A Summary of WHAT WE BELIEVE

The Bible

The Bible is the word of God and is the final authority for what we believe and how we should live. We believe that the King James Version is the preserved word of God for English-speaking people.

God

There is one true and living God who is eternal, holy, and the supreme ruler of heaven and earth. There are three persons in the Godhead: Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. This is also known as the Trinity.

Creation

God created all things in six literal days. We accept the Genesis account of creation literally and reject the theory of evolutionary changes of species from lower to higher life forms over long periods of time.

Human Design

God created humans male and female, and He started the institution of marriage which consists of one man and one woman ’til death do they part.

Jesus Christ

Jesus Christ is the eternal God made flesh, miraculously born of a virgin, fully God and fully man without sin. He shed His blood as an atonement for the sins of all humanity.

The Gospel

The good news of Jesus Christ is His death, burial, and resurrection. He died for our sins, was buried, and rose from the dead in victory over death.

Salvation

A person can only be saved from sin by grace through faith. It requires repentance toward God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. It is not by baptism, good works, or universalism.

The Church

The church is a called-out assembly of saved and baptized individuals united by a common faith and set of beliefs. A biblical church has Christ’s authority to preach the gospel, baptize converts, and disciple believers.

Future Events

The next major event in Bible prophecy is the Rapture, followed by Antichrist, Great Tribulation, God’s wrath, Armageddon, Christ’s Millennial Kingdom, new Jerusalem for the saved, and the lake of fire for the lost.
