Fundamental Doctrine

We desire for the door to the church to be as wide as the gates of Heaven. The following doctrines constitutes the essence of the Christian faith. These doctrines detail the dividing line between orthodoxy and serious error.


1. We believe the Bible as contained in the sixty-six books of the Old and New Testaments in the inspired, inerrant, and infallible Word of God, the only rule of faith and obedience.


2. There is one and only one God. This God has revealed Himself to us in the Scriptures as a personal being existing eternally in three persons (the divine Trinity): God the Father, God the Son (Jesus Christ), and God the only Spirit.


3. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, begotten of the Father before all worlds, very God of very God, willingly humbled himself in love for mankind, atoning death on the cross. Three days later he rose bodily from the dead. He ascended into heaven and now intercedes for His brethren on the right hand of His Father. He will one day return bodily to the earth to rule His Kingdom.


4. We believe a person is saved, or justified, by an act of God’s free grace and not on any merit of his own. God pardons his sins and accepts him as righteous in His sight, only for the righteousness of Christ imputed to us (through Christ’s substitutionary atoning death and bodily resurrection) and received sola fida, by faith alone.


5. Those who are justified will live eternally in the presence of God and all the redeemed, and those who are not Justified will suffer eternal Damnation in hell.
