Beliefs

  1. We believe the Bible (solely in Old and New Testaments) to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative, inerrant Word of God (2 Timothy 3:152 Peter 1:21).
  2. We believe there is only one God, eternally existent in three persons–Father, Son and Holy Spirit (Genesis 1:1Matthew 28:19John 10:30).
  3. We believe that God wonderfully and immutably creates each person as male or female, and that these two distinct, complementary genders together reflect the image and nature of God. (Genesis 1:26-27)
  4. We believe in the deity of Christ (John 10:33); His virgin birth (Isaiah 7:14Matthew 1:23Luke 1:35); His sinless life (Hebrews 4:157:26); His miracles (John 2:11); His vicarious and atoning death (1 Corinthians 15:3Ephesians 1:7Hebrews 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 in power and glory (Acts 1:11Revelation 19:11).
  5. We believe in the absolute necessity of regeneration by the Holy Spirit for salvation because  of the exceeding sinfulness of human nature, and that men are justified on the single ground of faith in the shed blood of Christ and that only by God’s grace and through faith alone we are saved (John 3:16-195:24Romans 3:235:8-9Ephesians 2:8-10Titus 3:5).
  6. 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).
  7. We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 8:91 Corinthians 12:12-13Galatians 3:26-28).
  8. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life (Romans 8: 13-141 Corinthians 3:166:19-20Ephesians 4:305:18).
  9. We believe that God created marriage to be exclusively the union of one man and one woman, and that intimate sexual activity is to occur exclusively within that union. (Genesis 2:24Matthew 19:4-5Romans 1:24-271 Corinthians 6:9-101 Thessalonians 4:3-4Leviticus 18:6-22).
