Our Beliefs
Simply put, the Bible. The church is divine in it’s establishment. It needs to be today, what it was when it was revealed to first century inspired penman. We believe the Bible is inspired by God and all we need concerning religious matters. Therefore, we have no need for any man made creeds, councils, catechisms, synods, doctrines or anything authored by men. The Bible teaches the Godhead consists of God the father, Jesus the son, and the Holy Spirit.
These are three different personalities who possess the same nature. God created the universe and everything in it. (Genesis 1). The Bible is our guide and pattern for “all things that pertain to life and godliness” (2 Peter 1:3). We seek to be Christians and Christians only who are a part of the church found in the Bible. We do not follow any creeds, councils, or doctrines authored by men; we only only follow the commands and principles authored by God.
God
God gave His only begotten Son to die in order for us to be saved. Jesus said He would build His church, and He did (Matthew 16:18, Acts 2:47). He gave us the Gospel, the implanted word which is able to save our souls (James 1:21). God wants all men to be saved and Jesus is preparing a place for us in Heaven (1 Timothy 2:4, John 14:2).
Our Response
Salvation comes by the grace of God. His mercy and love has made salvation available, but we must respond in a positve way to His gracious offer. We must have faith in God and in the Lord Jesus Christ (Hebrews 11:6, John 8:24). All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. Repenting of our sins is essential in order for us to saved (Acts 17:30 Luke 13:3,5). God has ordained that all who believe and are willing to repent of their sins are to be baptized in water in order to have them washed away and forgiven (Acts 22:16, Acts 2:38). Moving forward the Christian must live faithfully unto death (Revelation 2:10). The faithful Christian will observe all that is taught in the New Testament and live it best we can.
Worship
Worship must be according to what God has commanded, not what man likes or prefers. He wants people to worship Him in spirit and in truth. While a fervent attitude is necessary, worship must also be according to truth found on the pages of the New Testament.
