Doctrinal Statement
We believe the Bible is the verbally inspired Word of God in both the Old and New Testaments. It is inerrant in its original autographs, and is the church’s absolute authority. We believe that the Scriptures, interpreted in their natural, literal sense, reveal divinely determined dispensations which illuminate the plan and program of Christ in every period of history. These dispensations are not ways of salvation but are rather divinely ordered stewardships by which God directs man according to His purpose.
We believe salvation is a gift of God received only through personal faith in Christ, and all who trust Christ as Savior are kept secure in Him forever.
We believe in the Trinity. God eternally exists in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit – and that these three are one God, having precisely the same nature, attributes, and perfections, and worthy of precisely the same homage, confidence, and obedience.
We believe God, the Holy Spirit, convicts the world of sin, righteousness and judgment, and He indwells every believer and seals them into the Body of Christ, which is the True Church.
We believe Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God. He was born of a virgin, became a man, and without ceasing to be God, accomplished our redemption through His sacrificial death on the cross. He rose from the dead on the third day and ascended into Heaven.
We believe in that “Blessed Hope,” the personal, imminent, pretribulational and premillennial coming of Jesus Christ for His redeemed ones; and in His subsequent return to earth, with His saints, to establish His Millennial Kingdom.
We believe that man was originally created in the image of God, and that he sinned, and, as a consequence of his sin, incurred both physical and spiritual death, which separated him from God and brought the need of salvation.
