THE CONSTITUTION

The Scriptures:

We believe that the bible is the verbally inspired Word of God and is inerrant in the original writings. The Bible being the revealed Word of God is the ground and foundation from which all claims of truth shall be substantiated. The Word of God is alive and quick! Through God's sovereign hand, the Scriptures have been preserved and are the supreme and final authority. (II Timothy 3:16-17; II Peter 1:20-21; Hebrews 4:12) 

 

God:

We believe that there is only one true and living God existing in three persons - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Each is a distinct Person, but all of one essence and all having the same nature, perfection and attributes, and each is worthy of precisely the same worship, confidence, and obedience. (Genesis 1:1-3, 26; Matthew 3:16,17; John 1:1,14, 10:30, 14:26, 5:26; Matthew 28:19) 

 

Jesus Christ:

We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in his virgin birth, and in his sinless life, in his miracles, in his vicarious and atoning death through his shed blood, in his bodily resurrection, in his ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in his personal return in power and glory. (Luke 1:26-33, 22:20, 24:46) 

 

Holy Spirit:

We believe that the Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity, God and co-existent with the Father and the Son. The Holy Spirit is the Chief Agent in the regeneration of the soul, the Chief Convictor of sin, and the Chief Comforter of the believer. Simultaneous with regeneration, the Holy Spirit baptizes the believer into the body of Christ, permanently indwells him and seals him in salvation for all eternity. The Holy Spirit is the giver of spiritual gifts to the believer. (John 16:1-13; Acts 5:3-4; Titus 3:5; Matthew 3:11; Ephesians 1:13-14; I Corinthians 12:1-11) 

 

Man:

We believe that man is the direct creation of God - body, soul and spirit. Therefore, man is not in any way a result of evolution, but, is made in God's image. The sin and fall of Adam resulted in the fall of creation and mankind both physically and spiritually. (Genesis 1:26-27; Romans 3:10, 5:12, 8:18-23) 

 

Salvation:

We believe that all who, in faith, receive the Lord Jesus Christ as Savior are born again by the Holy Spirit and thus become the children of God. Salvation involves redemption, regeneration, sanctification and glorification. (Ephesians 1:7; Romans 10:9-10, 5:7-11; colossians 1:13-14, 21-22; John 17:16-22; II Corinthians 5:17; I Corinthians 6:19) 

 

Eternal Security:

We believe that salvation is not only a gift from God but is sustained by Him as well. Salvation is wholly of the Lord, apart from the works of man. The Holy Spirit permanently indwells the believer and seals him in salvation for all eternity. Therefore, the believer shall be kept by the power of God through faith. (John 3:16, 10:27-29, 14:16-17, 26; Ephesians 1:13; 2:8-9) 

​

Marriage:

We believe God designed marriage as a unique conjugal relationship joining one man and one woman in a single, exclusive, life-long union. God intends sexual intimacy to only occur between a man a woman joined in marriage. We believe all forms of sexual immorality are dishonoring of God.

​

Abortion:

We believe in the biblical sanctity of human life. That God believes in the protection of all human life from conception to natural death. As Christians we must strive to uphold all human life no matter age, skin color, religion, or economic condition.

​

KINGDOM:

We believe that due to the shortness of time on this earth and length of eternity, we should be diligent in seeing that the good news of Jesus Christ should be freely shared in our community, region, and wherever God gives us opportunity. We believe God has called us as Christians to “share the good news” of the Bible and to promote preaching the gospel, training and encouraging spiritual leaders, and encouraging all believers to become involved with a church or group that believes, seeks, pursues, and teaches to understand The Gospel Of The Kingdom and how to stay in Righteousness (Right Standing) With THE KING!!!

​

We believe that all Christians should faithfully seek to obey Jesus Christ in caring for the least of these in our midst and around the world. This includes giving mercy to the orphan, widow, prisoner, hungry, and others in need. These works are not done as a means of salvation but out of obedience to Jesus for the glory of God the Father, OUR LORD AND KING!!!
