The Next Step

About Us

 

1. We believe in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments in their original writing as fully inspired of God and accept them as the supreme and final authority for faith and life.
 
2. We believe in one God, externally existing in three Persons-Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
 
3. We believe that all that repent of their sins and receive the Lord Jesus Christ by faith are born again of the Holy Spirit and thereby become children of God.
 
4. We believe that God created man in his own image; that man sinned and thereby incurred the penalty of sin which is death, physical and spiritual; that all human beings inherit a sinful nature which issues (in the case of those who reach moral responsibility) in actual transgressions involving personal guilt.
 
5. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins, a substitutionary sacrifice according to the Scriptures and that all who believe in Him are justified on the grounds of His shed blood.
 
6. We believe that when a person is truly saved by placing their faith in Christ and His finished work on the cross, then they cannot loose their salvation, but have already received Eternal Life and are sealed by the Holy Spirit.
 
7. We believe that the one true Church is the whole company of those who have been redeemed by Jesus Christ and regenerated by the Holy Spirit; that the local church on earth should take its character from this conception of the Church spiritual and therefore, that the new birth and personal confession of Christ are essentials of Church membership.
 
8. We believe in the personal return of the Lord Jesus Christ.
 
9. We believe in the resurrection of both the just and the unjust, the eternal blessedness of the redeemed, and the eternal banishment of those who have rejected the offer of salvation.
 
10. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ appointed 2 ordinances- Baptism in water and the Lord’s Supper- not to save us but to be observed as acts of obedience and as perpetual witnesses to the cardinal facts of the Christian faith; that Baptism is the immersion of the believer as a confession of identification with Christ in burial and resurrection and that the Lord’s Supper is the partaking of the emblems symbolic of the Savior’s broken body and shed blood, in remembrance of His sacrificial death, until He comes.
