Statement of Faith

 THE BIBLE:

     We believe that the Bible is God’s Word (John 1:1) and that it was written by men divinely inspired (II Peter 1:19-21).  We believe that it has supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct (II Timothy 3:14-17).

THE TRINITY:

     We believe that there is one living and true God, eternally existing in three persons; Who are equal in divine perfection; and Who execute distinct but harmonious offices in the work of creation, providence, and redemption. (Matthew 28:19; II Corinthians 13:14)

GOD THE FATHER:

     We believe in God the Father Who is perfect in holiness (I Peter 1:15, 16), infinite in wisdom (James 1:5), and measureless in power (I Corinthians 1:18).

We rejoice that He concerns Himself mercifully in the affairs of people (Ephesians 2:4, 5) and that He hears and answers prayer (Philippians 4:6).

We rejoice that He saves us all from sin and death when we come to Him through Jesus Christ (I Peter 1:21-23, I John 5:11-13).

JESUS CHRIST: 

We believe in Jesus Christ, God’s only begotten Son, Who was miraculous in His birth (Luke 1:30-35, Luke 2:10, 11). He is sinless in His life (II Corinthians 5:21) and makes atonement for the sins of the world by His death (John 11:25-27).

We believe in His bodily resurrection (John 20:1-20) and His ascension into heaven (Mark 16:19).

We believe in His perpetual intercession for His people (Hebrews 7:24-26, John 14: 13, 14) and His personal visible return to the world according to His promise (John 14:1-6).

HOLY SPIRIT:

We believe in the Holy Spirit Who came forth from God to convince the world of sin, of righteousness, of judgment, and to regenerate, sanctify, and comfort those who believe in Jesus Christ (John 16:7-14B, Acts 9:31). 

SALVATION:

     We believe that all people by nature and by choice are sinners (Genesis 3, Romans 3:10, 23, Romans 5:12). As stated in John 3:16, we believe that “God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him, shall not perish but have everlasting life.”

     We believe that those who accept Christ as Savior and Lord will rejoice forever in God’s presence while those who refuse His plan of salvation will be forever separated from God (Mark 16:15, 16 and John 3:18).
