We Believe…
- In the Divine inspiration of the Bible (both Old and New Testaments) and that it is plenary (comprehensive) and infallible.
- In the Godhead, existing in Three Persons: Namely, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
- That Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of God, conceived of the Holy Spirit, and born of the Virgin Mary. That Jesus was crucified, buried and raised from the dead; that He ascended to Heaven and is today at the right hand of the Father as the Intercessor.
- That all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God, and that repentance is commanded of God for all and necessary for forgiveness of sins.
- That justification, regeneration and the new birth, through faith in the Blood of Christ, comes through the Word and the Holy Spirit.
- In sanctification subsequent to the new birth through faith in the Blood of Christ, through the Word and the Holy Spirit.
- Holiness to be God’s standard of living for His people.
- In the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, subsequent to a clean heart.
- In all the Fruits and Gifts of the Holy Spirit and that they are valid for today when exercised within Biblical guidelines.
- In water baptism by immersion, and that all who repent should be baptized in the Name of the Father, Son & Holy Spirit.
- In the pre-tribulation rapture of the saints.
- That Divine healing is provided for all in the Atonement.
- In the Lord’s Supper and the washing of the saints feet.
- In the pre-millennial Second Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ.
- In bodily resurrection: eternal life for the righteous; hell and eternal separation from God for the wicked.
- That worship of God should be intelligent. Therefore, services and other related functions are designed with great emphasis upon the teaching of the Word of God, that He might instruct us.
