Love, Truth, and Forgiveness by making Disciples.

DOCTRINAL STATEMENT

  1. We believe that the Bible is the inspired and authoritative Word of God with all wording and sentences infallible and all content and meaning inerrant for their respective purposes.
  2. We believe that God is Spirit, infinite, eternal and unchangeable in His Being, Wisdom, Power, Holiness, Justice, Love, and Truth. We believe He is eternal, exists in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
  3. We believe that Jesus Christ was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died as a substitutionary propitiation for our sins, arose bodily from the grave, ascended into Heaven, where He is now our advocate and High Priest, and will personally and visibly return to establish a millennial kingdom on this earth.
  4. We believe that the Holy Spirit came forth from God to convict the world of sin, of righteousness, of judgment, and to regenerate, baptize, indwell, sanctify, empower, bestow gifts, and seal forever those who believe in Jesus Christ.
  5. We believe that all men by nature and by choice are sinners, but that “God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” We believe therefore, that those who accept Christ as Lord and Savior by faith, and who have repented of their sins, will rejoice forever in God’s presence. Those who refuse to accept Christ as Lord and Savior will be forever separated from God.
  6. We believe that a local church is composed of believers in Jesus Christ for worship, edification, fellowship, and evangelism. We believe that to these local churches were committed the ordinances of baptism by immersion and the Lord’s Supper.
  7. Marriage is between a biological man and a biological woman as defined in the Bible
    and we affirm that human sexuality is designed for physical expression only in the bonds of biblical marriage. Therefore, we will uphold biblical marriage and sexuality as the standard for staff, membership, and ministry while also affirming the value of singles for staff, membership, and ministry.
