Statement of Faith
We believe: In the plenary and verbal inspiration and inerrancy of the Bible as originally given; that it is the complete revelation of God written for the salvation of man. The Word of God is the supreme and final authority regarding faith and the Christian life.
We believe: That there is only one true God. He is all knowing, all wise, and all powerful, eternal and sovereign. He ever eternally exists in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit;
We believe: The deity of Jesus Christ. Being all God and all man, the world’s only Savior; in His pre-incarnation, virgin birth, sinless life, death on the cross, burial, bodily resurrection who sits on the right hand side of the Father who continually makes intercession for the believer.. and in His personal, visible return to reign on earth for a thousand years;
We believe: In God, the Holy Spirit, who convicts the world of sin, regenerates, indwells, anoints, teaches and empowers the believer; seals with promise the pledge of inheritance.
We believe: That God created man in his image, that he sinned and separated himself physically and spiritually from God. All people are born with a sin nature are lost, guilty, and deserving the wrath of God and in need of salvation.
We believe John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. We believe all who repent, confess and believe are saved by grace through faith in the shed blood of Christ; Believers are then adopted and become joint-heirs with Christ which assures eternal salvation and inheritance.;
We believe that the church is the body of Jesus Christ. Those who have trusted in the complete work of the cross and have separated themselves in obedience from sin. Those who have embraced His grace allow Him to propel the believer’s faith into action. In the Holy Spirit’s power they are compelled to serve the Lord Jesus in all good works in obedience to fulfilling the scriptures. The Holy Spirit in the believer will result in a life of holiness and a walk of obedience to the will of God.
We believe in the resurrection of the dead, which means eternal glory for the believers in heaven and unbelievers to eternal punishment in hell of conscious suffering. We believe that Jesus Christ will return for His church, His bride. All true believers will reign with Him and he will establish His Kingdom throughout eternity.
We believe we are to walk in obedience to the Lord’s commands: to be baptized, partake in communion, and to lead people of all nations to faith in the Lord Jesus and to encourage them to mature in Him.
