About Us/What We Believe

 We believe that the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments were given by inspiration of God and are the only authoritative standard of religious faith and practice. But in order to secure a more perfect understanding among ourselves respecting the great doctrines therein revealed and to distinguish ourselves from those who, in our judgment, pervert the gospel or its ordinances, we also profess our belief in the following as among the most important truths taught in the Bible 

 We believe in the existence of one God, infinite in every natural and moral perfection, who has revealed himself as the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.  

  We believe that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, eternally pre-existent with the Father, who by the Holy Spirit was born of the Virgin Mary, took upon himself human nature, obeyed the law, suffered death as a sacrifice for sin, rose from the dead, ascended on high, lives to make intercession and is thus qualified to be an all sufficient Saviour.   

   We believe that salvation is freely offered to all and that it is the duty of all to accept it; but it becomes effectual to none but those who repent of sin and believe on Jesus Christ.  

     We believe that such is the native opposition of the human heart to God, that none do savingly believe in Christ until the heart be renewed. We believe that this regeneration is effected by the Holy Spirit through the instrumentality of the truth and is always followed by holy affections and a godly life. 

      We believe that a Christian Church is a company of baptized believers voluntarily associated in one place to observe the worship and ordinances enjoined by Christ, its sole Head and Lawgiver. We believe that Christian baptism is the immersion of a believer in water, in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. We believe that the Lord’s Supper is a symbolic act of obedience whereby members of the Church, through partaking of the bread and the fruit of the vine, memorialize the death of the Redeemer and anticipate His second coming. We believe that the officers, appointed by Christ for the Church, are Pastors, Elders, and Deacons.
