What We Believe

Statement of Faith

The Scriptures — We believe the Bible, both Old and New Testaments, is the inspired, infallible Word of God.

The Godhead — We believe in one God eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

Salvation — We believe salvation is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, evidenced by repentance and a transformed life.

Sanctification — We believe in a life of holiness, without which no one shall see the Lord.

The Baptism of the Holy Ghost — We believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance.

The Ordinances — Water Baptism, the Lord's Supper, and the Washing of the Saints' Feet.

The Return of Christ — We believe in the personal, imminent, and premillennial return of Jesus Christ.
