BELIEFS
Section 2 of our Church Constitution lists the following doctrines:
The Trinity of the Godhead.
The Deity and full humanity of the Lord Jesus Christ.
The Deity and true personality of the Holy Spirit.
The sinfulness of humanity and their responsibility for their revolt against God’s law.
God’s prior electing grace for faith and salvation, and human responsibility for their response to the Divine requirements of repentance and faith.
Christ’s atonement for His Church.
Conversion is that work of the Holy Spirit by which He enables those who are dead in their trespasses and sins to repent, believe and live.
The visible bodily return of the Lord Jesus Christ in power and great glory.
The resurrection of the dead – the just to eternal life and the unrighteous to eternal punishment.
The Holy Scriptures are inspired by the Holy Spirit and are the final authority for faith and living.
The church as the body of regenerate believers in the Lord Jesus Christ.
The priesthood of all believers.
The baptism of believers only by immersion.
The ordinance of the Lord’s Supper as instituted by Christ Himself.
