About Us

---

We teach that the Bible is God's written revelation of Himself and His purposes to all people, and that the 66 books of the Bible given to us by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit constitute the Word of God (1 Corinthians 2:7-14; 2 Peter 1:20-21).

We teach that there is but one living and true God (Deuteronomy 6:4; Isaiah 45:5-7; 1 Corinthians 8:4), an infinite, all-knowing Spirit (John 4:24), perfect in all His attributes, one in essence, eternally existing in three Persons - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14) - each equally deserving worship and obedience.

We teach the humanity was directly and immediately created by God in His image and likeness.  People were created free of sin with a rational nature, intelligence, volition, self-determination, and moral responsibility to God (Genesis 2:7, 15-25; James 3:9).  We teach that, because all of us were in Adam, a nature corrupted by Adam's sin has been transmitted to all people of all ages, Jesus Christ being the only exception.  All people are thus sinners by nature and by choice (Psalm 14:1-3; Jeremiah 17:19; Romans 3:9-18, 23; 5:10-12).

We teach that salvation is wholly of God by grace on the basis of the redemption of Jesus Christ, the merit of His shed blood, and not on the basis of human merit or works (John 1:12, Ephesians 1:17; 2:8-10; 1 Peter 1:18-19).  It is appropriated to a person by their faith in Christ.

We teach that all who place their faith in Jesus Christ are immediately placed by the Holy Spirit into one united spiritual Body, the church (1 Corinthians 12:12-13), the bride of Christ (2 Corinthians 11:2; Ephesians 5:23-32; Revelations 19:7-8), of which Christ is the Head (Ephesians 1:22; 4:14; Colossians 1:18).
