I believe in God,
the Father almighty,
Creator of heaven and earth.
I Believe in Jesus Christ, his only son, our Lord.
He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit
and born of the Virgin Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried.
He descended to the dead.
On the third day he rose again. He ascended into heaven,
and is seated at the right hand
of the Father.
He will come again to judge the living and the dead.
​
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting. Amen
What We Believe
*We have recently left a mainline denomination, and are in the process of developing a Biblical, Sound, Evangelical, Statement of Faith*
​
We continue to stand on the historical teachings of the Christian Church
as we confess and believe the Apostle's Creed​
*WHAT WE TEACH*
* We believe that God has revealed Himself to us in the Words of Holy Scripture. And that the 66 books of the Holy Bible are God’s inerrant word and that Holy Scripture is sufficient, clear, necessary and authoritative for all things pertaining to life and godliness.
​
* We believe in one God revealed in Holy Scripture as three distinct personhoods; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This God is rightly defined as the Trinity and it is acknowledged that “in their entirety, the three persons are coeternal and coequal with each other” and that “we must worship their Trinity in their unity and their unity in their Trinity”
​
*We believe that Jesus is the only begotten Son of God, who came into the world to save sinners That being fully God and fully man, He is to be worshiped and glorified as the promised Messiah. For Jesus is the Christ, the King of Israel who unites all nations under Him; who gave Himself a once for all sacrifice for the sins of the whole world, that all who believe in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. And He has an exclusive right to rule and reign in our Church and our lives. Therefore we seek to acknowledge Jesus as our personal Lord and Savior; not in that he is only Lord and Savior to us, but rather that each of us has personally come to accept the reality that He is Lord and Savior of the whole world.
​
*We believe in the real physical resurrection of Jesus Christ, and that He ascended to the right hand of God the Father until all His enemies shall be made His footstool, at which time he will come again to judge both the living and the dead. And there will be a physical resurrection of the dead; the saved in Christ unto a resurrection of eternal life and those dead in sin unto a resurrection of eternal damnation.
​
*We believe that salvation is a work of Grace accomplished through the Life, Death, and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. And that there is nothing that sinful man can do to merit His own acceptance by an almighty and Holy God, but He has covered all the sins of His beloved by the precious blood of Jesus Christ. Therefore, Salvation is by Grace through Faith alone, not by ‘works that none may boast. And that the only call upon the sinner is “Repent and Believe” for it is written ‘ if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.’ (Rom 10:9)
​
*We believe that God created the heavens and the earth and everything in it. That in the original estate of creation that was made good, they were designed perfectly and everything worked together in perfect harmony. And that God has created men and women equal in their essential dignity and human personhood, but different and complementary in function so that they would be fruitful and multiply, fill the earth and subdue it. This means mankind was created to have dominion over this creation and to cultivate it and care for it and to produce more image bearers to continue the work of God’s good design. This also means that God established marriage as a creation ordinance to be a lifelong covenant between one man and one woman in order to model Christ and His Bride, the Church. And we believe that Adam and Eve fell into the temptation of that ancient serpent and partook of the one fruit which was forbidden to them, and in so doing sin entered the world through one man, Adam, only be to be removed from the world by one man, Jesus the Christ.
​
*We believe that God established the Church, the bride of Christ, to function as His body upon this earth. That the Church is properly made up of local(regional) bodies which are under the authority of Christ Jesus. We believe that the Scriptures are ultimately the only good and right source of understanding to govern the affairs and disciplines of the Church. And we believe that Scripture suggests that each local(regional) church has complete autonomy to seek the well-being of its practice and purity through the Holy Spirit working in the whole membership; and that we, therefore, Covenant together to fulfill the duties of the Church as defined by Holy Scripture and the encourage one another to Christian faithfulness.
