Beliefs

BibleImage
We believe the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments to be verbally inspired by God and without error in the original autographs. They are the supreme and final authority in faith, life and standards of education.

We believe in one God, the Creator of heaven and earth, who eternally exists in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

We believe in Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, the Eternal Word manifested in flesh, conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, true God and true man. We believe that He died for our sins and that all who profess Him as Lord and Savior become children of God. We believe that He rose from the dead, lives on high as Head of the Church, and shall return to judge the world and reign over all.

We believe that man was created in the image and likeness of God, that he fell through disobedience and, as a consequence, lost his spiritual life, becoming dead in sins, and subject to the power of the devil. This spiritual death has been transmitted to the entire human race so that every man needs regeneration of soul, body, and mind. The new man in Christ is enabled to worship and serve God and to enjoy Him forever.

We believe that salvation is wholly "by grace through faith," free to all who believe and receive the substitutionary blood atonement of Jesus Christ, who died and rose again in our place in order that we might be declared righteous, and adopted into the family of God.

We believe that the Holy Spirit, being the Third person of the Godhead, convicts men of sin and regenerates believers unto a holy life. We believe that He is the Teacher of the Word of God and the Light of our minds, our affections, and our morals.
