Our Beliefs
WE ARE non-charismatic and non-ecumenical
(Baptistic) in our belief and affiliations.
WE BELIEVE that Jesus Christ was born of the
virgin Mary and is the only begotten Son of God and is
God the Son.
WE BELIEVE that Jesus Christ lived a sinless
life in thought, work and deed.
WE BELIEVE that Jesus died on the cross for our
sins, that He was buried and that He arose again the third
day according to the Scriptures; He died, the righteous for
the unrighteous, that He might bring us to God.
WE BELIEVE that Jesus Christ is the great High
Priest over the household of God and that He ever lives to
make intercessions for us.
WE BELIEVE IN THE IMMINENT PRE-TRIBULATION, PRE-MILLENIAL RETURN OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. HIS COMING IS IN TWO DISTINCT STAGES AS REVEALED IN THE NEW TESTAMENT. FIRST, HE SHALL RETURN IN THE AIR FOR HIS CHURCH IN THE EVENT KNOWN AS THE RAPTURE. THEN AFTER THE TRIBULATION PERIOD RUNS IT'S COURSE FOR A PERIOD OF SEVEN YEARS, CHRIST SHALL RETURN TO THIS EARTH BRINGING ALL OF THE REDEEMED BOTH OLD AND NEW TESTAMENT SAINTS WITH HIM TO SET UP A LITERAL KINGDOM AS PROMISED TO DAVID BY GOD.
WE BELIEVE that the Bible is the inspired,
infallible and authoritative Word of God. The Bible does
not just contain the Word of God only, but it is the Word
of God from Genesis 1:1 through Revelation 22:21. We
accept the Old and New Testaments to be verbally
inspired, literal and plenary.
WE BELIEVE that man was created in the image
of God, that Adam rebelled against god by eating the forbidden fruit in the
Garden of Eden and fell, and that every man is now born with a sinful
nature and must be regenerated by the Holy Spirit in order to be saved.
WE BELIEVE that salvation is by grace through
personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. We believe that
works of love will follow true faith in Christ when a
person becomes a new creature in Christ.
WE BELIEVE in the bodily resurrection of both
the saved and the lost; the saved to the resurrection of life
and the lost unto the resurrection of damnation.
WE BELIEVE that for a person to be saved he
must be born again (from above) at which time he will
become a new creature in Christ.
WE BELIEVE in the eternal salvation of the
redeemed and the eternal punishment of the wicked.
WE BELIEVE in the personality and earthly
presence of the devil.
WE BELIEVE that the local church is a body of
baptized believers whose mission is not to reform the
world, but to preach and teach the blood-bought gospel of
salvation to every creature on earth.
WE BELIEVE that the mission of the local
church is to carry out the Great Commission of sending
the gospel to the ends of the earth in every possible
manner with a minimum of red tape and with a maximum
of efficiency.
WE BELIEVE in the Deity of our Lord Jesus
Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His
supernatural miracles, in His vicarious death and
atonement through the shed blood, in His bodily
resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of God the
Father and in His personal and literal Second Coming in
power and glory
