Statement of Faith
- We believe the Bible to be the inspired Word of God that reveals His will for the salvation of men, and the final authority for all Christian faith and life.
- We believe in one God existing in three Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
- We believe that Jesus Christ was conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He died on the cross as a sacrifice for our sins then arose from the dead and ascended into heaven, where He now is our High Priest and Advocate.
- We believe the ministry of the Holy Spirit is to glorify Jesus Christ, convict men, and guide, instruct and empower the believer.
- We believe that man was created in the Image of God, but fell into sin. Only through renewal in the Holy Spirit can we gain salvation.
- We believe that the blood of Jesus Christ and His resurrection provide the only way to salvation for all who believe. Those who receive Jesus Christ are born of the Holy Spirit and become children of God.
- We believe that water baptism and the Lord’s Supper should be observed by the church. However, they are not a means to salvation.
- We believe that the true church is made up of people, who by believing in Jesus Christ and having been renewed by the Holy Spirit, are united in the Body of Christ.
- We believe that only those who are members of the true church can become members in the local church.
- We believe that Jesus Christ is the Lord and Head of the Church and that every local church has the right, under Christ, to conduct its own affairs.
- We believe in the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and that this “Blessed Hope” impacts the personal life and actions of each believer.
- We believe in the physical resurrection of the dead, where the believer will gain eternal life with the Lord and the unbeliever everlasting punishment.
