THE WORD OF GOD

We believe the Bible is the inspired, authoritative, and infallible Word of God and the final authority for Christian faith, doctrine, and conduct.

II Timothy 3:16-17; II Peter 1:20-21; Psalm 119:105

JESUS CHRIST

We believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God, conceived of the Holy Ghost and born of the virgin Mary. He lived a sinless life, died for our sins, was buried, rose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven, and is coming again. Jesus is Lord, Savior, Redeemer, and the only saving name given among humanity.

Matthew 1:21-23; Acts 4:12; I Corinthians 15:3-4; Philippians 2:9-11

WATER BAPTISM

We believe water baptism is administered by immersion in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ in obedience to the Gospel and the apostolic pattern, identifying the believer with Christ's death, burial, and resurrection.

Matthew 28:19; Acts 2:38; Acts 8:16; Acts 10:48; Acts 19:5; Romans 6:3-4

DIVINE HEALING

We believe the Bible is the inspired, authoritative, and infallible Word of God and the final authority for Christian faith, doctrine, and conduct.

Isaiah 53:5; Matthew 8:16-17; James 5:14-16; I Peter 2:24

THE LORD’S SUPPER & FOOT WASHING

We believe in Holy Communion in remembrance of the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ and in foot washing as an expression of humility, service, and Christian fellowship.

John 13:4-17; I Corinthians 11:23-26

THE SECOND COMING OF JESUS CHRIST

We believe in the personal and glorious return of our Lord Jesus Christ. The Church lives in expectation of His coming and is called to remain faithful, watchful, and prepared.

John 14:1-3; Acts 1:11; I Thessalonians 4:16-17; Titus 2:13

THE ONE TRUE GOD

We believe in the one true and living God, eternal and infinite in His being, who has revealed Himself through His Word and ultimately in Jesus Christ. In Jesus Christ dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.

Deuteronomy 6:4; Isaiah 44:6; John 1:1,14; Colossians 2:9; I Timothy 3:16

SALVATION & THE NEW BIRTH

We believe salvation is by the grace of God through faith in Jesus Christ. The New Birth includes repentance, water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost.

John 3:3-5; Acts 2:38; Acts 4:12; Ephesians 2:8-9; Titus 3:5

BAPTISM OF THE HOLY GHOST

We believe the baptism of the Holy Ghost is God's promise to every believer. The initial evidence is speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance. The Holy Ghost empowers believers to live victoriously and witness for Jesus Christ.

Joel 2:28-29; Acts 1:8; Acts 2:4,38-39; Acts 10:44-46; Acts 19:6

HOLINESS AND CHRISTIAN LIVING

We believe every believer is called to live a holy and separated life through the power of the Holy Ghost. Holiness should be demonstrated in our character, conduct, relationships, speech, and devotion to God.

Romans 12:1-2; II Corinthians 7:1; Hebrews 12:14; I Peter 1:15-16

THE CHURCH

We believe the Church is the Body of Christ, called to worship God, proclaim the Gospel, make disciples, demonstrate the love of Christ, and advance His Kingdom. Every believer is called and gifted to participate in ministry.
