What We Believe

We believe in the inspiration, infallibility, and authority of the Bible as the Word of God.

We believe in the eternal God Who is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

We believe in the Divinity, Virgin Birth, Vicarious Death, Blood Atonement, Resurrection, Ascension, Lordship and present intercessory ministry of Jesus Christ.

We believe that the ministry of the Holy Spirit is to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ, to convict and regenerate men, to indwell, to guide, to teach, and to empower believers.

We believe that all have sinned and are lost without Jesus Christ as personal Savior.

We believe that water baptism, by immersion, and the Lord’s Supper are ordinances to be observed – after salvation and not as the means of salvation.

We believe that the membership of the church should be made up of nothing but born again believers: the true body of Christ.

We believe that the local church is autonomous under Jesus Christ and we believe in the separation of church and State.

We believe in the personal, bodily return of Jesus Christ and in the bodily resurrection of all the dead, the everlasting reward of believers is Heaven and the everlasting punishment of unbelievers is Hell.

We believe that man has not the ability to be righteous outside of the grace of God.

We believe in the Pre-Millennial, Second Coming of Jesus Christ before the Seven years of Tribulation and Thousand years of Jesus’ Millennial reign.

We believe as a church, once a person has been convicted and drawn by the power of the Holy Spirit and received Jesus Christ as his forgiving and redeeming Lord he has an eternal security as a brother of the Lord Jesus Christ and a member of the body of Christ and has an eternal home in Heaven.

We believe in the personality of Satan as a vile, immoral, and corrupt perverter of all that God has created.

We believe that the Bible teaches that legitimate sexual relationships are exercised solely within the confines of biblical marriage and that any sex outside of biblical marriage is a sinful perversion of God’s gift of sex. Therefore, all forms of sexual immorality including, but not limited to, adultery (Exodus 20:14, Deuteronomy 5:18, Matthew 5:27-28), fornication (Matthew 15:19, Colossians 3:5-6), homosexuality and bisexuality (Leviticus 18:22, Romans 1:26-27), pedophilia (Matthew 18:10), incest (Leviticus 18:6), pornography (Matthew 5:28), and any attempt to change one’s biological gender or act and dress as the opposite sex (Genesis 1:27, Mark 10:6, Deuteronomy 22:5) are sinful and an offense to God, our Creator (1 Corinthians 6:9-11, Jude 7).

We believe that the term “marriage” has only one meaning, and that is the marriage sanctioned by God which joins one man and one woman in a single, exclusive union as prescribed in the plenary word of God – the Holy Bible (Genesis 2:22-24, Matthew 19:4-6).

We believe that God intends all sexual intimacy, no matter what the form, to occur between a man and a woman in the confines of biblical marriage (1 Corinthians 7:1-2, Hebrews 13:4). Accordingly, this church, her Pastor, Staff, and members shall not conduct same-sex unions or wedding ceremonies contrary to the Holy Bible or the definition of marriage stated within this document, nor shall the church property or resources be used for such purposes.

We believe God intends marriage to last until one of the spouses dies. Although divorced and remarried persons may hold positions of service in the Church and be greatly used of God for Christian service, they may not be considered for the offices of Pastor or Deacon.

We believe that human life begins at conception and that the unborn child is a living human being. Abortion constitutes the unjustified and unexcused taking of unborn human life. Abortion is murder. We believe that abortions of pregnancies due to rape, incest, birth defects, gender selection, birth or population control, or the mental well-being of the mother are un-acceptable.

We believe that each believer has been given the privilege of an audience before the throne of God through the intercession of Jesus Christ.
