Our Beliefs
- We believe that the entire Bible, is the verbally inspired and infallible Word of God.
- We believe that "God so loved the World, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes on Him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
- We believe in the divinity of Jesus Christ. That He is God the Son, the second member of the Trinity who became sinless flesh, being born of the Virgin Mary, according to Old Testament prophecy and dwelt among men on earth for the salvation of the World.
- We believe that Jesus Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, the Just for the unjust, that He might bring us into fellowship and relationship with God.
- We believe that Jesus Christ rose from the dead on the third day according to the Holy Scriptures.
- We believe that He only, is the great High Priest, and we need not the intercession of any man, but that Christ ever lives to make intercession for us.
- We believe in the filling and indwelling of the Holy Spirit, the Comforter who was promised by our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, to all Christians. This indwelling, cleansing, and filling by the Holy Spirit is also known as being born again.
- We believe that Christ will come again in person, bodily and visibly, to establish His Kingdom in the new Heaven and the new Earth.
- We believe that every truly born again soul must openly declare his/her faith verbally,and by the act of Baptism,(water immersion) setting forth emulation of our Lord's death, burial, and resurrection.
- We believe in obedience to the Great Commission given by our Lord , to Go into all the world, preaching and teaching the Gospel to all nations and to every creature. This is our missionary and evangelistic mandate from Christ.
- We believe that the Church is not a local entity scattered in many locations and denominations, but is the Universal Body of Christ which He purchased with His own blood on Calvary. When an individual calls on the Name of the Lord and becomes Saved, he/she becomes a member of that Body of Christ which is the Universal Church.
