What We Believe
This church receives the Scriptures as its sole authority in all matters of faith and practice. It is the understanding of Christian truth. The Scriptures of the Old and New Testament were given by inspiration of God, and are the only sufficient, certain and authoritative rule of all saving knowledge, faith and obedience.
There is but one God, the Maker, Preserver and Ruler of all things, having in and of Himself all perfections, and being infinite in them all; and to Him all creatures owe the highest love, reverence and obedience. God is revealed to us as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, each with distinct personal attributes, but without division of nature, essence or being.
Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, is the divinely anointed Mediator between God and man. Jesus was born to His mother, Mary while she was still a virgin, she became pregnant through the power of the Holy Spirit.
Jesus, having taken upon Himself human nature, yet without sin, He perfectly fulfilled the law, suffered and died upon the cross for the salvation of sinners. He was buried, and rose again on the third day, and ascended to His Father, at whose hand He ever lived to make intercession for His people.
Regeneration is a change of heart, wrought by the Holy Spirit, who quickens the dead in trespasses and sins, enlightening their minds spiritually and saving to understand the Word of God, and given a new nature, so that they love and practice holiness. It is a work of God’s free and special grace alone.
Repentance is a saving grace wherein a person being convicted by the Holy Spirit, of the manifold evil of his sin, humbles himself with godly sorrow, detesting his sin, and turns toward God from his sin with a purpose and endeavor to walk with God so as to please Him in all things.
Saving faith is the belief, on God’s authority of whatsoever is revealed in His Word concerning Christ, accepting and resting on Him alone for justification, sanctification and glorification. It is wrought in the heart by the Holy Spirit, and is accompanied by all saving graces, and leads to a life of holiness.
This is the Good News about Jesus the Messiah, the Son of God.
The Bible tells us God created everything, including you and me, and He is in charge of everything.
We all sinned when we choose to disobey God. The Bible calls this sin. Sin separates us from God and deserves God's punishment of death.
God provided Hope when He sent Jesus, the perfect solution to our sin problem, to rescue us from the punishment we deserve. It's something we, as sinners, could never earn on our own. Jesus alone saves us.
He lived a perfect life, died on the cross for our sins, and rose again. Because Jesus gave up His life for us, we can be welcomed into God's family for eternity.
It's not enough to just know the Good News of Jesus Christ; we must respond to the Gospel. Believe in your heart that Jesus alone saves you through what He's already done on the cross. Repent, turning from self and sin to Jesus. Tell God and others your faith is in Jesus.
Romans 10:9-10 If you declare with your mouth, "Jesus is LORD," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.
