“Upholding the Lordship of Jesus Christ as revealed in the Scriptures, that ALL
may know the Savior and experience life in HIS name”

   The Bible: I believe both the Old and New Testaments were written by humans directly inspired by God as they wrote and that the original manuscripts were without error. They contain nothing more and nothing less than what God wants to reveal to us. They are God’s revelation to mankind, and are the supreme and final authority. They reveal the will of God in 66 books.

    God: I believe there is only one God who is in and beyond all dimensions of our Universe, including time. God is revealed in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

  The Father: The Father has been revealed as that person of the One God who is the ultimate authority and will. We only come to the Father through Jesus Christ. “Father” is a name only to those who are his children, and believers are adopted children who can use this name.

    The Son: I believe that Jesus Christ is revealed as the person of God who represents God to mankind and as a human represents mankind to God. Jesus was conceived of God the Holy Spirit and born of the woman Mary, who was a virgin. He is thus the One Mediator between God and humans. His is the Name above every name, and at this tñne all authority is given to Him. At the end of His earthly life, He died an atoning, sacrificial death for our salvation. As Great High Priest, He took His blood into the one true Holy of Holies, eternal in Heaven, and made the atonement for sin. We look to Jesus Christ as our Redeemer, Lord, and Savior.

   
    The Holy Spirit: I believe that the Holy Spirit is revealed in Scriptures as the person of God whose work includes conviction of sin, righteousness, and judgement. At salvation, the Holy Spirit baptizes the believer into the body of Christ, permanently indwells the believer, and seats the believer in the triune God for eternity. There is one spiritual baptism at salvation, and many fillings for service to God and mankind. Our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit who leads us in holy living. He is also a teacher and intercessor when we do not know the way.

  Ordinances: I believe that there are two ordinances for believers: The communion of the Lord’s Supper, and the believers baptism by         immersion as a symbol of our death, burial, and resurrection spiritually with Jesus and resulting newness of life.

The Local Church: I believe that the church is a local body of baptized believers with Christ as its head and the Holy Spirit as its guide in the will of the Father. Churches should promote God’s work by cooperating together for missions and many other joint efforts. The local church is under God’s sovereignty, not controlled by other persons, bodies, or groups. The church is made up of believers and was bought by the blood of Jesus Christ(Acts 20:28). The command to the church is Matthew 28:18-20, Mark 16:15-18, and Acts 1:8
