Our Beliefs

 

We hold these vital beliefs:

The divine inspiration of the Old and New Testaments, which are wholly trustworthy and authoritative in all matters of faith and conduct, and reveal God's plan for all the nations.

 

One God, externally existent in three persons - Father, Son and Holy Spirit, Who is unwilling that any should perish, but that all come to repentance.

 

Jesus of Nazareth as the Son of God, God manifest in the flesh, and born of a virgin.

 

Jesus lived without sin, was crucified for our sins, was bodily raised for our justification, ascended to take His place at the right hand of God, and is coming again in Glory. It is in His name that repentance and remission of sins are to be preached to all nations.

 

The personal, perpetual mission of the Holy Spirit who convicts the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment, and Who indwells believers to enable them to live holy lives, to minister to one another, and to witness concerning Christ.

 

The alienation and separation of persons from God and their dependence on the grace of God manifested in Jesus Christ; in salvation through the atoning work of Christ received by grace through faith.

 

The continuance of the Lord's Supper and Baptism as taught in the New Testament. The church as a divine institution, essentially one upon earth as the Body of Christ, to which God has committed the message of reconciliation for all nations.

 

The necessity of righteousness and benevolence on the part of all Christians, love being a mark of a disciple.
