Doctrine
The Bible – We believe the Bible to be the inspired, inerrant, infallible, sufficient and authoritative Word of God.
God – We believe that there is one God, who exists eternally in three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Jesus Christ – We believe in the full deity and humanity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His substitutionary and atoning death, His bodily resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and His personal bodily return in power and glory.
The Holy Spirit – We believe in the full deity of the Holy Spirit, who indwells every believer, enabling obedience and spiritual growth. He preserves each one unto eternity.
Man - We believe that Man was directly created by God in His own image, but immediately fell into sin. Adam’s original rebellion against God resulted in God’s curse of the earth and the corruption of the entire human race.
Salvation – We believe that all men are sinful, separated from God, and unable to save himself. Salvation is only through grace alone by faith alone in Christ alone.
The Church – We believe that the universal church is comprised of all the redeemed in Christ. We believe commitment to the local church is necessary for the spiritual health of all those who are saved.
Judgement - We believe in the bodily resurrection of both the saved and the unsaved and a final judgment at the end of time, followed by the everlasting blessedness of the saved in heaven and the everlasting punishment of the lost in hell.
Expository Preaching – We teach the primacy of biblical preaching in the life of the church. The inerrancy, authority and sufficiency of Scripture demand its continuous ministry in the church and the world.
Divine Sovereignty – We teach that God is enthroned in the heavens, actively governing the affairs of providence. He is saving those whom He has chosen before time began and is directing the flow of human history and world events for the praise of His own glory.
Elder Led – We teach the local church is to be led by a plurality of godly men from within the congregation. These mature men are called elders and are supported by the service of other spiritual men known as deacons.
Spiritual Gifts – We teach that many of the gifts of the Holy Spirit are in use today. However, the miraculous & revelatory gifts were restricted to the apostolic age during which time the New Testament was being written.
