OUR STATEMENT OF FAITH

We believe the Holy Bible was written by men divinely inspired and moved, and that it is God’s revelation of Himself to man.

It is a perfect treasure of divine instruction. It has God for its author, salvation for its end, and truth, without any mixture of error, for its matter. Therefore, all Scripture is totally true and trustworthy. All Scripture is a testimony to Christ, who is Himself the focus of divine revelation.

We believe there is one and only one living and true God.

He is an intelligent, spiritual, and personal Being. The Creator, Redeemer, Preserver, and Ruler of the universe. We believe God exists eternally in three distinct persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit who are equal in power, authority and glory.

We believe Jesus Christ to be the eternal virgin born Son of God

who lived in flesh, died for the sins of the world, was buried, rose again bodily, and ascended to the Father.

We believe in the Holy Spirit who regenerates and indwells every believer in Jesus

assures us of our salvation, guides us into all truth, glorifies Jesus and convicts of sin, righteousness and judgment. He comforts us, gives us spiritual gifts, and empowers us for service.

We believe that all people were created in the image of God to have fellowship with him but became alienated in that relationship through sinful disobedience.

As a result, people are incapable of regaining a right relationship with God through their own efforts.

 

 

We believe that the blood of Jesus Christ, shed on the cross, provides the only way for the forgiveness of sin.

God freely offers salvation to those who place their faith in the death and resurrection of Christ as sufficient payment for their sin. Salvation cannot be earned, it is a gift from God.

We believe in the universal church, the body of Christ, of which Jesus Christ is the head.

The members of the church are those who have trusted by faith in the finished work of Christ and allowed Jesus to be their Savior and Lord. The purpose of the church is to glorify God by loving him, obeying Him and bringing the gospel to the world.

We believe in the personal and visible return of Christ to the earth

and the establishment of His Kingdom, in the resurrection of the body, and the final judgment. We believe that our eternal destination of either heaven or hell is determined by our response to the invitation by the Lord Jesus Christ.
