About Us

We believe the sixty-six Old and New Testament books are the full record of God’s revelation of Himself to mankind. It was written by men divinely inspired and breathed out by the Holy Spirit (Acts 4:25; 2 Tim 3:16). At the center focus of this divine revelation is the testimony of the person and work of Jesus Christ. The divine nature of the Bible means that it is authoritative. The words of Scripture are the very words of God and should be treated as such (2 Pt 1:20-21). The books of the Bible, in their original manuscripts, are inerrant being free from all falsehood, fraud, or deceit (Psalm 12:6; 119:160). The Bible is clear and can be understood by those who seek God (2 Pt 3:16; Duet 6:6). The Bible is necessary for salvation (Rom 10:10), maintaining spiritual life (Matt 4:4), and knowing God’s will (Ps 119:105). Scripture is sufficient for salvation, trusting God, and obeying Him (2 Tim 3:15-17).

We believe there is one living and true God (Jn 5:26) who is eternal, infinite, without parts, and perfect in all His attributes, including His aseity (Job 41:11), immutability (Ps 102:27; Heb 13:6), omnipresence (Ps 139:7-10), omnipotence (Ps 115:3), and omniscience (Ps 139:1-4). God eternally exists as three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Duet. 6:4; 2 Cor 13:14). Each person is distinct with personal attributes but without division of nature, essence, being, and glory. 

We believe that God, as Father, reigns with providential care over His universe, His creatures, and the redemptive plan of history, having decreed for his own glory all things that come to pass (Gen 1:1; Is 64:8). God is Father to those He has chosen from eternity past to call His own and, as a gift of grace, sent His Son to save them from sin and death (Jn 20:21). All who come to faith in Him through Christ are adopted as His children, co-heirs with Christ, and receive His fatherly love and discipline (Eph 1:5).

Person of Christ:

We believe that Jesus is the eternal Son of God (Jn 1:1). That all things were made through Him (Jn1:3) and for Him (Col 1:16). In His incarnation, He was born of the virgin Mary. We believe in the hypostatic union that Jesus was fully God (Col 1:15; Jn 8) and fully man (Jn 1:14) and that these natures are distinct and united, not blended. We believe in the impeccability of Jesus, that though He was tempted in His human nature, He was without sin (Heb 4:15).

Work of Christ:

Through Christ’s life, death, resurrection, and ascension, He made a way for sinners to be reconciled with God (2 Cor 5:19). Jesus lived the perfect life honoring the divine law in personal obedience (Heb 5:8-9). He satisfied the wrath of God (Rom 5:9) and made provision for the redemption of men from sin (Eph 1:7) through His penal substitutionary atonement (2 Cor 5:21). He was raised from the dead on the third day (1 Cor 15:4) with a glorified body as the first fruits of the resurrection (1 Cor 15:20). He appeared bodily to His disciples (1 Cor 15:5) and in their presence ascended into heaven (Lk 24:51). Christ is now exalted at the right hand of the Father (Eph 1:20) where He is our one mediator (1 Tim 2:5). He will return in power and glory to judge the world (Heb 9:27-28) and as a groom to receive His bride, the church (Rev 21:2). 

The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God, fully divine. He inspired holy men of  old to write the Scriptures (2 Tim 3:16). Through illumination He enables  men to understand truth (Jn14:26). He exalts Christ (Jn 16:14). He   convicts men of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment (Jn16:8). He calls  men to the Saviour, and effects regeneration (Titus 3:5). At the moment  of regeneration He baptizes every believer into the Body of Christ. He  cultivates Christian character (Eph 5:18), comforts believers (Jn 14:26),  and bestows the spiritual gifts by which they serve God through His  church (1 Cor 12). He seals the believer unto the day of final redemption  (Eph 4:30). His presence in the Christian guarantees that God will bring  the believer into the fullness of the stature of Christ (Eph 1:13-14). He  enlightens and empowers the believer and the church in worship,  evangelism, and service (Acts 1:8).

We believe that man was created male and female by God as the only created thing to bear His own image (Gen 1:26-27). Man was created without sin, brought into a world where he experienced perfect communion with God, and was given freedom of choice. Tempted by Satan, but in the sovereign plan of God, man disobeyed God by eating from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil (Gen 3). The original man, Adam, was the federal head for all mankind, so in his sin, all have sinned and are guilty before God (Rom 5:12-19; Ps 51:5). Due to this, all of mankind is born with a sinful nature with no natural disposition towards God and godliness (Rom 3:9-18). Alienated from God without defense and subject to God’s wrath, all of mankind is in desperate need of a savior. 

Salvation involves the redemption of the whole man and is offered freely to all who accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. This salvation is received by grace through faith and by no merit of our own (Eph 2:8-9). Jesus, by His blood, obtained this eternal redemption for the believer. Salvation includes regeneration, justification, sanctification, and glorification. Additionally, believers have eternal security in their salvation (Ro 8:37-39). 

We believe that regenerated believers of Jesus Christ make up the body of Christ, the one universal church, of which Jesus Christ is the head. Since it is impossible to see this full expression of the universal (invisible) church, the church gathers in local congregations as the visible representation of the believers in Christ Jesus. The scriptures command that the local church devote themselves to worship, prayer, the teaching of God’s Word, fellowship, the ordinances of Baptism and the Lord’s Supper, service to the local body with individual giftings, and outreach to the world to make disciples. Wherever God’s people meet regularly in obedience to these commands under the authority of a plurality of elders, there is an expression of the church. The ultimate aim of the church is to glorify God.  

We believe it is the aim, duty, and privilege of every believer and local church fellowship to glorify God by responding as active participants in the Great Commission call of Jesus Christ to go and make disciples of all nations (Matt 28:18-20; Acts 1:8). We believe the primary focus and priority of this call is centered on efforts that establish, strengthen, and reproduce biblically-based churches, which will then plant churches that plant churches for future generations and God’s glory. 

We believe that God, in His own time and in His own way, will bring the world to its appropriate end. This will include a glorious, visible, and bodily return of Christ. We believe in the bodily resurrection of both the saved and the lost, and Christ will judge all men in righteousness. The unrighteous will be consigned to Hell, the place of everlasting punishment. The children of God will dwell forever in the new heavens and the earth with God.

We believe God wonderfully and immutably creates each person as male or female. These two complementary and genetically distinct genders together reflect the image and nature of God (Genesis 1:26-27). Rejection of one’s biological sex is a sin because it is rejecting his/her God-given nature

We believe that the term “marriage” has only one meaning: the uniting of one man and one woman for life in a single, exclusive union, as delineated in Scripture (Genesis 2:18-25). We believe that God has commanded that sexual intimacy is to occur only between a man and a woman, whose sexual identity was determined at birth, and who are married to each other (1 Corinthians 6:18, 7:2-5; Hebrews 13:4).
