Our Doctrine

What we believe

The Bible

WE BELIEVE the Bible to be the inspired, only infallible, authoritative, inerrant, Word of God. (2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:21)

God

WE BELIEVE there is one God, eternally existent in three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (Genesis 1:1; Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 28:19; John 10:30)

Jesus

WE BELIEVE in the deity of Christ (John 10:30); His virgin birth (Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:23; Luke 1:34-35); His sinless life (Hebrews 4:15, 7:26); His miracles (John 2:11); His vicarious and atoning death (1 Corinthians 15:3; Ephesians 1:7; Hebrews 2:9); His resurrection (John 11:25; 1 Corinthians 15:4); His ascension to the right hand of the Father (Mark 16:19); His personal return to earth in power and glory (Acts 1:11; Revelation 19:11-16)

The Holy Spirit

WE BELIEVE in the present ministry and gifts of the Holy Spirit by Whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a Godly life (Romans 8:13-14; 1 Corinthians 3:16, 6:19-20; Ephesians 4:30, 5:18)

Redemption & Salvation

WE BELIEVE in the absolute necessity of regeneration by the Holy Spirit for salvation because of the exceeding sinfulness of human nature, and that all are justified on the single ground of faith in the shed blood of Christ, and only by God’s grace through faith alone, are we saved (John 3:16-19, 5:24; Romans 3:23, 5:8-9; Ephesians 2:8-10; Titus 3:5)

Heaven & Hell

WE BELIEVE in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life, and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation. (John 5:28-29, John 3:16-18,36)

Church

WE BELIEVE in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ and that it is necessary to gather together as an assembly to worship God and do the work of the ministry together, as commanded in the Scriptures. (Romans 8:9; 1 Corinthians 12:12-13; Galatians 3:26-28; Hebrews 10:25)

The End of Time

WE BELIEVE that a literal rapture of the Church will take place. WE BELIEVE that a literal 7 year tribulation on this earth will occur under the influence of an Anti-Christ during which God's wrath will be unleashed. WE BELIEVE in a literal Second Coming of Christ after the tribulation to rule and reign for a literal 1,000 years. (Matthew 24; 1 Corinthians 15:52; 1 Thessalonians 4:17; Revelation 20)
