Statement of Faith
We believe the Bible to be the inspired, infallible, authoritative Word of God inerrant in the original writings (2 Tim. 3:16, 17).
We believe there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (1John 5:7, Deut 6:4).
We believe that God the Father has provided the way unto salvation in the atoning death and resurrection of the Son of God the Lord Jesus Christ as the only way, the truth and the life (John 14:6).
We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ. He is the expressed “image of the invisible God” (Col 1:15). He is to be worshiped, praised and adored, along with the Father and Holy Spirit, not only for what He has done, but for who He is; the Son of God and God the Son (Rev. 5:8-9).
We believe Jesus Christ was both fully human and fully God (Phil 2:5-8, Heb. 4:15). He was born of a virgin (Matt. 1:18); led a sinless life (2 Cor. 5:21); performed many miracles (John 10:38); was rejected by men, and therefore man rejected the Father, and the forgiveness His father offered (John 3:18); He suffered a vicarious and atoning death (Matt. 1:21), which was cruel and horrible by crucifixion on a cross, and therefore, became the great sacrifice of God “to take away the sins of the world.” (John 1:29); was bodily resurrected (Mark 16:6); and ascended to the right hand of the Father until His personal return in power and glory (Mark 14:62).
We believe then in the atoning sacrifice that God offered through His Son, having taken our place of wrath paying the full price that God demands of us all, escaping His wrath through repentance and faith (2 Cor 5:21).
We believe in the personal ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a Godly life (1 John 5:13; Gal. 5:22) in holiness and righteousness (Luke 1:75).
Sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men because all sinned. (Rom. 3:12) Death reigned from the time of Adam (Rom. 3:23).
“All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Rom. 3:23).
The wages of sin is death (Rom. 6:23), and will be punished with everlasting destruction and shut out from the presence of the Lord and from the majesty of His power. (2 Thess. 1:9)
We believe in a Heaven and Hell whereby man has a choice as to His salvation (Luke 10:20; Mark 9:46).
We believe that the lost and sinful man must be saved, to deliver him, her from condemnation, and that man’s only hope of redemption is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ, the Son of God (Col. 1:27; Eph. 1:7).
We believe in the sanctity of marriage as between one man and one woman as God created it to be, “and they shall become one flesh” (Gen. 2:24).
We believe in the spiritual birth of all who come by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, "You must be born again" (John 3:16).
We believe "there is no other name under heaven," "that by the name of Jesus Christ," "given among men by which we must be saved"(Acts 4:10, 12) from hellfire.
“If you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord”, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved”(Rom. 10:9) “For whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved”(Rom 10:13).
We believe in a personal relationship with God the Father through Jesus Christ the Son of the living God (John 3:16).
We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ (John 17:20, 21).
We believe that the Lord will come for His church (1 Thess. 4:16-17), and "we shall all be changed in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye (1 Cor. 15:51-52).
We believe in the “Great White Throne” judgment of God when anyone not found written in the “Book of life” will be cast into the lake of fire, and suffer eternal damnation (Rev. 20:11-15)
