BIBLE
We believe in the infallible, verbal inspiration of the whole Bible and
that the Bible is the all-sufficient rule of faith and practice (Psalm
119:160; 2 Tim. 3:16, 17).
TRINITY
We believe in the personal triune God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, equal in divine perfection (Matt. 28:19).
JESUS
We believe that the suffering and death of Jesus Christ was
substitutionary for all mankind and is efficacious only to those who
believe (Isa. 53:6; Heb. 2:9; 1 Peter 2:24; 1 Peter 3:18; 2 Peter 3:9;
1 John 2:2).
SALVATION
We believe that sinners are saved wholly by grace through faith in
Jesus Christ, and the requisites to regeneration are repentance toward
God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ (Luke 13:3-5; John 3:16-18; Acts
20:21; Rom. 6:23; Eph. 2:8, 9), and that the Holy Spirit convicts
sinners, regenerates, seals, secures, and indwells every believer (John
3:6; John 16:8, 9; Rom. 8:9-11; 1 Cor. 6:19, 20; Eph. 4:30; Titus 3:5).
ETERNAL SECURITY
We believe that all who trust Jesus Christ for salvation are eternally
secure in Him and shall not perish (John 3:36; John 5:24; John
10:27-30; Rom. 8:35-39; Heb. 10:39; 1 Peter 1:5).
CHURCH
We believe that Jesus Christ established His church during His ministry
on earth and that it is always a local, visible assembly of
scripturally baptized believers in covenant relationship to carry out
the Commission of the Lord Jesus Christ. Each church is an independent,
self-governing body, and no other ecclesiastical body may exercise
authority over it. We believe that Jesus Christ gave the Great
Commission to the New Testament churches only, and that He promised the
perpetuity of His churches (Matt. 4:18-22; Matt. 16:18; Matt. 28:19,
20; Mark 1:14-20; John 1:35-51; Eph. 3:21).
