WHAT WE BELIEVE:
- The Bible is the inspired, infallible Word of God, upon which our faith and doctrine are
founded. It is the authority on everything pertaining to life and death.
(2 Timothy 3:16)
- God is one and He exists in three persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
(Philippians 2:6, John 16:28, John 15:2)
- Jesus Christ died on the cross, shed His blood for our sins, and three days later rose from the dead, thus conquering death.
(Romans 3:23, 6:23, 5:8)
- We receive communion in remembrance of what Christ did for us at the cross.
(Matthew 26:26-28, Luke 22:19-20)
- Water baptism is a commandment from Christ to all believers. It is an outward sign of an inward change, and is a symbol of a Christian’s identification with Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection.
(Matthew 28:19, Romans 6:4)
- Baptism in the Holy Spirit is a gift from God to all believers, and is received subsequent to the new birth. It is available to all Christians today.
(Matthew 3:11, Acts 2:38-39)
- The prayer of faith and the laying on of hands can bring divine healing.
(James 5:14-15, Mark 16:18, Isaiah 53:4-5, 1 Peter 2:24)
- We believe in the second coming of Jesus Christ.
(Acts 1:11, 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17)
- Every Christian should remain planted in the local church. It provides a place of covering (safety, protection, and blessings). It is also the place God uses to speak things into a person’s life so that they can grow, receive direction, and be equipped to do God’s work.
(Hebrews 10:24-25, Matthew 16:18, Ephesians 4:11-12)
