Our Doctrine
-
We believe in one triune God, eternally existing in three persons, co-existent, co-eternal, and co-equal…Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. God the Father
-
We believe the first person of the trinity to be revealed as God the Father. He, for the purpose of redemption, took the position as the head of the triune God. He is the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. God the Son
-
We believe the eternal Son of God came into the world so that He might reveal God to man, and became the redeemer of a lost world. To this end, He was born of a virgin, conceived by the Holy Spirit, received a human body, and possesses a sinless human nature. He became sin for us as our substitute, bearing the penalty for our sin. Therefore all who have responded to Him through His grace by faith are born from above and possess the eternal life of God
-
We believe that Jesus Christ was crucified, dead, and buried; on the third day, he arose from the grave never to die again having ascended into heaven and there presently sits at the right hand of the Father from whence He will come to receive His church and judge the living and the dead. God the Holy Spirit
-
We believe the third person of the Trinity indwells the believer at the moment of their salvation. It is the Holy Spirit that affects salvation sealing them in himself until the day of redemption. The Holy Spirit gives different gifts to each believer to use for service through which they will glorify God.
-
As our name suggests the Bible is the cornerstone of our church. It is from the Bible that we derive all the doctrines that we preach and teach.
-
We believe in the Holy Scriptures (Bible), accepting fully the writings of the Old and New Testaments as the Word of God, verbally inspired in all parts and therefore wholly without error as originally given by God, altogether sufficient as our infallible rule of faith and practice. Because of this conviction, we preach and teach from the Bible in our services challenging those to whom we minister to apply the unchanging truths to their lives.
-
We use the Bible in our counseling as we believe it contains the answers to every need of humanity.
-
We use the Bible as the unchanging yardstick to measure all philosophies, creeds, ideologies, and teachings of man. The Bible is our final authority for all areas in which it speaks.
-
We believe that God created man perfect, but that man by an act of his will disobeyed God and became a sinner by choice and that choice has caused him to be a sinner by nature; that man is powerless to save himself from his condition of total depravity.
-
We believe that death has passed upon all mankind. Therefore, no one can enter the kingdom of God apart from God’s grace through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
