What We Know to be True.

  1. GOD - There is one, and only one, living and true God, the maker and supreme ruler of heaven and earth. This one God is existant in three persons, God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. Each equal in power but seperate in position, these three make up the Godhead. Exodus 15:11; Psalms 83:18; 90:2


  2. BIBLE - The Bible is the inspired preserved Word and words of God. It is complete and infallible and inerrant in the English language of the Authorized Version of 1611 also called the KJB (King Jesus Bible.) II Timothy 3:16; II Peter 1:19-21; Acts 1:16; Hebrews 4:12


  3. MAN - We believe that man was created in the image and likeness of God, but that in Adam’s sin the human race fell, inherited a sinful nature, and became alienated from God; and, that all men are sinners by birth and by choice, and, of themselves, utterly unable to remedy their lost condition. Hence in need of a Saviour. Genesis 1:26-27; Romans 3:22,23; 5:12; 6:23; Ephesians 2:1-3; 4:17-19


  4. SAVIOUR - Jesus Christ came to save men from the penalty of sin - death! He came as the Lamb of God to give himself as a sacrifice to pay our debt. He was born of a virgin, God incarnate, and died on a cross to take away the sins of the world through faith in His shed blood. Isaiah 7:14 & 53; Matthew 1:18-25; Romans 3:25; Galatians 4:4,5


  5. SALVATION - The salvation of sinners is wholly of grace, through the working of the Holy Spirit and the sacrifice of Christ on the cross. There is no other way to satisfy the law of God, which all men have broken. Ephesians 2:8, 9; Romans 3:24, 25; 10:9, 10; John 3:16; 10:18


  6. REPENTANCE AND FAITH - Repentance and Faith are inseparable graces wrought in a soul by God the Holy Spirit; whereby, being deeply convicted of our guilt, danger and helplessness, and of the way of salvation in Christ, we turn to God with a poor and contrite spirit, confessing our condition and looking for mercy. At that time we receive the Lord Jesus Christ as our Saviour, openly confessing Him as our only means of salvation. All of this is the work of God and it is marvelous in our eyes. Psalms 34:18 & 51:1-4,16,17; Isaiah 66:2; Acts 2:37,38 & 20:21; Mark 1:15; Luke 12:8 & 18:13; Romans 10:9-13; Psa 51:7; Isaiah 55:6,7.


  7. CHURCH - The church is the body of Christ on this earth to fullfil the desires of the Lord here and now, He would have that none would perish. The church will be the bride of Christ at His return to fullfil the desires of the Lord for eternity. Revelation 21:9 & 22:17


  8. RESURRECTION - In Christ we know and have this hope: that the redeemed of the Lord shall be resurrected to eternal glory in the presence of God, to ever be with Him. The souls of the lost shall be resurrected unto eternal damnation, punishment and seperation from God. Matthew 22:31,32; John 5:28,29 & 11:24; Acts 17:32 & 23:6; Romans 6:5 & 13:2; I Corinthians 15:12-22; II Timothy 2:18; Revelation 20:5,6


  9. BAPTISM - Water baptism, by immersion, is the first of two ordinances of the New Testament Church. It is administered only for those who have made a profession of faith and is a picture of the new believer's union to Christ in His death burial and resurrection. It is a pre-requisite to the privileges of a church membership and to the Lord’s supper. Matthew 3:13-15; Acts 8:36-38; I Cor 1:14-18


  10. THE LORD'S SUPPER - The second ordinance of the Church, is administered only to belivers that have made a public profession of the new birth, by baptism. In keeping the Lord's table we show His death till He comes and we remember what he has done for us in presenting his body as our sacrifice for remission of sins. Luke 22:19,20; Hebrews 2:9; I Corinthians 10:21 & 11:23-28


  11. SECOND COMING - Christ Jesus will return one day for His redeemed and we shall meet Him in the air. His return will be bodily, to set up His 1000 year reign on this earth. I Corinthians 15:51-53; I Thessalonians 4:16-18; Revelation 20:4-7


  12. SATAN - Once the covering cherubim he fell and drew after him a host of angels. He is now the prince of the power of the air, and the unholy god of this world. Isaiah 14:12-15; I Peter 5:8; I John 3:8


  13. SEPARATION - Christians (followers of Christ) are a "peculiar people" who should be "zealous of good works" and endeavor to maintain a good testimony for our Saviour before the world. Christians should pray always to keep themselves "unspotted from the world." Romans 12:1,2; 2 Corinthians 6:17; Titus 2:14; James 1:27


  14. BAPTISM - Water baptism, by immersion, is one ordinance of the New Testament church. It is administered only for those who have made a profession of faith and is a picture of the new believer's union to Christ in His death burial and resurrection. Matthew 3:13-15; Acts 8:36-38; I Corinthians 1:14-18


  15. CREATION - The Genesis account of creation is to be accepted literally as six 24-hour days and not allegorically. In Genesis chapter 1 we can find the cration of all things. "All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made." Genesis 1:1-31; Exodus 20:11; Acts 4:24; Colossians 1:16-17; John 1:1-3; Romans 1:20
