STATEMENT OF FAITH

THE SCRIPTURES

We believe that the Holy Bible is the inspired, inerrant Word of God and that God has preserved His Word for English speaking people in the King James Version. 

THE TRUE GOD

We believe that there is only one true & living God, eternally existing in three persons, Father, Son, & Holy Ghost.

THE PERSON AND WORK OF JESUS CHRIST

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and God the Son. He is eternal, but He willingly took upon Him the form of His creation, was begotten of the Holy Ghost and born of a virgin to die for the sins of the entire human race.

THE RESURRECTION

Jesus Christ died on the cross in sacrifice for sin, was buried, and the third day bodily rose from the dead. After appearing to many witnesses in His resurrected body, He later ascended back to Heaven.

SALVATION

We believe that man can be forgiven of His sins and receive eternal life from God as a free gift that was purchased by the sacrifice of God’s Son. Salvation is not earned by man’s work but received by repentance of sin, and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

THE CHRISTIAN LIFE

We believe that when a person truly repents of their sins and receives Jesus Christ as their personal Savior, they become a new creature. The old sinful ways will be replaced by a new righteous life that reflects the work of the Holy Spirit of God on the inside of the believer.

THE CHURCH

We believe that the New Testament Church is a local assembly of born again baptized believers who work together to fulfill God’s commission of winning the world to Jesus Christ.

THE RETURN OF CHRIST

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ will return bodily to the earth as He said, and that His return will begin with the rapture of the saved. This will be followed by 7 years of Great Tribulation upon the earth, and the rule of the antichrist. At the end of the seven years, Jesus will return to the earth to destroy the army of the antichrist and establish his 1,000-year kingdom upon the earth.

THE ETERNAL STATE

We believe in the bodily resurrection of all men, the saved to eternal life, and the unsaved to judgment and everlasting punishment.
