What We Believe

By Pastor Tim Hitchcock

The Scriptures

     We believe in the authority and sufficiency of the Holy Bible, consisting of the sixty-six books of the Old and New Testament, as originally written; that it is the product of holy men of God speaking as they were moved upon by the Holy Ghost.

The True God

     We believe that there is one and only one living and true God; that He has chosen to reveal His character and attributes in the Holy Scriptures.

God the Son

     We believe that the Son, Jesus Christ, is the second person of the Godhead; that He is equally divine with the Father and the Holy Spirit.

God the Holy Spirit

     We believe that the Holy Spirit is a Divine Person-equal with the Father and the Son and of the same nature and substance.

The Angels, the Devil, and Fallen Angels

     We believe that God is the only self-existent and almighty one; that God created angels to be ministering spirits; that they are mighty, but not almighty.

Heaven and Hell

     We believe in the existence of both a literal heaven and hell.

Salvation

     We believe that Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners; that He and He alone as virgin born Son of God can offer salvation to mankind; that He made our salvation possible by dying in our place (substitutionary atonement).
