth, that He through grace sanctifies us to be more holy for God's glory. Romans 8:9; John 16:13; l Thessalonians 4:3; Hebrews 12:14

6 Day Creation
Show
We believe that in the beginning the Creation of all things was by the word of God’s power in six days. Genesis 1
|
Humankind
Show
We believe that Man was created in the image of God but voluntarily fell in sin thus corrupting his nature. All human beings are therefore totally depraved from birth without the ability to come to God apart from God's enabling. Genesis 1:26,27; Romans 3:23; Ephesians 2:1 5; Romans 5:12; John 6:65
|
Salvation
Show
We believe that Salvation is a new birth, initiated by the Holy Spirit in regeneration; it encompasses conversion, sanctification and ultimate glorification; it is the gift of eternal life based entirely on God's grace without man's works or efforts; eternal and dependent solely on the finished work of Christ and made accessible through faith alone. 2Corinthians 5:18; John 1:12,13; 3:3,16; Ephesians 2:8,9
|
The End Times
Show
We believe in a Final Consummation of all things by a bodily resurrection of all men: the saved to eternal life in heaven with God, the lost to eternal death in hell apart from God. l Corinthians 15:50 58; Revelation 20:11 15; 22:14,15
