We believe the Bible (containing the 66 books of the
Old and New Testament) is the word of God, fully
inspired by Him through the Holy Spirit in the
original manuscripts Since God's word is both true
and everlasting, it is our supreme authority for
faith and conduct. His word is absolutely
trustworthy, inerrant and infallible--it cannot be
proven false, erroneous or mistaken. We believe that
there is but one living, true, personal and
sovereign (supreme, independent ruler) God. God is
Spirit (John 4:24), and His attributes are those
essential qualities which identify and describe His
nature. Because God is perfect, He cannot and will
not act contrary to His nature
We
believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, God's only
begotten Son, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit
and born of the virgin Mary. In the flesh, Jesus was
one person, with two natures--true God and true man,
yet without sin. We believe the person of the Holy
Spirit is God, and given by God to convict the world
of sin, righteousness and judgment, guide into all
truth, comfort, regenerate, sanctify and daily lead
those who are in Christ. He also indwells forever,
from the moment of regeneration, and desires to
empower, fill and minister through the believer
We believe that every Christian, as a new creation,
will give some evidence of personal conversion.
We believe that all the redeemed, once saved, are
kept eternally secure by God's power and manifest
the work of that power in their lives daily by
refraining from sin and conforming to Jesus Christ
The believer's security is a matter for rejoicing
and motivation to maturity in Christ through daily
obedience to God's Word, clearly forbidding the
abuse of Christian liberty as an occasion to sin. We
believe the "Church" is primarily manifest through
local churches that are comprised of born-again
believers who observe baptism and the Lord's Supper,
are governed only by the word of God, and answer
ultimately to Jesus Christ.
