Salvation is the free gift of God through Jesus
Christ, conditioned only upon repentance toward God and
faith in and commitment to Christ the Lord.
The Church is a fellowship of baptized believers,
voluntarily banded together for worship, nurture and
service. Membership in a church is a privilege extended
only to the regenerated who voluntarily accept baptism
and commit themselves to faithful discipleship in the
body of Christ.
Missions
is the extension of the gospel to all the world through
evangelism, discipleship, education and Christian
service.
Stewardship requires the responsible use of life,
time, talents, treasures and testimony in the service of
Christ.
Evangelism
is the proclamation of the Gospel of Christ, the call to
accept and follow Him as Lord, and is the lifeblood of
the church.
Baptism
and the Lord’s Supper are the only ordinances of
the Church and are symbolic of redemption.
The
Priesthood of the Believer affirms that each
Christian has direct access to God through Christ, is
his own priest, and is also under obligation to become a
priest for Christ in behalf of other persons.
The pastor has the same standing before God as any
other member, but is God’s representative and spiritual
authority as overseer to the assembly. He is responsible
to God for his conduct, not to the deacons, or any
committee or fraction of the church.
The
Second Coming refers to the personal return of
Christ to this earth, at which time the dead in Christ
shall be resurrected, and we, which are alive (in
Christ) and remain, shall be caught up together, to meet
the Lord in the air.
Every
man is created in the image of God and is a free
moral agent. Because of man’s decision to sin, he is
lost and in need of salvation that comes only by the way
of the Cross of Christ.
