| We Believe...
- Jesus to be the Head of the Church.
- The
Bible to be the Holy Spirit-inspired Word of God, His revelation of
Himself and His will for man. It is the Christian's guidebook to a
purposeful life, a road map to heaven and the only standard by which
right and wrong is to be judged.
- In unity on matters of faith, liberty in freedom of opinion and in all things, love.
- We are not the only body of Christians; rather, we are “Christians” only.
- In speaking where the Bible speaks and being silent as a church voice where the Bible is silent.
- The Bible to be the only church manual, creed, or order of dogma.
- One
is saved by having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ (John
14:6, Acts 4:12). One obtains that relationship by earnestly seeking
Him as God's Word directs:
- One
retains a personal relationship with Jesus Christ by remaining faithful
to God’s Word (2 Tim 2:12; Rev 2:10; Heb 3:6;14).
- It is the privilege / responsibility of all Christians to take the "Good News" to others.
- The
local congregation to be autonomous - self-existing, with no superior
officer or body to oversee them collectively. We acknowledge only the
leadership of Jesus Christ beyond the local leadership of the Elders;
we believe the minister is to be the spiritual leader, administrator
and director of church services.
- The main purpose of the believer and the church existing is to bring glory, honor and praise to the
Heavenly Father, the Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit in and through each endeavor undertaken.
