What We Believe

We believe the Bible is the inerrant, infallible, verbally inspired Word of God. It is the only authoritative rule for faith and practice. The scriptures provide all that is needed for salvation.

We believe God is supreme in His Person, eternal in His being, absolute in His attributes, and glorious in His perfection. We believe He has existed forever.

We believe that God exists eternally in the three persons of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We believe God sent His Jesus for our forgiveness and gave mankind the Holy Spirit as a Comforter.

We believe that man was created in the image of God and by choice mankind chose to sin resulting in his death. So, every person is sinful and under condemnation to eternal judgment.

We believe that the salvation of sinners unto eternal life is wholly through grace, and our assurance of our salvation comes through faith alone in Jesus Christ only. The shed blood of Jesus Christ and His resurrection provides the ground for justification and salvation for all who believe, and only those who accept the forgiveness of Jesus are born again of the Holy Spirit and, they, become children of God.

We believe that man was created in the image of God but fell into sin and is, as result of his sin he is now, lost, but through regeneration by the Holy Spirit can salvation and spiritual life be obtained.

We believe that the visible church is a congregation of baptized believers practicing New Testament principles, believing its doctrines, observing its ordinances, and exercising its autonomy patterned after the New Testament church as describes in the Book of Acts.

We believe that water baptism and the Lord’s Supper are the only sacraments ordained and to be practiced by the Church. They are, but a means of grace, not a means of salvation.

We believe in the bodily resurrection of the dead; of the believer to everlasting life, joy, and peace with the Lord; and of the unbeliever to judgment and everlasting punishment in hell.
