Basic Theology
• We believe In one sovereign God, eternally existing in three persons; God the Father, the Creator; Jesus Christ, the Son; and The Holy Spirit that gives new life to everyone who believes in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. In the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ; His virgin birth, His righteous life, and His vicarious and atoning death on the cross for our sins of humanity. In the Bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ and His ascension to the right hand of the Father; there for us as Lord of all, High Priest and Advocate.
Becoming a Christian
• We believe that man was created in the image of God, but that by voluntary disobedience he fell from perfection. we were sinners and Christ died for us, signing the pardon of all who believe in Him .We have no righteousness and must come to God pleading the righteousness of Christ and upon sincere repentance, and a whole-hearted acceptance of Christ, we are justified before God. The change which takes place in the heart and life at conversion is a very real one (2 Corinthians 5:17; Galatians 2:20).
Doctrine
• We believe that baptism by immersion is an outward sign of an inward work and that in the commemoration of the Lord’s Supper by the symbolic use of the bread and juice of the vine. That salvation is for all, and regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential.
The Bible
• We believe In the Holy Scriptures; the Hebrew Old Testament and the Greek New Testament were inspired by the Spirit of God as fully trustworthy and final authority in matters of faith and practice. We believe in the right of individual interpretation of Scripture under the leadership of the Holy Spirit and capability of the individual in direct approach to God.
The Church
• We believe in one Holy Universal Church; Body of Believing Disciples, "The Body of Christ," composed of worshipping communities of Jesus Christ with a mission to proclaim the Gospel in word, in deed, and care for all God's creation.
Daily Living
• We believe that it is the will of God that we be sanctified
daily, growing constantly in the faith and that the experience and daily walk of the believer should never lead him into extremes of fanaticism. It is the will of God that we walk in the Spirit daily
• We believe that rulers should be upheld at all times except in things opposed to the will of God (Romans13:1-5).
The Future
• We believe in the blessed hope that Jesus Christ will return in God's time, personally, visible, in power and glory to gather His righteous children and judge the unrighteous persons and nations to bring His Kingdom to fulfillment.
