Statement of Faith
- We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative, inerrant Word of God (II Timothy 3:15; II Peter 1:21).
- We believe there is one God, eternally existent in three persons- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Genesis 1:1; Matthew 28:19; John 10:30).
-
We believe in the deity of Christ (John 10:33);
His virgin birth (Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:23; Luke 1:35);
His sinless life (Hebrews 4:15; Hebrews 7:26);
His miracles (John 2:11);
His vicarious and atoning death (I Corinthians 15:3; Ephesians 1:7; Hebrews 2:9);
His resurrection (John 11:25; I Corinthians 15:4);
His ascension to the right hand of the Father (Mark 16:19); and
His personal return in power and glory (Acts 1:11; Revelation 19:11). - We believe in the removal of sins via the blood of Jesus and the regeneration of the Holy Spirit. We believe that all men choose to sin when they reach the age of accountability, for Romans 3:23 teaches, "For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God". We believe that "without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him" (Hebrews 11:6). We believe God's grace is made available to anyone who wishes to take the free gift. We believe in order for one to take the gift of grace he/she must Hear (Romans 10:17), Believe (John 3:16), Repent (Luke 13:3, Acts 2:38), Confess the Lordship of Christ (Matthew 10:32, Matthew 16:16), and be Immersed (I Peter 3:21, Acts 2:38, Matthew 28:19 and 20) and arise to walk in newness of life.
- We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life, and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation (John 5:28-29).
- We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 8:9; I Corinthians 12:12-13; Galatians 3:26-28).
- We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life (Romans 8:13-14; I Corinthians 3:16; I Corinthians 6:19-20; Ephesians 4:30; Ephesians 5:18).
