What We Believe


The Bible

We believe that the Scripture writers were so moved by the Holy Spirit that what they wrote was what God wanted written – even in the choice of words – and without error. Therefore the Bible is our only authority for faith and practice. We use Bible translations based on the Textus Receptus. (2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:21; John 10:25)

God

We believe there is one and only one living and true God, an infinite Spirit, the Maker and Supreme Ruler of heaven and earth; inexpressibly glorious in holiness, and worthy of all possible honor, confidence, and love; that in the unity of the God head there are three persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, equal in every divine perfection, and executing distinct but harmonious offices in the great work of redemption. (Deuteronomy 6:4; Philippians 2:11; John 1:1, 14; John 14:16-17)

Jesus Christ

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, became man without ceasing to be God, having been conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary, one Person with two natures. (John 1:1, 14; Luke 1:35; Philippians 2:5-8)

We believe that by His death He made full atonement for sins, a voluntary substitution of Himself in the sinner’s place, bearing our sin in His own body on the cross. (Romans 3:24-25; Romans 5:6-10; 1 Corinthians 15:3; 1 Peter 2:24)

We believe that He rose again from the dead in the same body, though glorified, in which He suffered and died (Luke 24:36-43; John 2:19-21; John 20:19-29), thus guaranteeing our salvation and manifesting the Father’s acceptance of His atoning death. (Acts 17:31; Romans 1:4)

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is now in heaven, exalted to the right hand of God, where as His people’s High Priest, He fulfills the ministry of intercession and advocacy. (Hebrews 1:3, 4:14-16, 7:23-25, 9:24, 12:2; 1 John 2:1-2)

God's Grace in Salvation

We believe that in order to be saved, sinners must be born again; that the new birth is a new creation in Christ Jesus; that it is instantaneous and not a process; that in the new birth the one dead in sins is made a partaker of the divine nature and receives eternal life as the free gift of God; that the new creation is brought about in a manner above our comprehension, solely by the power of the Holy Spirit in connection with divine truth, so as to secure our voluntary obedience to the gospel; that its proper evidence appears in the holy fruits of a godly life. (John 3:3, 8; 2 Corinthians 5:17; 2 Peter 1:4; Ephesians 2:1-9; 1 Peter 1:2; Ephesians 2:10)

We believe that salvation is free to all men by the Gospel, and that nothing prevents the salvation of the worst sinner but his own rejection of God’s Son. (John 3:16; 2 Peter 3:9)
