What We Believe And Why We Believe It :

believes the Bible originated with God and was inspired by the Holy Spirit is the inerrant word of God that furnishes us completely with all truth on every spiritual subject.

believes that Jesus has all authority but He sent the Holy Spirit to guide the apostles into all truth.

believes the Bible is our authority for all we do in word and deed we must know how to use it in order to know what to practice.  

believes that we are saved by grace through faith.  Grace is what God did in providing us a plan.  Faith is what causes us to obey the plan.  The Bible teaches there are five things on must do to become a Christian.  One must hear the Word of God.  Hearing is a must because that is the way one gets faith.  One must believe in Jesus Christ as the Son of God. Believing is more than just knowing there was a historical man named Jesus who walked upon the earth.  One must believe who He is and that He was raised from the dead. One must repent of his sins.Repentance is overcoming self, a determination to try to live above sin and allowing Christ to come first in all things. One must confess his faith in Jesus as the Son of God.  Confession may be making your faith public.  Think of it as pledging your allegiance to Christ.One must be baptized into Christ for the forgiveness of sins in the name of Christ.  Baptism changes our relationship with Christ.  Before baptism, one is on the outside, after baptism, one is on the inside where all the blessings of a spiritual nature are present.

believes that the Christian is to let His light shine and influence others for Jesus.  Each needs to be careful not only to do what is right, but also to never put a stumbling block in the way of others.
believes that in His wisdom of God has chosen to work through the local church.

strives to preach the gospel everywhere , to support as many preachers to do so as it can.  And to train preachers, song leaders, personal workers, teachers, etc.

believes God authorized each local church to care for its own and send to needy churches unable to care for their own.  The individual Christian ought to help neighbors or any he can help.  Christians are to be kind hearted and loving people.
