What We Believe

We believe the Bible to be divinely inspired, undivided, infallible, authoritative Word of God.

We believe that there is one God eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and redemptive death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father and in His personal return in power and glory.

We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful man, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is biblically essential.

We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling and empowerment the Christian is enabled to live a Godly life and through whom the Spiritual enablements are operational in the Church today.

We believe that God has provided to desiring believers an enduement of Spiritual power for the evangelization of the lost.

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 damnation.

We believe in the Spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.

We believe that God has established marriage as a lifelong, exclusive relationship between one natural born man and one natural born woman and that all intimate sexual activity outside the marriage relationship, whether heterosexual, homosexual, or otherwise, is immoral and therefore sin.

We believe that God created the human race male and female and that all conduct with the intent to adopt a gender other than one’s birth gender is immoral and therefore sin.

Apostles’ Creed

I believe in God the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth (Genesis 1:1); and in Jesus Christ his only Son (Matthew 3:16-17, John 3:16), our Lord (Romans 10:9); who was conceived by the Holy Ghost (Luke 1:34-35), born of the Virgin Mary (Matthew 1:18); suffered under Pontius Pilate (Mark 15:15), was crucified (Mark 15:25), died (John 19:33-34), and was buried (Luke 23:52-53); he descended into hell (Acts 2:31, Ephesians 4:8-10, 1 Peter 3:18-19): the third day he rose again from the dead (Luke 24:1-7); he ascended into heaven (Luke 24:51), and sitteth on the right hand of God (Colossians 3:1) the Father almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead (2 Timothy 4:1). I believe in the Holy Ghost (John 14:26); the holy catholic (Christian) church; the communion of saints (1 Corinthians 11:26); the forgiveness of sins (1 John 1:9); the resurrection of the body (Revelation 20:6); and the life everlasting (Revelation 21:4). Amen.
