What We Believe
1. The Bible is the inspired Word of God, supreme and final authority for faith and practice for the church and its members.
2 Peter 1:3,4; 2 Timothy 3:16,17
2. Jesus Christ is our Lord and God, who created all that exists, who secured salvation from the penalty of hell (to all who receive Him), through His death, burial and bodily resurrection. John 1:1-3; Colossians 1:16-18; Hebrews 1:8,9; 1 Corinthians 15:1-4;
Acts 4:12, 1 John 5:12
3. Salvation is by grace through faith in the substitution death of Jesus. Ephesians 2:8-10; Acts 4:12
4. Every Christian is baptized by the Holy Spirit when he believes the gospel of Jesus Christ. At that moment he also receives a spiritual gift(s) to be used to edify the body of Christ. Galatians 3:2; Ephesians 1:13; 1 Corinthians 12:11-13; 1 Peter 4:10
5. Every believer is a priest and is to offer up spiritual sacrifices to God. 1 Peter 2:9,10; Romans 12:1,2; Hebrews 13:15,16;
Psalm 51:17
6. God gave 2 ordinances to be celebrated by the church-baptism by immersion; and the Lord’s Supper. Matthew 28:19,20;
1 Corinthians 11:23-26
7. We believe that Jesus Christ could return at any time and take His church out of this world to be with Him forever.
