What we believe
- We believe in the authority of the Bible as God’s inspired truth,, Bible as the inherent word of God.
- We believe in THE ONE TRIUNE GOD: Who is personal, spirit and sovereign; perfect, infinite and eternal in His being, holiness, love, wisdom and power; who is absolutely separate and above the world as the Upholder of all things; who is self-existence and self revealing in three distinct persons, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, each having a distinct ministry in God’s relation to His creation and people
- We believe in THE LORD JESUS CHRIST: Who is the Second Person of the Triune God, the eternal Word and only Begotten Son: Who without any change in His divine Person, became man by miracle of the Virgin Birth, thus to continue forever as both true God and true Man, one person with two natures; who as man was tempted in all points as we are, yet without sin; who as the perfect Lamb of God gave Himself in death upon the cross, becoming there the sin of the world, and suffering its full penalty of divine wrath in our stead; who arose bodily from the grave and was glorified; who as our great High Priest ascended into Heaven, there to appear before the face of God as our advocate and Intercessor.
- We believe in THE HOLY SPIRTI: Who is the third Person of the Trinity and the divine Agent in nature, revelation and redemption; who convicts the world concerning sin, righteousness and judgment; who regenerates, indwells, baptizes, seals and anoints all who become children of God through Christ who further empowers, guides, teaches, sanctifies and fills believers who daily surrender to Him.
- We believe ALL MEN ARE BY NATURE AND CHOICES SINFUL AND LOST: that man was the direct creation of God, made in His image and likeness; that by personal disobedience to the revealed will of God, man became a sinful creature, the father of a fallen race which is universally sinful in both nature and practice, thus alienated from the life and family of God, under the righteous judgment and wrath of God and has within himself no possible means of salvation
- We believe in FUTURE LIFE, BODILY RESSURECTION AND ETERNAL JUDGMENT: that spirits of the saved at death go immediately to be with Christ in Heaven, that for the purpose of the determination of rewards, their works shall he brought before the judgment Seat of Christ at the when Christ comes for His own; that the spirits of the unsaved at the death descended immediately into Hades where they are kept under punishment until the final of judgment , at which time their bodies shall be raised from the grave and they shall be judged and cast into Hell, the place of final and everlasting punishment.
- We believe in THE PRIESTHOOD OF ALL BELIEVERS; that Christ is our Great High Priest and through Him every born-again person has direct access into God’s presence without the need of a human priest; that the believer has the right and responsibility to personally study and interpret the scripture, guided by the Holy Spirit.
- We believe in the LORDSHIP OF JESUS CHRIST: that all who believe in HIM as Savior should let Him be the Lord of their lives and that they should assemble and identify themselves in local church.
- We believe in the IMPORTANCE OF THE LOCAL CHURCH: that a New Testament church is a local assembly of a born-again, baptized believers united in organization to teach and practice New Testament doctrines and ordinances, to meet together for worship, prayer, fellowship, teaching and united testimony, and to actively engage in carrying out the Great Commission
- We believe THE ORDINANCES GIVEN TO THE LOCAL CHURCH ARE TWO, BAPTISM AND THE LORD’S SUPPER: that Baptism is by immersion of believers, thus portraying the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ; that the Lord’s Supper is the partaking of the bread and cup by members of the church as a continuing memorial of the broken body and shed blood of Christ.
