WHAT WE BELIEVE
The Bible is the inspired infallible Word of God. (II Tim. 3:15-17) There is one God, who has revealed himself as Father in creation, Son in redemption and Holy Spirit in regeneration. This one God has one body. In Jesus Christ dwells the fulness of the godhead bodily. (Deut. 6:4; Eph. 4:4-6; Col. 2:9; I Tim. 3:16)
All have sinned and need salvation. Salvation comes by grace through faith. (Rom. 3:23; Eph. 2:8) Faith is the first step toward salvation. (Heb. 11:6) Believing moves one to action. (Mark 16:16; John 7:38)
As Jesus died for our sins, was buried, and rose again, we obey the plan of salvation by repenting (dying to sin), being baptized in water in the name of Jesus Christ (burial), and receiving the baptism of the Holy Ghost (resurrection). This is the new birth. (I Cor. 15:1-4; John 3:3-8; Acts 2:4, 37-39; Rom. 6:3-4)
We should live a holy life, inwardly and outwardly. (Rom. 12:1; II Cor. 7:1) The gifts of the Spirit are for the church today. (Mark 16:17-18; I Cor. 12:8-10) Jesus is coming again to catch away His church. After death comes the judgment. (I Thess. 4:16-17; II Cor. 5:10; Rev.20:11-15)How We Worship
