WHAT WE BELIEVE
The Bible
We believe the Holy Bible to be the inspired and only infallible, authoritative Word of God
2 Timothy 3:16,17
​
​
One God
We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
Isaiah 44:8, 2 Corinthians 13:14
The Father whose glory is so exceedingly bright that mortal man cannot look upon His face and live, but whose heart was so filled with love and pity for His lost and sin-benighted children that He freely gave His only begotten Son to redeem and reconcile them to Himself
Exodus 33:20, John 3:16
The Son co-existent and co-eternal with the Father, who, conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary took upon Himself the form of man, bore our sins, carried our sorrows, and by the shedding of His precious blood upon the cross of Calvary, purchased redemption for all that would believe upon Him: then, bursting the bonds of death and hell rose from the grave and ascended on high leading captivity captive, that as the great mediator between God and man, He might stand at the right hand of the Father making intercession for those whom He laid down His life
John 1:1-3, Job 38:4-7, Matthew 1:23, Ephesians 2:18
The Holy Spirit the third person of the Godhead, the Spirit of the Father shed abroad, omnipotent, omnipresent, performing an inexpressibly important mission upon the earth, convicting of sin, of righteousness, and of judgement, drawing sinners to the Savior, rebuking, pleading, searching, comforting, quickening, teaching, glorifying, baptizing, and empowering from on high those who yield to His tender ministrations, preparing them for the great day of the Lord's appearing
1 John 5:7, John 15:26, 2 Corinthians 13:14, Matthew 28:19, Romans 8:11, John 16:7-14
​
