STATEMENT OF FAITH

 

We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible,

authoritative Word of God, (2 Timothy 3;16, 2 Peter 1:21).

 

We believe that God is the ultimate creator of the universe

and all things (Genesis 1:1-31). 

 

We believe in the triune Godhead as eternally existent in three

persons; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, (Genesis 1:1, Matthew 28:19,

John 10:30).

 

We believe in the diety of Jesus Christ (John 10:33), in His virgin birth

(Isaiah 7:14, Matthew 1:23, Luke 1:35), in His sinless life (Hebrews 4:15, 7:26), in His miracles (John 2:11), in his vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood (1 Corinthians 15:3, Ephesians 1:7, Hebrews 2:9). in His bodily resurrection (John 11:25, 1 Corinthians 15:4), in His ascension to the right hand of the Father (Mark 16:19). and in His present and priestly ministry, (Revelation 11:15).

 

We believe in evangelistic and missionary fervor and endeavor, (Matthew 28:18-20).

 

We believe that for salvation of the lost and sinful man, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential. We further believe in the keeping power of God, (John 3:16-21; John 5:24; Romans 3:23-5:8, 9; Ephesians 2:8-10; Titus 3:5).

 

We believe in the indwelling of the Holy Spirit and His continuing ministry as the giver of spiritual gifts to be used for the common good and His fruit in the life of the believer, (Romans 8:13, 14; 1 Corinthians 3:16, 6:19, 20; Ephesians 4:30, 5:18).

 

We believe in Christ's imminent personal return in power and great glory, and in His present and everlasting dominion, (John 14:3).

 

We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost: that they are saved unto the resurrection of eternal life and that they are lost unto the resurrection of eternal punishment. (John 5:28, 29).
