ABOUT US

• In the word of God (Bible): It is the complete revelation of His will for salvation and the supreme standard by which all human conduct, creeds, and opinions should be judged. They are altogether sufficient in themselves as our only infallible rule of faith and practice.

​

• In the Trinity: The One Triune God, Creator, and Sustainer of all things eternally existing in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.

​

• In the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ: The second person of the Triune God, His miraculous conception by the Holy Spirit, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His substitutionary death on a cross, His bodily resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and His second coming for the elect.

​

• In the Holy Spirit: The third person of the Triune God. The Holy Spirit is the divine agent in creation, revelation, and redemption. He convicts the world of sin, restrains evil, and regenerates those who believe. He indwells, baptizes, seals, empowers, guides, teaches, and sanctifies all who become the children of God through Christ. We believe all believers are entitled to and should ardently expect and earnestly seek the promise of the Father, the baptism in the Holy Spirit.  We believe the baptism of the Holy Spirit is evidenced by speaking in tongues. The Holy Spirit equips believers with different gifts of the spirit to edify and build up the church.

​

• In the creation and fall of man: Man was created by God and was not in any sense the product of animal ancestry. He was made in the divine image. He sinned through his personal disobedience to the revealed will of God and brought physical and spiritual death to the entire race. Man is universally sinful in both nature and practice, alienated from God, and has no possible means of recovery or salvation within himself.

​

• In the salvation by grace through faith: Salvation is the gift of God, neither merited nor secured in part or in whole by any virtue or work of man but received only by personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. In Christ, all believers presently and personally possess a host of blessings such as eternal life, righteousness, sonship in the family of God, and deliverance from all condemnation. Further, in Christ, the believer possesses every spiritual resource needed for life and godliness.

​

• In the One True Church: The body and bride of the Lord Jesus Christ. We believe the Church has a mission to lead people to the saving grace of our Lord Jesus Christ and offer every member the support, care, and spiritual discipline to become mature Christians and good citizens at large.

​

• In the Second Coming of Christ: His return will be personal, visible, and glorious. The second coming of Christ includes the rapture of the saints, which is our blessed hope, followed by the visible return of Christ with His saints to reign on the earth for one thousand years. We believe in the bodily resurrection of everyone who has lived, the everlasting blessedness of those in a right relationship with Jesus Christ, or the everlasting punishment of those who have rejected Jesus Christ.

​

• In Personal Godliness and Separation: We believe in righteous living and good works. We do not believe that we can obtain our salvation through these things, but that they are proper evidence or fruit of our salvation. As Christians, we should keep the Word of God and accept our solemn responsibility and privilege, the taking of the Gospel to a lost world.  Since we are citizens of Heaven and children of God, we should walk in separation from the ways of this present world, having no fellowship with its evil practices. Abstaining from worldly amusements and unclean habits which defile body and mind, we are also to remain separated from professing Christians who walk in outright disobedience to the word of God.

​

• In Water Baptism and the Lord’s table (Holy Communion): Two ordinances given to the Church by our Lord are Water Baptism and the Lord’s Table.

​

• Baptism is an act of obedience signifying the believer’s death, burial, and resurrection in Christ. We follow the pattern Jesus and the apostles showed which is the immersion of a born-again believer in water in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

​

• The Lord’s Table, Lord's Supper, or Communion is a symbolic act of obedience whereby members of the church partake of the bread and the fruit of the vine, proclaiming His life, sufferings, sacrificial death, resurrection, and the hope of His coming again. Water baptism is a one-time act while the Lord’s Table is observed frequently.
