We Believe that the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the Word of God, fully inspired, without error in the original manuscripts, and infallible truth.
We Believe that there is one living and true GOD, eternally existing in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, equal in power and glory; this triune God created all, upholds all, and governs all.
We Believe in God the Father, an infinite, omniscient, omnipotent Creator, perfect in Holiness, wisdom, and love; that He concerns Himself mercifully in the affairs of mankind; that He hears and answers prayer; and that He saves from sin and death all who come to Him through faith in Jesus Christ.
We Believe that Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man, God’s only begotten Son, conceived by the Holy Spirit.
We Believe He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, provided the atonement of our sins by His substitutionary death on the cross, was bodily resurrected, ascended into Heaven, gives perpetual intercession for His people, and will return to earth personally and visibly.
We Believe in the Holy Spirit, who came forth from the Father and Son to convict the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment; and to regenerate, sanctify and empower all that believe in Jesus Christ for ministry.
We Believe that the Holy Spirit indwells every believer in Jesus Christ and that He is an abiding helper, teacher, and guide.
We Believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit and in the exercise of all the Biblical gifts as revealed within Scripture.
We Believe that love is more important than any spiritual gift, no matter how impressive it might seem, and without love, all exercise of spiritual gifts is worthless.
We Believe that all people are sinners by nature and choice, and are therefore under condemnation, separated from God; but through God salvation, redemption, and forgiveness are freely offered to all by the grace of Jesus Christ, who repent of their sins and confess Jesus Christ as their personal Savior and Lord.
We Believe that one who repents of their sins, confesses Jesus Christ as their personal Savior and Lord, by grace through faith is immediately born again and sealed by the Holy Spirit, all his/her sins are forgiven and that person becomes a child of God, destined to spend eternity with the Lord.
We Believe in the universal church, the living spiritual body, of which Christ is the head, and all regenerated persons are members.
We Believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost: they that are saved unto the resurrection of life in Heaven, and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation and eternal life in Hell.
We Believe the pre-tribulation rapture of the church, and that the second coming of Christ with His saints to rule on earth will be personal, pre-millennial, and visible.
