What We Believe 

• We believe in the one      and only triune God. We acknowledge there is one true God consisting of      three distinct persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy      Spirit. (1John 5:5-8; John 1:1; Matt. 28:19-20 NKJV) 
• We believe that the      Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, was conceived of the Holy      Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, crucified, died, was buried, and was      resurrected. He ascended into Heaven and is now seated at the right hand      of God the Father and is true God and true man. (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John      NKJV) 
• We believe that the      Bible in its entirety is composed of the Old and New Testaments; is the      Word of God, fully inspired and written under the inspiration of the Holy      Spirit, and is our rule of faith and practice. (2Tim.3:16-17 NKJV)
• We believe that all      are born sinners; the Holy Spirit convicts of sin; the Lord Jesus Christ      paid the price for sin by shedding His precious blood on the cross as the      atonement for sin; those who refuse to accept His sacrifice for their sin      are eternally lost; and those who repent of their sin and personally      accept the Lord Jesus Christ as Savior receive the forgiveness of sin and      life everlasting and are indwelt by the Holy Spirit. (Acts 3:19-21; Rom.      10:9-13; 1Cor 6:9-11 NKJV) 
• We believe in the      baptism of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues as the      Spirit of God gives utterance, that all the gifts of the Holy Spirit are      valid and operative today, and that the fruit of the Holy Spirit should be      increasingly evident in a Christian’s life. (1Cor.12:7-11; Mark 16:17,      Acts 2:4; Gal. 5:22-23; Eph. 5:8-10 NKJV)
• We believe that the      redemptive work of the Lord Jesus Christ provides healing for our spirit,      soul, and body. (Jer. 17:14; Jer. 33:6; Is. 53:5; Matt. 10:8 NKJV)
• We believe that we      should obey Jesus’ command to preach the gospel to all the world. (Matt.      12:14; Matt. 28:19-20; Ps. 96:3; Rev. 14:6-7 NKJV)
• We believe that the      members of the Body of Christ are the Church and that they should      regularly fellowship with one another in a local church setting. (Acts      2:41-42; Heb. 10:24-25; Matt. 18-20; Col. 3:16 NKJV)
• We believe in baptism      by water. (Mark 1:8-9; Matt. 3:6;11,16 NKJV)
• We believe      in and look for the personal return of the Lord Jesus Christ. (1Thes.      4:16-17; Heb. 9:28; Rev. 1:7; Matt. 24:36, 44; John 14: 1-3; Acts 1:11      NKJV)
• We believe in God’s      immutable creation of men and women to reflect His image. (Gen 1:27 NKJV)
• We believe each      person’s body is the temple of the Holy Spirit and that we are to glorify      God in our bodies. (Rom. 12:1; 1 Cor. 6:18-20 NKJV). 
• We believe we are to      walk in the Spirit and to flee sexual immorality. (Gal. 5:16; 1 Cor.      6:9-10; Gal 5; 19-21; Rev. 21:8 NKJV) 
• We believe that the      Bible defines marriage as the uniting of one man and one woman in a      single, exclusive union (Gen. 2:18-25 NKJV). 
• We believe that God      intends sexual intimacy to occur only between a man and a woman within the      confines of marriage (1 Cor. 7:2-5; Heb. 13:4; Mark 10:6-9 NKJV)
• We believe that God’s      design for sexual intimacy in the context of marriage between one man and      one woman does not allow for the practice of homosexuality, both male and      female, and that the practice of homosexuality is incompatible with      Biblical teaching. (1 Cor. 6:9-10; Rom. 1:24-27; Eph. 5:31-32; 1Cor; 7:2;      Mark 10; 6-9; Heb. 13:4 NKJV)
• We believe that      marriage is not a human institution, but is a specific divine metaphor      that illustrates the union of Christ and the church. Only a union between      a man and a woman can properly illustrate the relationship between Christ      and His church. (Eph. 5:22-32 NKJV)
• We believe in and      provide an atmosphere of love and restoration that creates a setting and a      place of safety for those who struggle with gender issues, whereby they      can live according to stated Biblical teachings and not according to the      dictates of their own beliefs. (1 Peter 1:22 NKJV. “Since you have      purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit in sincere      love of the brethren, love one another fervently with a pure heart.”)
