Doctrine

Our Beliefs

We Believe And Teach...

  • THAT the Bible is the inerrant and infallible Word of God.
    (2 Timothy 3:15;2 Peter 1:21)
  • THAT God is a Trinity, (Father, Son, and Spirit), and that He is absolutely holy, loving, all powerful, and in control of everything.
    (Isaiah 6:3;Daniel 4:35;Ephesians 1:11;John 3:16)
  • THAT Jesus Christ is God's only Son, truly God, who was born of a virgin and became man, fully man, to die on the cross for the salvation of sinners. He arose from the dead physically and soon will come back to eath to judge the living and the dead.
    (John 1;Acts 1:3;Romans 5:8;1 Timothy 1:15;2 Timothy 4:1)
  • THAT every person is a fallen creature, who sins daily in thought, word, and deed, being totally incapable of pleasing God, and faces eternal, conscious suffering in hell.
    (Romans 3:10-12,8:7,8;Hebrews 9:27;Matthew 25:41).
  • THAT God commands every person to repent and believe the Gospel.
    (Acts 17:30,31).
  • THAT the Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity, who convinces sinners of their need for Christ, causes a change in their hearts, and enables them to believe the Gospel and to grow into the likeness of Christ.
    (Acts 5:3,4; John 16:8-11;Titus 3:5;2 Corinthians 3:18;Galatians 5:22)
  • THAT the church is a local congregation of baptized believers under Christ's rule, composed solely of repentant and believing sinners who confess Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.
    (Romans 10:9,10;Ephesians 1:22,23;Matthew 28;19,20;Hebrews 10:19-25).
  • THAT God has ordained the means of preaching and witnessing the Gospel to bring about the salvation of sinners. (Romans 1:16,10:13-17;1 Corinthians 1:21;Mark 16:15)
  • THAT salvation of any person is "By Grace Alone, Through Faith Alone", and that those the Father chose, the Son redeemed, and the Spirit calls and converts.
    (Ephesians 1:4-11;John 10:15,Ephesians 5:25;John 17:2,6:44,37).
  • We look to the 1689 Second London Baptist Confession of Faith as a faithful expression of Biblical Doctrine.
