The Bible* We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only authoritative Word of God, and only practical guide for daily living. 2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:19-21 God* We believe that there is only one God, eternally existent in 3 persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Matthew 28:19; John 10:30; 1 Corinthians 8:6; 2 Corinthians 13:14 Diety of Christ* We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ who came in the flesh, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His imminent personal return in power and glory. His is the only advocate and intermediary between God and man. Matthew 1:18-25; John 20:30-31; Acts 1:8-11; 1 Corinthians 15:1-8; Hebrews 2:17-18; 7:25; 1 John 2:1-2 Salvation* Man cannot do anything to merit salvation from God. Without repentance of sins, man is lost and separated from God; salvation is only by the grace of God through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. John 1:12; 3:16; 5:24; 20:31; Ephesians 2:1, 4-5, 8-9 1 John 5:11-12 Holy Spirit* We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the repentant sinner becomes a new creation and is empowered to live a godly life. John 14:16-17,26; Galatians 5:16, 22-25; Ephesians 1:13-14 Resurrection* We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation. 1 Corinthians 15; Revelation 20:11-15 Body of Christ* All true believers are placed in the Body of Christ, His Church. 1 Corinthians 12:13; Ephesians 2:11-22 Marriage* We believe that “marriage” has one meaning and that is, human marriage is sanctioned by God to join one man and one woman in a single exclusive union, as defined in Scripture and gender is assigned by God in utero. We believe that marriage is a human object lesson of divine relationships and is dissolved by death of one of the partners. However, divorce is permitted because of fornication or adultery or because the unbelieving partner forsakes the believing partner and institutes the divorce. Genesis 2:18-25, Ephesians 5:21-23, Hebrews 13:4, Romans 7:2-3; 1 Cor 7:39, Matthew 5:32, 19:3-9, 1 Corinthians 7:10-2 General InformationPlease complete and submit this application.Pastor's Name*
