Statement of Faith

We believe The Holy Bible is the inspired and only infallible, authoritative, inerrant Word of God in its original form and constitutes completed and final revelation. No other text is equal to or greater than The Holy Bible. The Holy Bible, in its original autograph, is without error in whole and in part and can not be added to or taken away. (II Timothy 3:16, II Peter 1:19-21, Matt. 5: 17-18, Revel. 22:18-19)

We believe that there is one, true God, who has existed from all eternity in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. (Col. 2:9, Gen. 1:1, John 10:30, John 10:37-38, Phil. 2:5-10)

We believe Jesus Christ was God come in human flesh, being fully God and fully man. We believe in the Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory. (Matt. 1:23, Luke 1:35, Heb. 4:15, Heb. 7:25, John 1:1-14, John 2:11, Heb. 9:12, Col. 1:14, John 11:25, Acts 1:11, Rev. 19:11-16, II Cor. 5:21)

We believe that man is sinful by nature and that regeneration by the Holy Spirit is essential and an absolute necessity for his salvation. The central purpose of the coming of Jesus Christ was to pay the penalty for man’s sin through substitutionary death on the cross. (Romans 3:19, John 3:16-19, Eph. 2:18-19, Titus 3:5-6)

We believe in the continuing ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a Godly life. (Eph. 5:18, Eph. 4:30, I Cor. 6:19-20)

We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost--they who are saved unto eternal life and they who are lost unto eternal damnation. Salvation is offered as a free gift from God, free to the sinner. This gift must be responded to in individual faith and repentance, not trusting in any personal works whatsoever, but in the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ alone. (John 5:28-29, Romans 6:23, Eph. 2:1-10, II Cor. 5:14-21)

We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ. Because of this unity, we believe that our joy is complete and encouraged by being like-minded and of the same attitude of that of Christ, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose. Each believer should look not only to self interest, but more so to the interests of others, and should do nothing out of selfish ambition, but in humility consider others better than self. (Romans 8:9, I Cor. 12:12-13, Gal. 3:26-28, Phil. 2:2-15)

We believe in the creation of man as a direct act of God. (Genesis 1:26-28, 5:1-2)
