Our Beliefs

We believe the Bible to be the only inspired, infallible and authoritative Word of God.

• 2 Timothy 3:16
• 2 Peter 3:15-16
• Isaiah 55:11

We believe there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

• John 1:1
• 2 Corinthians 13:14
• Mark 1:9-10
• John 17:20-23

We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, sinless life, miracles, atoning death on the cross, bodily resurrection, bodily ascension into heaven, and His personal return once again in power and glory.

• John 5:18
• Matthew 1:18-23
• Mark 2:5-12
• John 1:29
• Acts 1:8-10

We believe that for the salvation of the lost and sinful, transformation by the Holy Spirit is essential. That salvation cannot be earned, but only through God’s grace and the sacrifice of Jesus Christ is it received through obedient faith.

• Titus 3:3-7
• Ephesians 2:8-10
• Acts 4:12

We believe that repentant believers in Christ should be baptized in water, by immersion (the Biblical form of baptism), in obedience to Christ (For those out of the Middle Tennessee area, Pastor Dennis can make arrangements with other pastors to administer the baptism)

• Matthew 28:18-20
• Acts 2:36-41
• Galatians 3:27-28
• Colossians 2:12-15
• Romans 6:3-4

We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by who’s indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.

• Acts 1:16
• 1 Corinthians 6:19-20
• Romans 8:26-27

We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost: the saved shall spend eternity in heaven and the lost shall spend eternity in hell.

• John 5:27-29
• Hebrews 9:27
• 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18

We believe that, because all believers are spiritually united in the Lord Jesus Christ, we should cooperate in all possible ways in God’s work with our fellow believers, both those among us and elsewhere, loving and being patient with one another in our differences.

• Galatians 3:26-28
• 1 Corinthians 12:12-13
• Ephesians 2:14-22
