Beliefs
I. We believe the Bible is the Word of God, fully inspired and without error in the original manuscripts, written by men under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, and has supreme authority over all matters of faith and conduct.
II. We believe there is one true, good, and living God who is of one substance, power, and eternal purpose yet eternally existing in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
III. We believe God created all things for the manifestation of the glory of His eternal power, wisdom, and goodness. Both Adam and Eve were created equally in the image of God and without sin.
IV. We believe Adam and Eve sinned in eating of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. As a result, they incurred not only physical death but also spiritual death, which is separation from God.
V. We believe our Lord Jesus Christ was fully God. Born of a virgin, He lived a sinless life, performed miracles, died a vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, rose in bodily form, ascended to the right hand of the Father, and will return personally in power and glory.
VI. We believe the Holy Spirit empowers spiritual gifts to His children. These gifts are designed to testify to the presence of the Kingdom and distributed to equip the saints for worship and ministry to build up the body of Jesus Christ.
VII. We believe the Church consists of all who have trusted in the Lord Jesus Christ for their eternal salvation and is the spiritual body of Christ.
VIII. We believe baptism and the Lord's Supper are significant expressions of salvation, worship, and submission to God for the believer.
IX. We believe the call and holy privilege of every child of God and of all churches of Jesus Christ is to go and make disciples of all nations.
X. We believe heaven is a real place of eternal blessedness prepared by God for those who have been saved by grace through the shed blood of Christ. We believe that hell is a real place of eternal suffering for those whose names are not written in the book of life.
XI. We believe in the personal and visible return of the Lord Jesus Christ to earth and the establishment of His kingdom.
