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  the  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;  Acts  5:3,4;
John 16:7-15                                                                                                    ...more
