What We Believe
We believe…
the Scriptures of the Old and New Testament as being verbally inspired by God and inerrant and infallible in the original writings, and that they are of supreme and final authority.
in one God eternally existing in One Essence, yet three co-equal Persons, the Trinity: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
that Jesus Christ was begotten by God, conceived by the Holy Spirit, and born of the virgin Mary.
in the Holy Spirit, the third Person of the Trinity, Who convicts the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment. He is the life of the believer, and He empowers the preaching and teaching of the gospel.
that mankind was created in the image of God, sinned, and thereby incurred not only physical death, but spiritual death, which is separation from God, and that all human beings are born with a sinful nature.
that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures as a representative and substitutionary sacrifice, and that all who believe in Him are justified on the basis of His shed blood.
that all who receive by faith the Lord Jesus Christ are born again by the Holy Spirit, and thereby become children of God and heirs of eternal life.
in the blessed hope, which is the personal, visible, and imminent return of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
in the bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust, the everlasting conscious suffering of the lost in hell, and the fellowship of the saved in heaven.
in the reality and personality of Satan, who is working in the world to destroy the souls of men.
in the Church, whose mission it is to preach the Scriptures to all the world, all of its endeavors being guided by multiple leadership and supported by the wise stewardship of God’s people.

that the foregoing are Bible doctrines; therefore, we stand firm upon this Confession of Faith.
