Christian Church

through His death and justification through His resurrection. Matthew 1:18-2; John 3:16; Romans 4:23-25

We believe that the Holy Spirit is sent by God the Father to make every person aware of the need for a relationship with Jesus and lives in every Christian from the moment of salvation. He provides Christians with power for living, comfort, understanding of spiritual truth, and guidance in doing the will of God. He also gives spiritual gifts to every believer and we seek to live under His direction daily. Romans 8:11; John 14:26; 1 Corinthians 12:3-11

We believe that the Holy Bible is the supreme and final authority in all matters of faith and life. The original manuscripts which comprise the Old and New Testaments, were inspired by God and are inerrant in content and infallible in the truth contained therein.   The Scriptures were written by human authors under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. 2 Timothy 3:16; Thessalonians 2:13; Psalm 119:9, 11

We believe that man was created by God as a perfect eternal being in God�s own image. Man chose to be disobedient to God, which marred his perfection, bringing upon himself the judgment of spiritual and physical death. Sin (disobedience to God) eternally separates man from God.   Genesis 1:26, 31;   Romans 3:23; Ephesians 2:1

We believe that salvation is a free and undeserved gift from God. Jesus paid for our sins through His death on the cross. We receive God�s promise of eternal life in His Kingdom only by our acceptance of Jesus as our Lord and Savior as evidenced by our ongoing submission to His will.    1 Peter 1:18-21; Acts 4:12; John 3:16

We believe that water baptism was taught and demonstrated by Jesus as an example for us to follow. Upon our personal commitment to Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, we are required to repent of our sins and submit to Him in total obedience by immersion for the forgiveness of our sins, as a testimony of our repentance, and to receive the promised gift of the Holy Spirit.    Matthew 28:19; Acts 2:38; Matthew 3:13-15

We believe that Heaven is the supernatural realm where God resides and reigns over all of creation. Heaven is His eternal kingdom where all who have accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior will enter. 2 Peter 1:10, 11; Isaiah 6:1-8; Hebrews 12: 22, 23

We believe that Hell is the real and everlasting place of separation from God as indicated in scripture. It was created for Satan and his fallen angels as a place of everlasting torment. Those who refuse to accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior will spend eternity there. Matthew 25:41; Matthew 8:12; 2 Thessalonians 1: 8, 9

We believe that Communion (the celebration of the Lord�s Supper) was established by Jesus to remind His followers of His sinless life, sacrificial death, burial, resurrection, ascension, and promised return. Communion is an integral part of our weekly worship and is open to all baptized believers.   Luke 22:14-20; John 6:26-58; 1 Corinthians 11:27-34

We believe that marriage is a holy institution created by God and intended as a permanent and intimate bond between a man and a woman, as God created them, to become one. Matthew 19:4-6; Romans 7:2,3; Eph. 5:21-33
