Statement of Faith
We believe both Old and New Testaments, are verbally inspired of God and are the revelation of God to man, the infallible, authoritative rule of faith and conduct. (II Timothy 3:16)
We believe the has revealed Himself as being the eternally self-existent Creator of heaven and earth, and the Redeemer of mankind. He has further revealed Himself as a trinity, that is, one Being existing in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (II Corinthians 13:14)
We believe the is the eternal Son of God, as revealed in the Scriptures, by His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His death on the cross, His bodily resurrection from the dead, and His position at the right hand of God. (II Peter 3:18; Revelation 1:8)
We believe that man was created good and upright. However, man and thereby was subjected not only to physical death but to spiritual death, which is separation from God. (Romans 3:23)
We believe man's only hope of is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Salvation is received through repentance toward God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. (Romans 10:9,10)
We believe in the ordinance of baptism by immersion in water is commanded of all who repent and believe on Christ as Savior. It represents having died with Christ and being raised with Him to walk in newness of life (Matthew 28:19). We also believe the Lord's Supper is a memorial of Christ's suffering and death and a prophecy of His second coming. It is commanded of all believers "until He comes". (I Corinthians 11:25,26)
We believe all Christians are entitled to and should seek the baptism in the Holy Spirit, with the initial physical sign of speaking with other tongues according to Acts 2:4. This promised experience gives a Christian power to witness and live for Christ and is the gateway to the gifts of the Spirit. (Acts 1:8)
We believe sanctification is an act of separation from that which is evil and of dedication to God. (Romans 12:1)
We believe deliverance from sickness is provided for in the atonement and is the privilege of all believers. (Isaiah 53:5)
We believe the Church is the Body of Christ with a divinely called ministry. Its purpose is to evangelize the world, worship God and encourage believers to grow in the likeness of Christ. (Romans 12:5)
We believe the blessed hope of the church is Christ's return from heaven to catch up the Christians who have died, together with those who are alive, to be with Him forever. We believe Christ will return with His saints to establish a thousand year reign of peace. We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost, the one to everlasting life and the other to everlasting damnation. We believe that after the final judgment, God will establish a new heaven and a new earth, wherein dwells righteousness forever and ever.
