We Believe

God the trinity

God is a person who has revealed himself as the trinity (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit). Three Persons and yet one God. (Duet. 6:4, Mathew 28:19, 1 Corinthians 8:6)

The Bible

The Bible, composed of the Old Testament and the New Testament, is a divine revelation, the original autographs of which were verbally inspired by the Holy Spirit. (2 Timothy 3:16, 2 Peter 1:21)

Jesus Christ

Jesus Christ is the image of the invisible God, which means He is Himself God. He took upon Himself our nature, being conceived by the Holy Ghost and born of the Virgin Mary. He diedupon the cross as a substitutionary sacrifice for the sin of the world. He arose from the dead in the body, was glorified and is now our interceding High Priest at the right hand of God. He will come again personally and visibly to set up his kingdom and to judge the quick and the dead. (Col. 1:15, Phil. 2:5-8, Mathew 1:18-25, 1 Peter 2:24, Luke 24, Hebrews 4:14-16, Acts 1:9-11, 1 Thes. 4:16-18, Mathew 25:31-46, Rev. 11:15-17, 2:4-6 and 11-15)

Salvation by Grace

Man was created in the image of God but fell into sin and is lost, this is true of all men, and except a man be born again he cannot see the kingdom of God. Salvation is by grace through faith in Christ, who bore our sins in His own body on the cross, the retribution of the wicked and the unbelieving, and the reward of the righteous are everlasting, and as the reward of the righteous are everlasting, and as the reward is concious, so is retribution. (Gen. 1:26-27, ROmans 3:10-23, John 3:3, Acts 13:38, 39, 4-12, John 3:16, Mathew 25:46, 2 Corinthians 5:1, 2 Thes. 1:7-10)

The Church

The Church is an elect company of believers baptized by the Holy Spirit into one body. Its mission is to witness its Head, Jesus Christ, preaching the gospel among all nations. The church will be caught up to meet the Lord in the air and so shall ever be with the Lord. (Acts 2:41, 14:13-17, Eph. 1:3-6, Corinthians 12:12-13, Mathew 28:19-20, Acts 1:6-8, 1 Thes. 4:16-18)

Baptism

We beliieve baptism is an outward testimony of our faith in Christ. (Mathew 3:13-17, 28:19-20, Mark 16:16, Acts 8:36-39, Mathew 26:26-29, Mark 14:22-25, Luke 22:19-20, 1 Corinthians 11:23-34)

Communion

We believe communion is a memorial celebration of Jesus Christ's broken body and shed blood. (Mathew 3:13-17, 28:19-20, Mark 16:16, Ac;ts 8:36-39, Mathew 26:26-29, Mark 14:22-25, Luke 22:19-20, 1 Corinthians 11:23-34)
