Our Beliefs
1. The Bible is the Inspired Word of God
2. There is One True God
3. Jesus Christ is the Son of God
4. Sin Separated Humanity From God
5. Jesus Christ is the Only Means of Salvation
The only means of salvation is Jesus Christ (Acts 4:12; John 14:6). He died on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins (1 Peter 2:24). When we trade our sin for his righteousness, it triggers a spiritual chain reaction. Jesus pardons us from our sins and adopts us into God’s family. The Holy Spirit is given to us to guide, comfort, convict, and help us grow to look more like Jesus. Jesus offers people a pardon from their sins (Hebrews 9:26) and adopts us into God’s family (John 1:12).
When we place our faith in Christ, it triggers a spiritual chain reaction. We become the temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19), our names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life (Revelation 3:5), we become citizens of Heaven (Philippians 3:20-21), and we are given eternal life (John 3:16). We are born again (John 3:3). God takes ownership of us (1 Corinthians 6:20) and we receive an eternal inheritance (Ephesians 1:13-14; I Peter 1:3-5).
The evidence of salvation is two-fold. The internal evidence is the direct witness of the Holy Spirit (Romans 8:16). The external evidence is the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23). We become a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17) and we are transformed into the image of Christ (2 Corinthians 3:18).
6. Baptism and Communion are Ordinances of the Church and Important to the life of Every Believer
BAPTISM IN WATER: The Scripture teaches that all who repent and believe in Christ are to be baptized by being immersed in water (Matthew 28:19). Baptism is a public profession of faith in Christ. It is symbolic of the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ, and it is a declaration to the world that we have died to sin and have been raised with Christ to walk in newness of life (Romans 6:4).
COMMUNION: The Lord’s Table consists of two elements: the bread and cup. Those elements are symbolic of the body and blood of Christ. Communion is a memorial of Christ’s sufferings on the cross and a celebration of our salvation. It is an opportunity for a believer to examine oneself and repent in order to experience the forgiveness granted to us in the cross.
