What We Believe
The purpose of this Church shall be the preaching of the
Gospel of Jesus Christ as a soul-saving institution; the
administration of the ordinances of the New Testament;
the promotion of the spiritual growth of its members; the
establishment of Christian education; and the evangelization
of the world as a Bible-believing, missionary-minded,
evangelistically-alive, independent Baptist Church.
Declaration of Faith:
(1) We believe that the Scriptures of the Old and the
New Testaments are plenarily and verbally-inspired by
God without any admixture of error in truth; that the Bible
is reliable in science, history and every other matter it
discusses; and that the Bible is the supreme and final
authority in all matters of faith and practice.
II Timothy 3:16,17; II Peter 1:19-21.
(2) We believe in one Triune God, eternally existing in
three Persons--Father, Son and Holy Spirit--co-eternal
in being, co-identical in nature, co-equal in power and glory,
and having the same attributes and perfections. Exodus 20:2,3;
I John 5:7; Matthew 28:19,20; II Corinthians 13:14;
I Corinthians 8:6.
(3) We believe that God the Father is perfect in holiness,
infinite in wisdom, and measureless in power; that He concerns
Himself mercifully in the affairs of men; that He hears and
answers prayer; and that He saves from Hell all who come to
Him through Jesus Christ. Psalm 22:3; John 17:11;
Psalm 147:5; I John 3:3; Matthew 19:26; John 3:16;
Matthew 6:26, 28-30; Psalm 65:2; Hebrews 11:6:
Romans 5:8: I Timothy 2:5: John 14:6.
(4) We believe in the absolute Deity of the Lord Jesus
Christ; His eternal existence as God, co-equal with the
Father and the Holy Spirit; His incarnation by means of the
virgin birth; His sinlessness; His vicarious death through the
shedding of His blood as an atonement for the remission of our
sins; His literal, bodily resurrection from the dead; His ascension;
His present high-priestly ministry in Heaven for believers;
and His personal, visible return to earth. I John 5:20; John 1:18;
John 14:9; Hebrews 1:8; Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:18-25; Luke
1:26-35; I Peter 2:22; Romans 3:25; Hebrews 9:14; Luke 24:36-43;
Acts 10:40,41; Acts 1:9; Luke 24:51; Hebrews 8:1,2; I John 2:1;
Acts 1:11; I Thessalonians 4:16.
(5) We believe that the Holy Spirit is a Divine Person, equal
with the Father and Son and of the same nature; that He
convicts the world of sin, righteousness and judgment;
that he bears witness to the Truth; that He is the Agent
of the New Birth; that He baptizes all true believers into
body of Christ, indwelling and sanctifying all of them,
sealing and thus securing them unto the day of
redemption; that He endues, guides, teaches, and helps
believers; and that it is the privilege and duty of all the
saved to be filled with the Spirit, the evidence being
soul-winning power. Matthew 28:19; I Corinthians 12:12-14;
