Our Beliefs

Scripture

We affirm that the Bible containing the Old & New Testaments is alone the only infallible inspired Word of God, and that its authority is ultimate, final, and eternal.

2 Timothy 3:16–17, Psalm 119:105, Matthew 5:18

Atonement

Christ's death on the cross paid the penalty for the sins of the whole world, and its benefits are only applicable to those who receive Jesus as their personal Savior.

Isaiah 53:5–6, 1 Peter 2:24, Romans 5:8–9, Hebrews 9:22

Salvation

We believe that salvation is a gift of God and is received through personal faith in Jesus Christ and His sacrifice for sin. We believe that each person is justified by grace through faith apart from works and that all true believers, once saved, are kept secure in Christ forever.

Acts 13:38-39; Romans 4:5, 6:23, 8:1, 38-39; John 10:27-29; Ephesians 2:8-9

The Trinity

The Biblical revelation testifies that there is only one God, and that He is eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Matthew 28:19, 2 Corinthians 13:14, Genesis 1:26

The Church

The goal of the Church is to make disciples of all nations and to present the saints complete in Christ.

Matthew 16:18, Ephesians 1:22–23, Hebrews 10:24–25, Acts 2:42–47

The Ordinances

We believe the ordinances for believers are water baptism and the Lord’s Supper as a memorial. They are not to be regarded as a means of salvation but are evidence of obedience and fellowship with the Lord.

Matthew 28:19-20, Acts 2:38, 41, 8:12, 35-38; Luke 22:19-20, 1 Corinthians 11:23-29

Eschatology (What happens in the end)

We affirm the bodily, personal, second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ; the resurrection of the Saints; the Millennium; and the final judgment.

1 Thessalonians 4:16–17, Revelation 22:12–13, Matthew 24:30–31

Marriage

We affirm there are two sexes created by God: male and female (Gen. 1 - 2), and marriage is a sacred institution between one man and one woman.

Genesis 2:24, Matthew 19:4–6, Ephesians 5:31–33, Hebrews 13:4
