What We Believe
We believe in one God and that He is all-powerful, creative, and ever-present.
We also believe that he is revealed as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (the Trinity).
We also believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the second member of the Trinity. He was revealed as fully man while maintaining His God-hood, and though he died for our sins, He was raised to life, conquering death. The third member of the Trinity is the Holy Spirit who convicts people of their sins and leads people to holiness and commitment to God. The Bible is considered the Church’s authority and is fully inspired, both Old and New Testaments, revealing the will of God concerning the means of our salvation. Anything that is contrary to these Scriptures cannot be included as a part of these beliefs.
We believe in sin, both original and personal. Original sin is that which was committed by our first parents and remains in every individual, even after salvation. It is only when we have finally met God that this sin is purged from our soul. Personal sin is an act that is committed that is known to be contrary to God’s will and unless repented, will lead to eternal death. To provide a way out of sin, God graciously provided the atoning blood of Jesus, which provides the only grounds for salvation. Every human being has a choice, though, to accept this grace or to deny it, as well as to choose between right and wrong.
We also believe that every person is of need of repentance, which is a turning away from one’s sinful nature to believe in God, being led by His Spirit.
We believe that when someone turns to God, God grants them a full pardon from all past guilt and releases from the penalty of sin. This new believer is then given distinctive spiritual life and is adopted as one of God’s children. All of this occurs simultaneously. After one is regenerated, we believe that there is another stage of complete devotement to God where love is made perfect, cleansing one’s heart from sin.
We believe in the Church in that it is a community of people who gather together to confess Jesus Christ as Lord. We also believe that there are two primary sacraments, instituted by Jesus Christ himself: baptism and communion.
And we believe in the power of divine healing, offered up in the prayer of faith.
Finally, we believe in the second coming of Christ and in the resurrection of the dead, all being brought before the throne of God for final judgment.
