What We Believe

1. We believe in the entire Old and New Testaments: all scriptures are inspired by God.

2. We believe in one God who consists of three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

3. We believe that Jesus was born of the virgin Mary. He is true God and true Man.

4. We believe that God created male and female in His own image. Due to the fall of man in Adam, every person has sinned; the penalty for this is spiritual and physical death.

5. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins. He took the punishment we deserve upon Himself.

6. We believe that all who repent of their sin, believe in Jesus and receive Him into their lives by faith are born again of the Holy Spirit. They are washed clean by the blood of Jesus and become children of God.

7. We believe that Jesus rose from the dead, ascended into heaven, and will return in person to judge the living and the dead.

8. We believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit who gives believers power to serve Jesus and to use His gifts. These gifts of the Spirit need to be accompanied by the fruit of a changing Christ-like lifestyle.

9. We believe that God gives spiritual gifts to every believer which are to be used to serve others and equip His people in order that the body of Christ may be built up.

10. We believe in the resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous. Those who do not become children of God will be eternally punished. Those who do become children of God will be eternally blessed.

11. We believe that the one true church consists of all those people, from whatever denomination, who have been truly saved by Jesus Christ and have been reborn by the Holy Spirit.

12. We believe that Jesus Christ gave two ordinances to be observed to remember Him and what He did for us: baptism and communion. We believe in baptism in water through full immersion.

13. We believe that as God healed in Biblical times, so He heals physically, mentally and spiritually today. He has not changed.

14. We believe that without holiness no one can see the Lord. Once we become a Christian the Holy Spirit begins to change our lives so that we become more and more like Jesus. This process takes time and we must obey Him as He works in us to be witnesses for Him to the end of the age.
