What We Believe in
Statement of Faith
1.
The scriptures, both Old and New Testaments, are the inspired Word of God without error in the original writings, the complete revelation of His will for the salvation of men, and the divine and final authority for all Christian faith and life.
2.
There is one God, creator of all things, infinitely perfect, and eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit.
3.
Jesus Christ is the true God and true man, having been conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He died on the cross as a sacrifice for our sins according to scripture. Furthermore, He arose bodily from the dead, ascended into Heaven, where at the right hand of the majesty on High, He is now our High Priest and Advocate, and will return into power and glory.
The Ministry of the Holy Spirit is to glorify the lord Jesus Christ and, during this age, to convict men of sin; regenerate the believing sinner; indwell, guide, instruct, and empower the believer for godly living and service.
4.
Man was created in the image of God but fell into sin and is therefore lost. Only through faith in Jesus Christ can salvation and eternal life be obtained.
5.
The shed blood of Jesus Christ and His resurrection provide the only ground for the justification and salvation for all who believe, and only such as receive Jesus Christ by faith are born of the Holy Spirit thus become the children of God/
6.
In the last days there will be bodily resurrection of all the dead, of the believer to everlasting blessedness and joy with the Lord, and of the unbeliever to judgement and everlasting, conscious punishment.
7.
The true church is composed of all such persons, who have been born again and united together in the body of Christ of which He is the Head.
