STATEMENT OF BELIEFS


We believe the Bible is the verbally and plenary inspired Word of God, inerrant in its original
manuscripts. The Bible is our supreme and final authority in faith and life. (2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20,21)


We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
(Genesis 1:1, 26; Matthew 28:19; John 1:1, 4:24; Acts 5:3; Romans 1:20; Ephesians 4:5,6; 2 Corinthians 13:14)


We believe that Jesus Christ was begotten by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary, and
is fully God and fully man. (Matthew 1:18-25; Luke 1:26-38; Romans 9:5; and Titus 2:13)


We believe that man was created in the image of God, that he sinned and thereby incurred
not only physical death but also that spiritual death which is separation from God, and that all
human beings are born with a sinful nature, and become guilty sinners in thought, work, and
deed. (Genesis 1:26-27; 3:1-24; Romans 3:25; 5:12-18; 1 John 1:8)


We believe that the Lord Jesus died for our sins according to the Scriptures as a
representative and substitutionary sacrifice; that He rose victorious from the grave on the third
day; and that all who place their trust in Him are justified through His shed blood. (Isaiah 53; Matthew 20:28; John 3:16; Romans 3:24-26; 5:1; 1 Corinthians 15:3; 2 Corinthians 5:21;
Ephesians 1:7; 1 John 2:2; Matthew 28:6; Romans 10:9; and 1 Corinthians 15:14)


We believe in the personal and imminent return of our Lord Jesus Christ. (Acts 1:11; 1 Thessalonians 4:16,17)


We believe that all who come by grace through faith to accept the Lord Jesus Christ are born
again of the Holy Spirit and thereby become children of God. (John 3:3, 5; 1:12, 13; James 1:18; 1 Peter 1:12; Ephesians 2:8,9)


We believe in the bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust, the everlasting joy of the saved
and the everlasting punishment of the lost. (John 5:28-29; 1 Corinthians 15:1-58; 2 Corinthians 5:10; Matthew 25:31-46; Revelation 20:4-6, 11-15)


We believe that all Christians are baptized by the Holy Spirit when they are born again. We
believe that water baptism by immersion is the biblical testimony of the professed believer in
the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (Acts 2:28-41, 47; Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 8:36-40; 10:47; 18:8; Romans 6:3,4; 1 Corinthians 12:13)


We believe that those who partake in the ordinance of the Lord’s Supper should be born-again
believers walking in fellowship with the Lord Jesus Christ. We also believe it is a symbol of
one’s identification with Christ and not a means of grace or entrance into a covenant. (Acts 2:42-46; 1 Corinthians 11:23-29)


We believe that as Christians we are to meet together regularly for worship, ordinances, and
the encouragement of each other. (Hebrews 10:24,25; Acts 2:42, 46, 47a)


We believe in biblical stewardship of the tithe to the local congregation of believers and the
biblical fellowship under God’s ordained leaders. (Malachi 3:6-12; Matthew 23:23; 2 Corinthians 8:1-7; Ephesians 4:11,12; Hebrews 13:17)


Further, we subscribe to the doctrinal statement of the Baptist Faith and Message as adopted
by the Southern Baptist Convention in 2000.  Click here...
