We Believe

In the verbal inspiration of the Bible.

In one God eternally existing in three persons; namely,
the Father, Son and Holy Ghost.

That Jesus Christ is the only begotten of the Father, conceived
of the Holy Ghost,born of the Virgin Mary.
That Jesus was crucified, buried, and raised from the dead. That He
ascended to heaven and is today at the right hand
of the Father as the Intercessor.
That all have sinned and come short of the glory of God
and that repentance is commanded of God for all
and necessary for forgiveness of sins.
That justification, regeneration, and the new birth
are wrought by faith in the blood of Jesus Christ.
In sanctification subsequent to the new birth,
through faith in the blood of Christ; through the Word,
and by the Holy Ghost.
Holiness to be God’s standard of living for His people.
In the baptism with the Holy Ghost subsequent to a clean heart.
In speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance
and that it is the initial evidence of the baptism of the Holy Ghost.
In water baptism by immersion,
and all who repent should be baptized in
the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost.
Divine healing is provided for all in the atonement.
In the Lord’s Supper and washing of the saints’ feet.
In the premillennial second coming of Jesus.
First, to resurrect the righteous dead and
to catch away the living saints to Him in the air.
Second to reign on the earth a thousand years.
In the bodily resurrection; eternal life for
the righteous, and eternal punishment
for the wicked.

Is it really as simple as black and white?
God is not a man, that he should lie...
He has spoken, and shall He not make it good?
These things we believe are not our "rules".
We are neither legislators nor judges.
These things are the result of our exploration of the Bible.
