What We Believe

 What We Believe...

             The Bible - We believe the Bible to be God's Word to man. It is perfect and free of any mistakes.

              God - We believe that there is one true God, who exists in three persons. He is the creator of all things and the redeemer of mankind. He exists as God the                                                   Father, God the Son in the person of Jesus, and God the Holy Spirit.

              Man - We believe that God created man as male and female. Man was created in the image of God and bears His likeness but fell into sin by his own will and is                            completely dependent on God for life and salvation.

              Jesus - We believe that Jesus is God's Son and came to earth, fully God and fully man, lived a perfect and sinless life, was crucified on a cross, rose from the grave                                                       three days later, and later ascended to heaven where he now sits at the right hand of the Father.

              Faith - We believe that salvation is from the Lord and is offered freely to all mankind through faith in Jesus Christ.

 
              Salvation - We believe that salvation includes repentance, which is turning from sin; faith, which is belief and trust in  Jesus Christ; justification, which is the  total pardon of                              all sin; sanctification, which is the certain growth of every Christian in Christ-likeness; and glorification, which is the final and ultimate perfection of every Christian.
 
 
            The Church - We believe the church is the body of Christ and is expressed as autonomous local congregations all over the world and throughout time. Qualified men fill the                               office of pastor. Qualified men and women serve the church.
 
             Baptism and the Lord's Supper - We believe that all Christians observe the two ordinances of the church, which are baptism and the Lord's Supper. Baptism, as the first step                               of obedience in the life of the Christian, is the immersion of believers in water signifying their union with Christ and the church. We believe that baptism is a                               prerequisite to membership and the Lord's Supper. The Lord's Supper is the remembrance of the death of Jesus Christ and our accountability to obedience.

          Evangelism and Missions - We believe that it is the calling and privilege of every Christ follower and every church to make disciples of all nations. The Lord Jesus has                          commanded the preaching of the gospel to all nations, so our aim is to make disciples in Georgia, across the United States, and around the world.
     
          Christ's Return - We believe that God, in His own time and way, will bring the world to a right end. Jesus Christ will physically return to earth at that time. The world will be                          judged, and all Christians will be brought to live together with the Lord in heaven forever.
