Core Beliefs

Bible:

The Holy Bible was written by men divinely inspired and is God’s revelation of Himself to man. It is a perfect treasure of divine instruction. It has God for its author, salvation for its end, and truth, without any mixture of error, for its matter. (Matt. 5:18; 2 Tim. 3:16; 2 Pet. 1:21)

God:

There is one and only one living and true God. The eternal triune God reveals Himself to us as Father, Son and Holy Spirit, with distinct personal attributes, but without division of nature, essence or being. (Gen. 1:1, 26; Deut. 6:4; Jn. 4:24, 10:30; Heb. 1:8; Acts 5:1-4; Gal. 4:6)

Jesus Christ:

Christ is the eternal Son of God, conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He honored and fulfilled the divine law by His personal obedience. In His substitutionary death on the cross, He made provision for the redemption of humanity from sin. (Matt. 1:23-25; Jn. 1:1-14, 20; Acts 1:21, 2:24-27, 4:12; Rom. 3:21-25; 1 Cor. 15; Eph. 2:8-9; Titus 2:13)

Holy Spirit:

The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God, fully divine. He exalts Christ. He convicts men of sin, of righteousness and of judgment. He enlightens and empowers the believer and the Church in worship, evangelism and service. (Matt. 28:19; Jn. 3:3-7; Rom. 8:9; 1 Cor. 2:12, 6:19, 12:13; Eph. 4:30; Titus 3:5)

Humanity:

Man is the special creation of God, made in His own image. He created them male and female as the crowning work of His creation. By his free choice man sinned against God and brought sin into the human race. The sacredness of humanity personality is evident in that God created man in His own image, and in that Christ died for man; therefore every person of every race possesses of full dignity and is worthy of respect and Christian love. (Gen. 1:26-27, 2:21-23; Rom. 3:10-18, 5:12-14; Jas. 3:9)

Salvation:

Salvation comes to all who repent of their sin and receive by faith the Lord Jesus Christ, and are born again of the Holy Spirit thereby becoming a child of God. They are thereafter indwelt by the Holy Spirit whom makes possible a life of personal holiness, and a walk of obedience to the will of God. All who are truly born again are “kept by the power of God” and, therefore, are incapable of losing their salvation. (Rom. 3:23, 6:23, 5:8, 10:13, 8:1-2, 10:9-10, 1 Pet. 1:3-5; Gal. 4:4-7)

Resurrection and Judgments:

God, in His own time and in His own way will bring the world to its appropriate end. Jesus Christ will return personally and visibly to raise the dead and judge all men in righteousness. The unrighteous being consign to Hell {the eternal lake of fire}. The righteous receiving their reward, to dwell forever in Heaven with the Lord. (Matt. 25; Rev. 20:11-22:9)

Church:

A New Testament Church of the Lord Jesus is an autonomous local congregation of baptized believers, associated by covenant in the faith and fellowship of the gospel and seeking to extend the gospel to the ends of the earth. The New Testament speaks also of the Church as the Body of Christ, which includes all of the redeemed of all the ages, believers from every tribe, tongue, people and nation. (Matt. 28:19; Eph. 1:22-23; 1 Thess. 1:1; Acts 2:41; 1 Cor. 11:23-24)

Great Commission:

It is the duty and privilege of every follower of Christ and every Church of the Lord Jesus Christ to endeavor to make disciples of all nations; to seek constantly to win the lost to Christ by verbal witness under girded by a Christian lifestyle, and by other methods in harmony with the gospel of Christ. (Matt. 28:19-20; Jn. 15:8, 17:18, 20:21; 2 Cor. 5:20-21)

Spiritual Gifts:

 Every believer has at least one spiritual gift. When each believer exercises their gift, he or she contributes to the ministry and maturing of the Body of Christ. (Rom. 12:3-8; 1 Cor. 12; Eph. 4:1-16)

The Family:

 God has ordained the family as the foundational institution of human society. It is composed of per­ sons related to one another by marriage, blood, or adoption.

Marriage is the uniting of one man and one woman in covenant commitment for a lifetime. It is God's unique gift to reveal the union between Christ and His church and to provide for the man and the woman in marriage the framework for intimate companionship, the channel of sexual expression according to biblical standard s, and the means for procreation of the human race.

 The husband and wife are of equal worth before God, since both are created in God's image. The marriage relationship models the way God relates to His people. A husband is to love his wife as Christ loved the church. He has the God-given responsibility to provide for, to protect, and to lead his family. A wife is to submit herself graciously to the servant leadership of her husband even as the church willingly submits to the headship of Christ She, being in the image of God as is her husband and thus equal to him, has the God-given responsibility to respect her husband and to serve as his helper in managing the household and nurturing the next generation.

Children, from the moment of conception, are a blessing and heritage from the Lord. Parents are to demonstrate to their children God's pattern for marriage. Parents are to teach their children spiritual and moral values and to lead them, through consistent lifestyle example and loving discipline, to make choices based on biblical truth. Children are to honor and obey their parents.
