We Believe There Is One God
We Believe there is one, true God who is the creator of the heavens and the earth. God is eternally existent in three personalities: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We Believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, sinless life, miracles, atoning death on the cross, bodily resurrection, bodily ascension into heaven, and His personal return once again in power and glory. We Believe that salvation cannot be gained by human effort, but only through God's grace in the redemption He provided in Jesus Christ, a redemption which is responded to by faith and which leads to a life devoted to obeying God.
We Believe in the ordinances
We Believe in the ordinances authorized for the Church in the New Testament, namely Baptism (immersion in water) and the Lord's Supper. Immersion, as commanded and exemplified in the New Testament, is a burial in water with Christ for the remission of sins and resurrection to a new life with Him in the Spirit (Romans 6:3-4). The scriptures record that the early Church frequently observed the Lord's Supper as instructed by Jesus (I Corinthians 11:23-26; Acts 2:42; 20:7). Therefore, we take communion each Sunday.
We Believe in the resurrection
We Believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost: they that are saved unto the resurrection of life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of condemnation.
We Believe In The Son Of God
We Believe that all who by faith are baptized into Jesus Christ are immediately placed by the Holy Spirit into one united spiritual body, the Church, of which Christ is the head.
The purpose of the church
The purpose of the Church is to glorify God by building its members up in the faith, by instruction of the word, by fellowship, and by advancing and communicating the gospel to the entire world. The formation of the Church, the body of Christ, began on the Day of Pentecost and will be completed at the coming of Christ.
Cooperation
We Believe that we should cooperate in all possible ways in God's Work with our fellow believers, being patient with one another in our differences.
