Doctrinal Statement
The Holy Scriptures
We
believe in the plenary, verbal inspiration of
the word of God. We believe that the Old
and New Testaments
are inerrant in the original writings.
The Eternal Godhead
We
believe the Godhead exists in three persons:
The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and that these
persons are one God.
The Lord Jesus Christ
We
believe in:
-
His eternal existence as God
-
His Incarnation
-
His virgin birth
-
His death on the cross as the
substitutionary atonement for sin
-
His literal bodily resurrection
-
That He presently intercedes for us in
Heaven
-
That He will personally, in the future,
return to earth
The Holy Spirit
We
believe that the Holy Spirit convicts men of
sin, regenerates, baptizes, indwells, seals, and
sets apart believers with a holy life; He keeps
and empowers believers and is the teacher of the
word of God.
Salvation
We
believe that salvation is by grace, a free gift
of God, apart from works. True salvation
requires repentance, a turning from sin and
one’s own way to God’s way. Salvation is
through personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
True salvation will be manifest by a changed
life.
Man
We
believe that man was created innocent and pure.
Adam fell through the sin of disobedience.
Therefore, all men are corrupt in body, soul,
and spirit and all men need redemption.
The Future
We believe in
the personal, visible, bodily return of Jesus
Christ to earth; the bodily resurrection of the
just to heaven in the glory of God’s presence;
the bodily resurrection of the unjust to
judgment and everlasting punishment.
