The Lord
Jesus Christ:
We believe in Jesus Christ as the only begotten Son of
God. We believe in His death for all men, His resurrection, and
His eventual return to judge the world.
Salvation
We believe all men are born with a sinful nature and that
the work of the Cross was to redeem man from the power of sin. We
believe that this salvation is available to all who will receive
it.
The Holy Spirit
We believe in the existence of the Holy Spirit as the third
person of the Trinity and in His interaction with man. We believe
in the baptism of the Holy Spirit as manifested by the fruit and
the gifts of the Spirit.
The Sacred Scripture
We believe in the scripture as the inspired Word of God and
that it is the complete revelation of God's will for mankind. We
believe in the absolute authority of the scripture to govern the
affairs of men.
Stewardship
We believe that every man is the steward of his life and
resources which ultimately belong to God. We believe that tithing
is a measure of obedience to the scriptural principles of
stewardship.
The Church
We believe in the Church as the eternal and universal Body
of Christ consisting of all those who have accepted the work of
the atonement. We believe in the need for a local assembly of
believers for the purpose of evangelism and edification.
Prayer and Praise
We believe in the worship of the Lord through singing,
clapping, and the lifting of hands. We believe in the authority
of the believer to ask freely of the Lord for his needs.
Evangelism
We believe that evangelism is the obligation of every
follower of Jesus Christ. The Lord commands us to go out and make
disciples of all the earth. We believe that each person is first
responsible to evangelism in their own family as the Holy Spirit
leads them and gives them the ability.
Water Baptism
We believe in the ordinance of water baptism by immersion
in obedience to the Word of God. All those who have accepted
Jesus Christ as their personal savior should be baptized in water
as a public profession of their faith in Christ and to experience
what the Bible calls the "circumcision of the Spirit." |
