We believe
Articles of Faith
1. We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God. (II Timothy 3:16)
2. We believe in one God revealing Himself as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
(Matthew 28:19 and 1 John 5:7)
3. We believe that all have sinned and are lost. (Romans 3:23 + 3:10)
4. We believe that Jesus Christ is the only Savior. (Acts 4:12).
5. We believe in salvation by grace through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ whose blood cleanses from all sin. (Ephesians 2:8, 9 + Colossians 1:14, 20)
6. We believe in the ordinances of Baptism and the Lord's Supper, both of which are for believers. (Matthew 28:19 + 1 Corinthians 15:51-58)
7. We believe in the pre-millenial, personal, imminent second coming of Christ. (1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 + 1 Corinthians 15:51-58).
8. We believe in the resurrection of the saved to eternal blessedness, and of the lost to eternal, conscious suffering. (John 5:28,29 and Revelation)
9. We believe in the Missionary Church witnessing for Christ orally and actively both at home and to the ends of the Earth. (Mark 16:15 and Acts 1:8)
10. We believe that human life begins at conception and that the unborn child is a living human being. Abortion constitutes the unjustified, unexcused taking of unborn human life. Abortion is murder. We reject any teaching that abortions due to rape, incest, birth defects, gender selection, birth or population control, or the physical or mental well-being of the mother are acceptable. (Job 3:16, Psalm 51:5, 139:14-16, Isaiah 44:24, 49:1, 5; Jeremiah 1:5, 20:15-18, Luke 1:44)
11. We believe that God has commanded that no intimate sexual activity be engaged in outside of a marriage between one man and one woman. We believe that any form of homosexuality, lesbianism, bisexuality, bestiality, incest, fornication, adultery, and pornography are sinful perversions of God's biblical plan for men and women. We believe that God disapproves of and forbids any attempt to alter one's gender by surgery or appearance. We believe that the only Scriptural marriage is the joining of one man and one woman. (Gen. 2:24, 19:5, 13; 26:8-9; Lev. 18:1-30; Romans 1:26-29; 7:2; 1 Cor. 5:1; 6:9; 7:10; Eph. 5:22-23; 1 Thess. 4:1-8; Heb. 13:4)
12. We believe that the direct taking of an innocent human life is a moral evil, regardless of the intention. Life is a gift of God and must be respected from conception until natural death. Thus we believe that an act or omission, which, of itself or by intention, causes death in order to eliminate suffering, constitutes a murder contrary to the will of God. Discontinuing medical procedures that are extraordinary or disproportionate to the expected outcome can be a legitimate refusal of over-zealous treatment. (Exodus 20:13, 23:7, Mat.. 5:21, Acts 17:28)
