THE BIBLE
That the bible is the inspired Word of God, a divinely preserved, “lamp for our feet and light for our path.” It is
absolute in its authority, complete in it's revelation and without error.
(2 Timothy 3:16; I Peter 1:20, 21)
JESUS
That Jesus Christ in the flesh was both God and man, and He died for our sins and arose from the dead.
(John 1:1-4; Philippians 2:5-8; I Corinthians 15:1-8)
THE VALUE OF PEOPLE
That every person has worth as a creation of God, but “all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.”
(Romans 4:12)
SIN AND SALVATION
That forgiveness of sins and the promise of eternal life are available to all who will make Jesus Lord and Savior.
(Acts 4:12)
Those who wish to accept Christ and receive His grace must believe in Him, repent of sin, confess their faith, and be baptized into Him.
(Ephesians 2:8-9; Mark 16:16; Romans 10:9-10; Acts 2:38)
That after following God’s plan to accept Christ, we must remain faithful and loyal to Him “unto the point of death.” (Revelation 2:10)
THE LOCAL CHURCH
That the church is the body of Christ on earth and exists to save the lost and edify the saved. To love God, Love other and serve both
(Ephesians 4:13-18)
That Jesus Christ will one day return for those who have made Him Lord.
(Acts 1:11; I Thessalonians 4:13-18)
SOCIAL ISSUES
We are aware there are many sins GOD desires to protect us from — racism, prejudice, gluttony, sexual promiscuity, adultery, etc. This is our attempt to address the complex social issues that surface most often in our culture and church today. As you consider these, remember that we are all equally in need of God’s grace.
We believe that God created marriage to be exclusively the union between one man and one woman, and that sexual intimacy is to occur exclusively within that union.
Genesis 2:24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh
Jeremiah 29:6 Marry and have sons and daughters; find wives for your sons and give your daughters in marriage......
Isaiah 62:5 As a young man marries a young woman, so will your Builder marry you; as a bridegroom rejoices over his bride, so will your God rejoice over you
Leviticus 18:22 ‘Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable.
We believe that God wonderfully and immutably creates each person as male or female, and that these two distinct, complementary genders together reflect the image and nature of God. We believe that gender is assigned by God at birth and the Holy Scripture does not permit an individual to alter their sexual identity physically or otherwise.
Genesis 1:27 So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.
