What We Believe
JESUS
is the Head of the Church.
THE BIBLE
is the Holy Spirit-inspired Word of God, His revelation of Himself and His will for man. It is the Christian’s guidebook to a purposeful life, a road map to heaven and the only standard by which right and wrong is to be judged.
IN UNITY
on matters of faith, liberty in freedom of opinion, and in all things, love.
We are not the only body of Christians; rather, we are
CHRISTIANS
only.
We
SPEAK
where the Bible speaks and are
SILENT
as a church voice where the Bible is silent.
One is saved by having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ (
John 14:6
,
Acts 4:12
). One obtains that relationship by earnestly seeking Him as God’s Word directs:
BELIEVE
that He is the only begotten Son of God, sent
to save us (
John 3:16
).
CONFESS
our faith in Him to those about us (
Matthew
10:32-33
).
REPENT
from our sinful ways and turn to follow Christ
daily in our lives (
Luke 13:3
,
Acts 17:30
).
BE BAPTIZED
for the remission of our sins and the gift
of the Holy Spirit (
Acts 2:38
& 22:16,
Romans 6:3-6
).
One retains a personal relationship with Jesus Christ by remaining faithful to
GOD’S WORD
(
2 Timothy 2:12
,
Revelation 2:10
,
Hebrews 3:6
,
Hebrews 3:14
).
It is the privilege and responsibility of all Christians to take the “Good News” to
OTHERS.
The local
CONGREGATION
to be autonomous – self-existing, with no superior officer or body to oversee them collectively. We acknowledge only the leadership of
JESUS CHRIST
beyond the local leadership of the
ELDERS.
The main purpose of the believer and the church existing is to bring
GLORY, HONOR, and PRAISE
to the Heavenly Father, the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit in and through each endeavor undertaken.
