Statement of Faith
We believe:
- In
one holy, loving, all-powerful, and gracious
Creator God who exists in three Persons of the
Godhead: the Father, the Son, and the Holy
Spirit.
- That
the Bible is the inspired and infallible Word
of God, the full and final authority for all
matters of faith and practice.
- In
the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, in His
virgin birth, sinless life, miracles, atoning
death, bodily resurrection, heavenly
ascension, priestly intercession and that He
will soon return to judge the living and the
dead, in the resurrection of the dead and the
life of the world to come, some into eternal
damnation and others into the resurrection of
eternal life.
- That
Jesus Christ suffered and died on the cross
for human sin and that His death is the only
sacrifice for the sins of the entire world and
that it is only efficient in the lives of
those individuals who, through repentance and
faith in Him, lay hold of eternal life, and
that He was raised bodily on the third day,
and that He ascended to heaven and sits at the
right hand of God the Father.
- In
the Holy Spirit, who brings sinners to
repentance, who gives eternal life to
believers, and who lives in them to conform
them to the image of Jesus Christ and, in the
indwelling and the Baptism of the Holy Spirit
with the evidence of speaking in tongues as
the initial physical sign.
- That
Christians are composed of born again baptized
believers in the Lord Jesus Christ who
voluntarily gather in regular fellowship
edifying the Body of Christ, perfecting the
Saints and spreading the Gospel of Jesus
Christ to the world and who live lives of
faith that make evident the Good News that
people of all nationalities can enter the
kingdom of God by repenting of their
iniquities and accepting and putting their
trust in Jesus Christ.
- That
scriptural baptism is by full immersion of a
believer in water in the name of the Father,
and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
- That
salvation comes not by works, but only by
God’s grace through faith and trust in Jesus
Christ and that the Bible teaches that without
holiness no man shall see the Lord and that
the doctrine of sanctification is a definite,
yet progressive work of grace, commencing at
the time of regeneration and continuing until
the consummation of salvation.
