Our Beliefs
We believe that the Bible is God’s Word and is to be interpreted by the literal method, where the rules of grammar, literature, history, and culture are consistently applied. In this way, we can accurately understand the author’s meaning, and properly apply the Bible’s principles.
THE BIBLE
(2 Timothy 3:16-17, 2 Peter 1:20-21, Hebrews 4:12) We believe that the Scriptures in all 66 books of the Old and New Testaments are verbally inspired of God, error free in the original manuscripts, and the supreme authority of faith and practice for followers of Christ.
GOD
(Deuteronomy 6:4) We believe there is one living and true God, who is one in essence, while eternally existing in three distinct persons; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
MAN
(Genesis 1: 26 27 Romans 1:18-327 3:10-23) We believe that mankind was directly created in the image of God, male and female, to enjoy His fellowship and fulfill His purposes on earth. Marriage is introduced in the Genesis 2 passage, through Adam, all mankind fell into sin; consequently all people are spiritually dead and subject to the certainty of both physical and spiritual death apart from faith in Jesus Christ.
SALVATION
(John 1:12, 3:16 & 14:6, Ephesians 2:8-9) Webelieve that salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone in Jesus Christ alone. All who believe in Him are declared righteous by the Father on the grounds of Jesus Christ’s life, death and resurrection, being regenerated by and baptized in the Holy Spirit.
