Our Beliefs

We believe the Scriptures, the Old and New Testaments, to be the inspired Word of God, completely inerrant in the original writings, and absolutely authoritative and infallible. God communicated through Spirit-controlled men therefore sufficient in all its teaching and in all matters that it touches.

We believe there is one God eternally existent in three Persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Each person in the Godhead is equal in being and in power but different in His respective function.

We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death on the cross, in the shedding of His precious blood for the remission of sin, in His bodily resurrection and ascension to the right hand of God the Father where He ever lives to make intercession for the saints.

We believe that the Holy Spirit, is the divine person Who moved holy men of God to write the Scriptures, Who convicts of sin, Who quickens in the new birth, Who seals the true believer unto the day of redemption, and Who indwells the believer with power of holy living and service.

Sin is the missing of the mark, anything that comes short of God’s perfect standard, or anything not conforming to the glory of God.  The results of sin reach to all men and to every part of the man. The penalty for sin is death, both physical and spiritual, and the punishment for sin is the separation from God.

We believe that the only escape from the condemnation of sin is through the atonement wrought by Jesus Christ when He voluntarily took upon Him a human body, yet without sin, and by His suffering, shedding of blood, death, and resurrection. In so doing, He made full satisfaction to the justice of God for the sin of man. The blessings of salvation are given on the grounds of grace to all who believe by faith, not of works.
