What We Believe

The Scriptures

We believe that the Bible is the inspired and inerrant word of God.  The great theme of the Bible is the person and work of Jesus Christ (2 Timothy 3:15 – 16, 1 Peter 1:10 – 11).  

God

There is one true, living God.  God is three persons – the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.  God has revealed Himself supremely through His Son – the Lord Jesus Christ. (Isaiah 45:22, Hebrews 1:1-2, Matthew 28:19).

Man

God created mankind in His own image, both male and female.  When Adam and Eve disobeyed God in the Garden of Eden, sin and death entered into the world.  Since that day all of humanity has lived in rebellion against God (Genesis 1:27, Genesis 6:5, Romans 5:12)

Christ

The Lord Jesus Christ is the Son of God.  He is truly God and truly man. He is the promised Messiah, the goal of all history, and the only way for sinners to be reconciled to God (Matthew 1:1, Romans 1:3 – 4, 1 Timothy 2:5)

Salvation

There is only one way of salvation.  We cannot save ourselves by our own good works.  God commands us to repent and believe the gospel. Salvation is a miracle of God.  Those who have been saved have been born of God. They have a renewed mind, a new heart, and they aim to please God in every part of their lives.  (John 14:6, Acts 4:12, Mark 1:15, 1 John 3:9, 2 Corinthians 5:17).

Our church life

As a church we are devoted to:

Worshiping God – Worshiping God is our highest privilege and greatest responsibility.  In all that we do, we desire to glorify our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ.  

The Scriptures – We desire to know, believe, and obey the word of God.  Our meetings are centered around teaching and preaching the Scriptures.

Prayer – God has said, “My house shall be called a house of prayer” (Isaiah 56:7).  Fervent, persistent, believing prayer is the greatest means for advancing the kingdom of God.  We have a weekly prayer meeting.

Living holy lives – Genuine salvation is always characterized by genuine love for God and other believers (John 13:35, 15:8).  We are committed to pursuing holiness, without which no one will see the Lord (Hebrews 12:14).

Fellowship – We desire to meet together as often as possible, so that we may encourage each other to love God and serve Him more faithfully (Hebrews 10:24-25).

The Great Commission – We desire for God to be glorified through the salvation of the lost.  We are committed to preaching the gospel both at home and abroad. We support foreign missions financially and by prayer.
