Declaration of Faith

This We Believe

1. In the verbal inspiration of the Bible.
2. In one God eternally existing in three persons; namely, the Father, Son and Holy Ghost
3. That Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of the Father, conceived of the Holy Ghost, and born of the Virgin Mary. That Jesus was crucified, buried, and raised from the dead.  That He ascended to heaven and is today at the right hand of the Father as the Intercessor.
4. That all have sinned and come short of the glory of God and that repentance is commanded of God for all and necessary for forgiveness of sins.
5. That justification, regeneration, and the new birth are wrought by faith in the blood of Jesus Christ.
6. In sanctification subsequent to the new birth, through faith in the blood of Christ; through the Word, and by the Holy Ghost.
7. Holiness to be God’s standard of living for His people.
8. In the baptism with the Holy Ghost subsequent to a clean heart.
9. In speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance and that it is the initial evidence of the baptism of the Holy Ghost.
10. In water baptism by immersion, and all who repent should be baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
11. Divine Healing is provided for all in the atonement.
12. In the Lord’s Supper and washing of the saint’s feet.
13. In the premillennial second coming of Jesus. First, to resurrect the righteous dead and to catch away the living saints to Him in the air. Second, to reign on the earth a thousand years.
14. In the bodily resurrection; eternal life for the righteous, and eternal punishment for the wicked.

Baptism

In Mark 16:16 Jesus said “he who believes and is baptized will be saved.” We believe that the act of baptism represents having been “buried with Him in baptism, in which you also were raised with Him through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead.” Colossians 2:12
We hold baptism at various times during the year as the need arises. You can contact the church office or watch the bulletin as to when the next scheduled baptism will take place.
“And now why are you waiting? Arise and be baptized and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord.” Acts 22:16 NKJ

Baby Dedication

Baby dedication is an act of commitment on the part of the parents to rear their children in the nurture and admonition of the Spirit, in a Christian home.
Baby dedication is held on the 5th Sunday of any month where there is such, during the 10:30 a.m. service in the Worship Center. Call the church office to register your child for Baby Dedication.
