We believe that the Bible, composed of the Old and New Testaments,
was solely inspired by God, that it is completely trustworthy, and
the supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct. (Psalm
119:89, 130, 160; Matthew 5:18; 2 Timothy 3:16, 17; 2 Peter 1:20, 21)
We believe in one God, eternally existing in three Persons - Father,
Son, and Holy Spirit. (Isaiah 45:5; Matthew 3:16, 17, Matthew 28:19; John 15:26;
2 Corinthians 13:14; 1 Timothy 2:5; 1 John 5:7)
We believe in God the Father, that He is perfect in holiness,
infinite in wisdom and measureless in power. (Genesis 17:1;
Leviticus 11:44, 45; Isaiah 40:28, 57:15; Romans 11:33; 1 Peter
1:16; Revelation 19:6)
We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ, God's only begotten Son who
was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, lived a
sinless life, and died on the cross as a sacrifice for the sins of
the world. We believe in His bodily resurrection, His ascension
into heaven, His high Priestly intercession for believers, and His
personal, premillennial visible return to the earth. (Luke 1:35; 1
Corinthians 15:34; 2 Corinthians 5:21; 1 Peter 2:22-24; Matthew
28:5, 6; Acts 1:9; 1 John 2:1; Revelation 20:1-7; Matthew 24:30; 2
Thessalonians 1:7-10; 1 Timothy 2:5)
We believe in the personality of the Holy Spirit, Whom the Father
sent to convince the world of sin, of righteousness, and of
judgment; and to regenerate, sanctify, and comfort those who believe
in Jesus Christ. (John 14:16-17, 16:7-15; Acts 9:31; Ephesians 1:13)
We believe that salvation is by grace through faith, and that all
who receive by faith the Lord Jesus Christ, are born again of the
Holy Spirit and thereby become children of God. (Ephesians 2:8-10;
John 1:12)
We believe that baptism is the immersion of a believer in water, in
the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
(Acts 8:36-39; John 3:22-23; Romans 6:3-5; Matthew 3:16, 28:19)
We believe that the Lord's Supper is a memorial of Christ's death,
to be observed regularly by believers until He comes. (Luke
22:19-20; 1 Corinthians 11:23-30)
We believe that a New Testament church is a body of baptized
believers, associated together for worship, fellowship, service, and
the spread of the Gospel throughout the earth. (Acts 2:41-42, 14:27;
1 Corinthians 11:2; Ephesians 1:22-23; 1 Corinthians 12:12, 13; Mark 16:15;
Matthew 28:19, 20; Acts 1:8)
We believe God has provided and ordained the family* as the
foundational institution of human society. It is composed of
persons related to one another by marriage, blood, or adoption. The
ideal family consists of a father, mother and children. Genesis
1:26-28, 2:15-25; Exodus 20:12; Deuteronomy 6:4-9; Proverbs 5:15-20,
6:20-22, 13:24, 22:6:6, 15; Malachi 2:14-1`6; Matthew 5:31-32,
18:2-5, 19:3-9; Mark 10:6-12; Romans 1:18-32; 1 Corinthians 7:1-16;
Ephesians 5:21-33, 6:1-4; 1 Timothy 5:14; Hebrews 13:4; 1 Peter 3:1-7
We believe Marriage* is the uniting of one (1) biological man* and
one (1) biological woman* in a covenant commitment for a lifetime.
It is God's unique gift to reveal the union between Jesus Christ and
His church and to provide for the man and the woman in marriage the
framework for intimate companionship, the channel of sexual
expression according to biblical standards, and the means for
procreation of the human race. Genesis 1:26-28, 2:15-25; Proverbs
5:15-20; Matthew 5:31-32; 1 Corinthians 7:1-16; Ephesians 5:21-33; 1
Peter 3:1-7, 18:2-5
We believe children from the moment of conception are living human
beings, a person, and are a blessing and a heritage from the Lord.
Parents are to demonstrate to their children God's pattern for
marriage, Christian living and stewardship. Isaiah 44:2, Jeremiah
1:5, Psalms 139:13-16; Ecclesiastes 11:5
