We believe that Jesus Christ was virgin-born, sinless in life, and mighty in words and deeds. We believe Jesus was both God and man, and that He was crucified for our sins, and was bodily raised from the dead. He then ascended to His Father\u2019s side where He is head of the church and intercedes for believers. We believe Jesus Christ is coming again personally, visibly, and bodily to reign as Lord.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: x-small;\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman';\">ABOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT<\/span><\/strong><\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: x-small;\">We believe that the Holy Spirit is a person, is God, and has all the divine characteristics.

We believe that to receive salvation one must repent of sin and trust Jesus Christ alone. All who have received Christ will, at death, depart to be with Christ in their spirits and will receive a new body at His return, which will be like His glorious body.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: x-small;\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman';\">ABOUT THE CHURCH<\/span><\/strong><\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: x-small;\">We believe a New Testament church is a local body of baptized believers who have agreed together to worship Jesus Christ, edify the believers, evangelize the lost, and minister to others. We believe the church has two ordinances: baptism and the Lord\u2019s Supper. Baptism symbolizes the death, burial\u00a0<g class=\"gr_ gr_48 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Punctuation only-ins replaceWithoutSep\" id=\"48\" data-gr-id=\"48\">and<\/g>\u00a0resurrection of Jesus Christ, and the new life we have in Him.

We believe the wages of sin is death. We believe sin is a violation of what you know to be right.
