For a deeper look at our beliefs, please see the 2000 Baptist Faith and Message.
BIBLE
We believe that the Bible is the inspired, inerrant, and infallible Word of God.
TRINITY
We believe that the God of the Bible is three distinct persons while being one is essence. We believe in God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.
JESUS
We believe that Jesus is God. We believe He was born from a virgin. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit. He lived a sinless life. He is the Lamb of God who came to take away the sins of the world. He died upon a cross, was buried in a borrowed tomb, rose again the third day, and ascended back to heaven and is coming again for His church.
HOLY SPIRIT
We believe that the Holy Spirit is a member of the Trinity. He convicts sinners of sin and judgment. He also comes to live in those who put faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ.
SALVATION
We believe that man is born in sin and must be saved. Salvation must be received through repentance and faith. Salvation if the gift of God. Salvation is eternal and can never be taken away.
BAPTISM
We believe those who have put their faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ are commanded to follow the Lord Jesus is water baptism by emersion.
HEAVEN
We believe all those who have put their faith in the finished work of Jesus have the guarantee and promise of eternal life and a home in heaven.
HELL
We believe that Hell is the final place of punishment for those who sin against God and die having never trusted, by faith, the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross.
CHURCH
We believe that the church is made up of those who have trusted in the finished work of Jesus Christ. The Church is God’s plan to evangelize the unsaved and equip those who believe in Jesus. The church is to be governed by Jesus and His Word (the Bible).
GIVING
We believe that one tenth of the believer’s income belongs to the Lord and is to be given to the local church. Free will offerings and special offerings are above and beyond the tithe (tenth).
MARRIAGE
We believe that marriage is between one man and one woman until death separates them.
GENDER
We believe that God created them male and female only. Gender is assigned by God alone at conception.
