What We Believe

1. Inerrancy of Scripture
WE BELIEVE the Bible is the inerrant, verbally inspired word of God, which is needed to direct lost souls to a saving faith in Jesus Christ as Savior.

2. Sin and Salvation
WE BELIEVE that Jesus Christ was, is, and shall forever more be the Son of God. (John 1:1, 14).

WE BELIEVE that Jesus Christ lived a perfectly sinless life, and His sacrificial death on the cross is complete atonement for our sins. (I Peter 2:21-22, 24; and John 19:30).

WE BELIEVE all mankind possesses a bent toward sin, and must personally accept the work of the Lord Jesus Christ as payment for the penalty of those sins. (Romans 3:23, 6:23; Acts 16:31; John 1:12).

3. God Exists in three persons – The Trinity
WE BELIEVE in one God, eternally existent in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. (Deuteronomy 6:4-5)(Matthew 28:19-20)(Mark 12:28–31)(I John 5:7).

4. Virgin birth of Christ
WE BELIEVE that our Lord was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary. (Isaiah 7:14)(Matthew 1:18-23).

5. Christ died for our sins
WE BELIEVE in the vicarious atoning death of Jesus, who died on the cross so that we might live – offering Himself up as the perfect sacrifice for sinful man. (Romans 5:6-10)(I Thessalonians 5:9-10).

6. Bodily Resurection and Ascension of Christ
WE BELIEVE that Christ is the risen saviour. Jesus rose from the dead, ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
(Acts 1:8-11)(Romans 8:31-35).

7. Water Baptism
WE BELIEVE that all believers should receive water baptism, as a demonstration of our faith, and in obedience to the commandment of our Lord. This act represents a commitment by the believer, and should be accompanied by a renewal and sanctification via the Holy Spirit. Water baptism is an outward symbol of spiritual identification with His death, burial, and resurrection.
(Matthew 28:18-20)(Mark 1:4-11).

8. FAMILY
WE BELIEVE the family is the basic governmental, social, and spiritual unit created by God. In it, the child learns self-government, social relationships, and develops a relationship to the Creator and Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.. (John 3:5, 16; Ephesians 6:1; Colossians 3:20) The family also provides protection from over-extensive government and over-stimulating social involvements.

WE UNDERSTAND “family” to mean a male and a female parent, legally married to each other, with one or more children (Genesis 1:26-28), although we recognize the exceptions of a single parent, adopted, foster, and step children (James 1:27).
