What We Believe
God
-There is one true God, He is everlasting, omnipotent, omniscient, holy and alone deserving of worship.
-God manifest Himself in the Godhead as three distinct persons, all equal and all God: God the Father, God the Son, Jesus Christ, and God the Holy Spirit.
-That Jesus Christ was born of a virgin, lived a perfect life, died on the cross for the sins of mankind, and rose for mankind's justification.
-That the Holy Spirit is on the earth convicting mankind of sin and indwelling each believer. He seals the believer until the day of redemption.
-That the Holy Spirit is the administrator of the Gifts of The Spirit giving them to man as He wills. -That Jesus Christ is coming again for His Church at the rapture and coming again to set up His kingdom and the end time events through the New Heaven and New Earth.

The Bible
-The Bible is a collection of 66 books from Genesis to Revelation
-The Holy Spirit divinely inspires it as holy men of old wrote it.
-The Bible is given to mankind to led to salvation, for instruction, reproof, and each believer needs to study it's precepts and apply them to their lives.
(2 Timothy 2:15; 2 Timothy 3:15-17; 2 Peter 1:19-21)
Creation
-We believe in the literal 7-day account of creation as put forth in the first two chapters of Genesis.
Sin & Salvation
-Sin first occurred in the heavens where Lucifer fell due to pride.
-Mankind was created good, without sin but a freewill to choose to do right or wrong.
-That Adam's fall in the garden gave the human race the sin nature and all now need a Saviour.
-Jesus Christ came to be a Saviour to all mankind.
-Salvation is a gift given freely for all to accept or reject.
-When a person is saved, the blood of Jesus saves us from sin, and we are justified (that is the pardon from sin, the gift of eternal life, we receive His righteousness not by anything we do but by His grace). (Is 14:12-25; Romans 5; Luke 19:10; Ephesians 2:8-9; Hebrews 9:12-15)
The Local Church
-The Church is a called out assembly of believers led by the pastor and deacons.
-The responsibility of the local church is to make disciples, to build the church, to teach and instruct them as Jesus commanded.
-The Church has 2 ordnances: Baptism and Communion. Baptism by immersion upon confession of faith and communion as often as they feel led by God. -That every believer needs to belong to a local assembly of believers.
