Our Beliefs

The Bible is the inspired, inerrant, and perfectly preserved Word of God. It is true in all that it teaches. As the flawless Word of God, it is our only authority for what we believe and how we live (2 Tim 3:16-17).

There is only one God. The One God has revealed Himself to us as our Father, in His Son Jesus Christ, and through the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ is the Son of God—the One God manifest in and through an authentic human life. The fullness of the godhead dwells in Jesus bodily. To see Jesus is to see God. (Deut. 6:4; John 14:9; Eph. 4:4-6; Col. 2:9; 1 Tim. 3:16, John 10:30).

Everyone has sinned and needs salvation. Salvation comes by grace through faith and obedience to the Bible’s plan of salvation: repentance, water baptism in Jesus name, and the infilling of the Holy Ghost. (Acts 2:38, Rom 3:23-25; 6:23; Eph 2:8-9).

The gospel is the good news that Jesus lived a sinless life, died for our sins, was buried, and rose again three days later. We express our belief in the gospel through our obedience to the gospel. We obey the gospel and apply it to our lives by repenting of our sins (death to sin), being baptized in water in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of our sins (burial), and receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit (resurrection) with the initial evidence of speaking in other tongues. This threefold experience is the consistent pattern of conversion in the early church and today. (1 Cor. 15:1-4; Mark 1:15; Acts 15:7-9; Rom 6:3-4; Acts 2:4, 37-41; Acts 8:9-17; Acts 10:1-48; Acts 19:1-7).

Jesus Christ is coming again to rapture his church. In the end will be the final resurrection and the final judgment. The righteous will inherit eternal life in heaven with Jesus Christ, and the unrighteous eternal death. (1 Thes. 4:16-17; Titus 2:11-14; Matt. 25:31-34, 41; Rev 20:11-15).
