Statement
of Our Basic Beliefs
This church
subscribes to the doctrinal statement of The
Baptist Faith and Message as adopted by the Southern Baptist
Convention.
We believe that Jesus Christ was the son of God, is God, was born
of a virgin, was crucified as punishment for the sins of mankind
severally, was resurrected on the third day, ascended into heaven,
and is coming back soon to rule and reign for evermore.
We believe that the only way to eternal salvation is through personal
belief that the blood of Jesus is all-sufficient for the penalty
of sin and an acceptance of him into your life as Lord and Saviour.
We believe in salvation by grace alone, and that salvation is
immediate and eternal upon acceptance of Jesus as a one-time sacrifice
for your sins, and not obtained through any works, sacraments,
traditions or merits of our own.
We believe in the Trinity: That God The Father, God The Son, and
God The Holy Spirit are three Persons present in one God.
We believe the Holy Bible was written by men divinely inspired
and is God's revelation of Himself to man. It is a perfect treasure
of divine instruction. It has God for its author, salvation for
its end, and truth, without any mixture of error, for its matter.
Therefore, all Scripture is totally true and trustworthy.
We believe
there is one and only one living and true God. He is an intelligent,
spiritual, and personal Being, the Creator, Redeemer, Preserver,
and Ruler of the universe.
Our church
voluntarily bands ourselves together as a body of baptized believers
of like faith in Jesus Christ, personally committed to sharing
the good news of salvation to lost mankind. The ordinances of
the church are believer’s baptism and the Lord’s Supper.
