Statement of Faith

We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God (Ps. 119:89; Is.40:8; 2 Tim. 3:16).

We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Deut. 6:4; Jn. 1:1; Acts 5:3, 4).

We believe in the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ (Is. 9:6; Jn. 1:1, 14; Col. 2:9; Titus 2:13), in His virgin birth (Is. 7:14; Matt. 1:21, 23), in His sinless life (2 Cor.5:21; 1 Pet. 2:22), in His miracles (Jn. 2:11; 3:2), in His vicarious death through His shed Blood (2 Cor. 5:21; 1 Pet. 1:19), in His resurrection (Matt. 28:6; Rom. 10:9; 1 Cor. 15:17), in His Ascension to the right hand of the Father (Acts 1:9; Heb. 12:2), and in His personal return in power and Glory (Acts 1:11; Rev. 1:5-7; 19:11-16).

We believe that all of mankind is initially spiritually lost, dead, and condemned as sinners by Almighty God (Rom. 3:10, 19, 23; Eph. 2:1), Who is both absolutely good and absolutely holy (Ps. 100:5; Is. 6:3; I john 1:5).

We believe that regeneration by the Holy Spirit is essential for the salvation of lost and sinful men and that this salvation is realized only by one’s confessing his sin to God, forsaking his sin by the grace of God, and trusting solely in the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ as his only means of attaining peace with God and eternal life (Prov. 28:13, Matt. 4:17, Jn. 10:10; 17:3; Acts 4:12; 16:31; 20:21; Rom. 5:1; 10:9; I Cor. 15:3,4; Gal. 1:9; I Jn. 1:9).

We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by Whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life (Rom. 8:26; 1 Cor. 6:19; Gal. 5:16).

We believe in the resurrection of the saved and the lost: the lost unto the resurrection of damnation (hell) and the saved unto the resurrection of life eternal (heaven) (Mat. 25:46; Jn. 5:28, 29).

We believe in the spiritual unity of the believers: those committed to Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord (Ps. 133:1; Jn. 13:35; Eph. 4:3; Heb. 13:1).
