The Lord's Supper

We believe in the commemoration of the Lord's Supper by the symbolic use of bread and the juice of the vine. (1 Corinthians 11:28)

(1 John 5:7)

The Fall of Man

We believe that man was created in the image of God, but that by voluntary disobedience he fell from perfection. (Romans 5:12)

We believe that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us signing the pardon of all who believe on Him and confess Jesus Christ as their Lord. (John 3:16; Romans 5:8, 10:9-10)

Moderation & Balance

We believe that all truth must be balanced with other scriptural truth in order to avoid any extreme or fanaticism, and we believe that moderation should show forth in our daily walk as a believer. (Philippians 4:5)

Divine Healing

We believe that divine healing is the provision of Christ to heal the sick in response to the exercise of faith, the prayer of faith, the prayer of agreement, anointing with oil, the gifts of healing or the laying on of hands. We believe that this provision of Christ is for everyone today. (1 Peter 2:24; Matthew 8:17, 18:18-19; James 5:14-16; 1 Corinthians 2:9; Mark 16:15-18; Matthew 24:25; Mark 13:31; Luke 21:33)

We believe that soul-winning is the great commission given to the church. (James 5:20; Mark 16:15; 2 Corinthians 5:18-21)

The Second Coming

We believe that the second coming of Christ is literal and inevitable.

(1 Thessalonians 4:16-17)

Marriage

-Marriage is the first institution created by God. He declared that "a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh." (Genesis 2:23) -This shows that God's design for marriage is between one man and one woman. This divine design is confirmed throughout the Holy Scriptures. (Matthew 19:5-6; Mark 10:8; Ephesians 5:31 -Marriage is a covenant made between a man and a woman before God and this is the only marriage approved and acceptable to God and the church. (Genesis 2:23)

Church Membership

We believe it is our sacred duty to identify and actively participate with the local and visible Church of Christ. (Acts 16:5; Hebrews 10:5)

Civil Government

We believe that the laws of the land should be upheld at all times except in matters opposed to the Word of God. (Romans 13:1-5)

The Final Judgement

We believe that all shall stand one day before God in final judgement, and there receive eternal reward or eternal judgement. (2 Corinthians 5:10; Revelation 20:11-13)

Heaven

We believe that heaven is a literal place, eternally existent. (John 14:2; Revelation 7:15-17)

Hell

We believe that hell is a literal place of eternal torment for all who reject the Lord Jesus. (Revelation 20:10,15)
