"Oak Grove is made up of imperfect people encouraging each other to follow a perfect God..."
The Bible
We believe the Scriptures of the Old and New Testament to be verbally inspired by God,
inerrant in the original writings, and that they are of supreme and final authority in faith and life.
We believe that the King James Version is the preserved Word of God for the English-speaking
people and is the only acceptable translation to be used in this church.
Creation
We believe that God created the universe in six literal, 24-hour periods. We reject evolution, the gap theory, the day-age theory, theistic evolution, and intelligent design not attributed to God as unscriptural theories of origin. (Genesis 1-2; Exodus 20:11)
The Trinity
We believe that God is one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father Son, and Holy Spirit.
Jesus Christ
We believe in the eternal existence of Jesus Christ as God; that Jesus Christ was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary; that he lived a sinless life and died for our sins according to the Scriptures as a substitutionary sacrifice; that he rose literally and bodily from the dead; and that His present ministry is that of intercession in Heaven.
Mankind
We believe that man was created in the image of God, that he sinned and thereby incurred not only physical death but also that spiritual death which is separation from God; and that all human beings are born with a sinful nature and, in the case of those who reach moral responsibility, become sinners in thought, word, and deed.
Salvation
We believe that all who receive Christ by faith are regenerated by the Holy Spirit and become children of God.
Jesus' Return
We believe in the future, personal, visible, return of Christ to the earth.
Marriage
We believe in the sanctity of marriage (Hebrews 13:4). We believe that marriage was instituted by God and designed to be between one man and one woman for life (Genesis 2:24, Matthew
19:4-6).
Eternity
We believe in the bodily resurrection of the just and unjust, the everlasting blessedness of the
saved, and everlasting conscious punishment of the lost
