Our Beliefs...

We believe in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments as being verbally inspired and completely inerrant in the original writings and of supreme and final authority in faith and life.

We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

We believe that Jesus Christ in the flesh was both God and man, that He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, was crucified, and died as a payment for our sins and was raised from the dead bodily on the third day. Later He ascended to the Father's right hand where He is head of the church and intercedes for believers. We believe He is coming again personally, bodily, visibly to this earth to set up His millennial kingdom.

We believe that the Holy Spirit is a person, and as fully God possesses all the divine attributes. He indwells all believers, baptizes and seals all believers at the moment of their salvation, and fills them in response to confession of sin and yieldedness.

We believe that salvation, with its forgiveness of sins, its impartation of a new nature and its hope of eternal life, is entirely apart from good works, baptism, church membership - any of man's efforts - and is of pure grace.

We believe that a true believer is eternally secure, that he cannot lose his salvation, that sin may interrupt the joy of his fellowship with God and bring the loving discipline of his heavenly Father.

We believe that all who trust Christ become joint-heirs with Christ, and at death, depart to be with Him in conscious blessedness, and at the rapture their bodies will be raised to the likeness of the body of His glory and dwell forever in the divine presence of God.
