We are a body of believers who are committed to the teaching of the Bible:
CONCERNING GOD
God is the Deity, the Godhead; He is composed of:
God the Father . . . Origin of heaven and the universe and author of all life (Acts 17:28), and one to whom each person must give account (Acts 17:30,31).
Christ. . .Eternally divine, who is the only begotten Son of God, and Creator of heaven and earth, but who came to earth in the form of humanity (Phil. 2:5-8), to become the Atonement for the sins of mankind. (1 John 2:1-2).
The Holy Spirit . . . The promised Comforter by whom was revealed to the apostles and inspired writers, the infallible and unchangeable Scriptures. (2 Pet.1:20,21).
CONCERNING CHRIST
The only hope of salvation for man because of His sacrificial death as an expression of Divine love and grace to become God’s means to reconcile sinful man to a forgiving God. . There is no other way to God, the Father (John 14:6) and to Him has been given all authority in spiritual matters. He is worthy of all our submission and praise (Phil. 2:9-11).
CONCERNING THE BIBLE
The Bible is the inspired, infallible and unchangeable Revelation of God. By it alone can man be governed for the highest and noblest spiritual life and moral behavior. Man’s spiritual journey must recognize no other creed or authority outside the Bible (John 12:46- 50).
CONCERNING SALVATION
Recovery of sinful man is God’s desire for all (1 Peter 3:9). and is made possible by the grace of God. This salvation is appropriated by man’s faith in the Word of God and obedience to the simple requirements stated in the gospel. Forgiveness of sins can be found only by faith in Christ when the sinner repents of sins, confesses the Sonship of Christ and is immersed with Christ in baptism (Acts 2:38; Romans 6:3-5). Spiritual growth and development in the likeness of Christ is the noble purpose of the true child of God.
CONCERNING THE CHURCH
The love that God and Christ have for the church cannot be overstated (Eph. 5:25-27. The church is “the ones called out” (from sin, darkness and death) and consists of the body of believers redeemed by the blood of Christ. Christ is the one who adds “the saved” to His spiritual family. All who love Him, believe His Word and “obey the gospel” can be assured of a place in the eternal kingdom of God.
CONCERNING LEADERSHIP
By divine decree, the church is under the oversight of spiritually qualified men who are called “elders” or “overseers” in the New Testament (Acts 20:28; 1 Peter 5:1-4). The work and worship of the body, under the guidance of elders / shepherds, is carried out by scripturally appointed “deacons” and by all faithful Christians who serve in loving, caring submission to God as directed in the Bible.
These remarks are not meant to be a statement of rules or creed. They are simply a concise and brief overview of the basic foundation of our faith based on the Inspired Scriptures. We would be more than happy to expand these thoughts with anyone in a personal and deeper study.
