We believe the Bible, consisting of the Old and New Testaments, to be the only inspired, inerrant, infallible and authoritative Word of God.
(Psalm 12:6; 19:7; Matt. 4:4; 22:41-44; John 14:26; 15:26; 17:17; Acts 4:25; Rom. 3:1-2; 1 Cor. 2:13; 14:37; 1 Thess. 2:13; 2 Tim. 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20-21; 3:16)
We believe there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
(Gen. 1:26; Isaiah 6:8; Matt. 28:19; 2 Cor. 13:14; 1 Peter 1:1-2)
We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless Life, in His miracles, in His vicarious, substitutionary, and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father where He intercedes for us as our High Priest and Mediator.
(Isa. 9:6; Matt. 26:63-65; Mark 1:2-3; John 1:1-3, 6:38, 8:56-58, 17:5, 20:28; Acts 2:21; Philippians 2:5-7; Col. 1:16-17; Rev. 22:12, 13, 16; Matt. 1:18-25; Luke 1:26-38; John 8:29, 46; 2 Cor. 5:21; Heb. 4:15, 7:26-28; 1 Peter 1:18-19, 2:22-23; 1 Jn. 3:4-5; Matt. 8:16-17, 9:35-36; Luke 9:1-2; John 5:36, 12:37; 20:30-31; Acts 10:36-38; Isa. 53:4-5; Mark 10:33-34, 45; Luke 2:49, 51; John 10:14, 15, 17, 18; Acts 2:23 Rom. 3:25, 5:10, 18-19; 2 Cor. 5:18-19; Gal 3:13; Eph 2:15-16, 5:2; Philippians 2:8; Col 1:19-20, 2:15; 1 Tim. 2:5-6; Heb 9:14; 1 Pet. 1:18-19, 2:24; 1 John 2:2; Rev. 5:9; Matthew 28:9; Luke 24:36-39; John 20:19; Mark 10:34, Acts 2:32-33; Rom. 1:2-4; 1 Cor. 15:3-6, 17, 20; Eph. 1:19-21; Rev. 1:5; Luke 24:50-51; Acts 1:1-2, 9-11; Rom. 8:34; Philippians 2:9-11; 1 Tim. 2:5-6; Heb. 4:14, 7:23-28)
We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling power and fullness the Christian is enabled to live a godly life in this present evil world.
(Ps 139:7; Matt. 28:19; Luke 12:11-12; Acts 5:3-4; Rom. 8:26, 12:6-8; 1 Cor. 2:10-11, 3:16, 6:19, 12:7-11, 28; 2 Cor. 13:14; Gal. 5:13-26; Eph. 4:11, 30; Heb 9:14; 1 Peter 1:1-2, 4:11)
We believe that the Church is an institution of Divine origin which includes all true believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.
(Matt. 16:13-20; Rom. 12:4-5; 1 Cor. 3:9, 12:12-13; Gal. 3:26-28 Eph. 2:14-20, 4:4-6, 15-16, 5:23; 1 Tim. 3:14-15; Heb. 12:22-23; 1 Peter 2:4-5)
We believe that baptism by immersion and the Lord’s Supper are the only ordinances of the church.
(Matt. 26:26-28; Matt. 28:19; Mark 14:22-24; Luke 22:19-20; John 6:53-55; Acts 2:38-39, 42-47; Rom. 6:3-5; 1 Cor. 11:23-29; Gal. 3:27-28; Eph. 4:4-6; 1 Peter 3:21)
We believe that Sunday is the appropriate day of Christian worship.
We believe that man was created for immortality but that it was forfeited through the fall of Adam and that only through personal faith in Christ by the regeneration of the Holy Spirit will that immortality be restored.
(Gen 2:9,16, 3:18; Isa. 59:2; Ezekiel 36:26-27; John 3:5-6, 16:8-11; Rom. 3:23, 5:6-10, 12, 6:23, 8:2-4, 12-14; 1 Cor. 2:4-5, 10-13, 12:3; Eph. 2:12; Titus 3:5-6; James 1:15; 1 John 5:4, 18)
We believe that death is a condition of unconsciousness for all people.
(Job 3:11-19, 14:10-12; Psalm 6:5, 146:4; Ecclesiastes 9:1-6; Matthew 9:24; Mark 5:39; Luke 8:52; John 11:11-14; Acts 7:60, 13:36; 1 Corinthians 7:39 (Greek), 11:30 (Greek), 15:6, 17-18, 20, 51; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-15; 2 Peter 3:4)
We believe that Jesus will come again personally and visibly at the end of this age to judge the living and the dead and to establish His eternal kingdom on the earth made new.
(Ps. 96:13; Eccl. 12:14; Matt 12:36-37, 13:39-42, 13:47-50, 24:36-39, 24:42-44, 25:31-46; Luke 21:25, 27, 34-35; Acts 1:10-11; Rom. 2:5-8; 1 Cor. 4:5; 2 Cor. 5:10; Philippians 3:20; Col. 3:4; 1 Thess. 4:15-17, 5:1-3; 2 Thess 2:1-4, 8; 2 Tim. 4:8; Titus 2:13; Heb 9:27-28; James 5:7-8; 2 Peter 3:3-4, 8-10; 1 John 2:28, 3:2-3; Rev. 16:15, 21:1-22:20)
We believe in the resurrection of the saved and the lost; that at the judgment those who are saved will receive the full promise of eternal life and those who are lost will be justly punished in hell eventually resulting in extinction of being.
(Job 19:25-27; Isa 26:19; Daniel 12:2-3; Matt. 10:28, 13:39-42, 13:47-50, 22:29-32, 25:31-46 ; Mark 9:43-48; Luke 20:37; John 5:28-29, 6:39-40, 11:25-26; 12:47-48, 14:2-3; Acts 17:31, 24:15; Rom. 2:5-8, 6:5, 8:11, 19-23, 14:11-12; 1 Cor. 3:12-13, 15:20-23, 51-52; 2 Cor. 5:1; Philippians 3:10-11; 1 Thess. 4:16-17; 2 Thess. 1:8-9; Heb. 10:26-27; 1 Pet. 1:3-4; 2 Pet. 2:9, 3:7; Jude 7; Rev. 20:3-6, 12-13, 22:3-5)
We believe Bible prophecy has indicated that we live in the last days and, therefore, the responsibility of the church is to proclaim the return of Christ and urge those who are unsaved to receive Him as their personal Lord and Savior.
(Matt. 28:18-20; Mark 13:9-13, 14:9; Luke 24:45-49; John 20:21-22; Acts 1:7-8; Eph 4:11-13; 1 Tim. 4:13; 2 Tim 4:2)
I believe in God, the Father Almighty,
the Maker of heaven and earth,
and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord:
Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost,
born of the virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, dead, and buried;
He descended into hades.
The third day He arose again from the dead;
He ascended into heaven,
and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty;
from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Ghost;
the holy catholic church;
the communion of saints;
the forgiveness of sins;
the resurrection of the body;
and the life everlasting.
