Who We Are
Love God! Love people! That's the plan!
For those of you who may wonder what we believe in when it comes to the Lord: I believe in and acknowledge the following definitions and scripture to be the inerrant, infallible, inspired Word of God.
ONE GOD, Holy, infinite, eternal and unchangeable. Subsisting in an eternal Trinity consisting of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Genesis 1:1; John 5:7; Revelation 22:13
ONE WORD, the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments, given by the plenary and verbal inspiration of God; and the only infallible rule of faith, doctrine and practice. II Timothy 3:16-17; II Peter 1:16-21
ONE CONDEMNATION, there being no difference as all have sinned and are born in sin. Ezekiel 18:4; John 3:36; Romans 3:10-26
ONE SAVIOR, the Lord Jesus Christ, God manifest in the flesh. We firmly attest to His essential deity and virgin birth, His sinless life, His vicarious death, His physical and bodily resurrection from the grave, and His ascension into heaven from where He will return personally to set up an earthly kingdom. Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:23; John 1:1-14, 14:9; Acts 1:11, 3:12-26; I Corinthians 15:12-28; I Thessalonians 4:13-18; Titus 2:11-14; Hebrews 9:24; I John 3:5; Revelation 19:19-20
ONE ATONEMENT FOR SIN, made only by Jesus Christ in a substitutionary and sacrificial death on the cross, sufficient for all, available to all, and offered to all. We believe that all must be born again or be forever lost and separated from God. Mark 10:45; Romans 5:10; II Corinthians 5:18-21; Hebrews 2:9; I Peter 2:24
ONE SPIRIT, the Holy Ghost, through whose sovereign agency in regeneration, the soul, dead in sin, is made alive in Christ; and through whose sovereign agency in sanctification, the soul is changed more and more into the divine image from glory to glory. John 16:7-15; I Corinthians 3:16; II Corinthians 3:18
ONE LIFE, which is hid with Christ in God, the eternal life; begun when a sinner believes and receives Him, and continues thereafter by the effectual and sovereign grace of God. John 1:12; Romans 10:9-10; Ephesians 1:13; Philippians 1:6
ONE CHURCH, which is Christ's body, all the members of which God has from the beginning chosen to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the Truth. Additionally, admission is according to the "free will" of man and the grace of God through Jesus Christ. I Corinthians 12:12-14; Ephesians 1:12-14
TWO DESTINIES, heaven and the Lake of Fire. Heaven is a place of eternal life with Christ. The Lake of Fire is a place of eternal death and separation from God. John 3:16-36; Hebrews 9:27; Revelation 20:1-15
ONE SATAN, who is both tempter and accuser, who exists in personality and reality.Matthew 4:2-11; John 8:44; Ephesians 6:12; I Peter 5:8; Revelation 12:9-10
ONE COMMISSION, the great evangelistic and missionary mandate given by Jesus Christ to the disciples and the continuing church: that the individual should go if led of God and send others if not; that each person in each generation would hear the gospel. Matthew 28:16-20; Acts 1:8; Romans 10:14-15
ONE HOPE, described as "the blessed hope", which is the personal return of our Lord and Savior. Matthew 24:44; Acts 1:11
