OUR BELIEFS

 

THE BIBLE

The Bible, Old and New Testaments, are the inspired Word of God; without error in the original writings, and are the complete revelation of God’s will for the salvation of men. Further, we believe that the Bible is the divine and final authority for all Christian faith and life.

 

THE HOLY SPIRIT

The ministry of the Holy Spirit is to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ with his indwelling power to convict men of sin, regenerate the believing sinner, guide, instruct and empower the believer for godly living and service.

GOD

There is one God; Creator of all things, infinitely perfect, and eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

 

FUTURE EVENTS

There will be a bodily resurrection of all the dead, of the believer to everlasting blessedness and joy with the Lord, and of the unbeliever to judgment and everlasting conscious punishment.

JESUS CHRIST

Jesus Christ is the only Son of God, conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He died on the cross as the complete and final sacrifice for our sins according to the Scriptures. Further, He arose from the dead, ascended into heaven, and now sits, at the right hand of the Majesty on High, as our High Priest and Advocate.

 

THE CHURCH

The true Church is composed of all such persons, who through the saving faith in Jesus Christ, have been regenerated by the Holy Spirit and are united together in the body of Christ of which, He is the head.

 

BAPTISM, COMMUNION AND WASHING OF THE SAINTS FEET

Water baptism by immersion soon after accepting Christ as personal Savior, is a testimony of death to sin and resurrection to a new life. The Lord's Supper is a memorial service setting forth in sacred and symbolic manner the death of the Lord Jesus Christ; and washing of the saint’s feet is a symbol of servitude, love and unity.

 
 

 Practical

We promote strong family values and family commitment.

We believe in the sacredness of marriage between one man and one woman.

We believe every believer should be in a growing relationship with Jesus by obeying God's Word, yielding to the Holy Spirit and by being conformed to the image of Christ.

We believe the only true basis of Christian fellowship is Christ's (agape) love, which is greater than differences we possess, and without which we have no right to claim ourselves Christians.

We believe worship of God should be spiritual; therefore, we remain flexible and yielded to the leading of the Holy Spirit to direct our worship.

We believe worship of God should be intelligent; therefore, our services are designed with great emphasis upon the teaching of the Word of God that He might instruct us on how He should be worshiped. We seek to teach the Word of God in such a way that its message can be applied to the individual's life, leading that person to a greater maturity in Christ.
