Statement of Faith
The Bible - We affirm that the Bible, containing the Old and New Testaments, is alone the only infallible, inspired Word of God, and that its authority is ultimate, final, and eternal. It cannot be added to, subtracted from, or superseded in any regard. The Bible is the source of all doctrine, instruction, correction, and reproof. It contains all that is needed for guidance in godliness and practical Christian conduct. (Matthew 4:4; 1 Thessalonians 2:13; Hebrews 4:12; Romans 15:4; 1 Peter 1:23; 2 Peter 1:20-21; 2 Timothy 3:14-17)
The Trinity - We believe in the Trinity. That there is one God eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. (Matthew 28:19; Luke 3:22; Matthew 11:27; John 10:37-38; John 14:8-11; 1 John 5:7)
The Deity of Jesus Christ - We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and redemptive death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father and in His personal return in power and glory. (John 1:1; John 20:28; Matthew 1:23; 1 Peter 1:18-19; Romans 5:8; Ephesians 2:13; Acts 4:33; Luke 24:50-53; Acts 1:11; John 4:46-54; 2 Corinthians 5:21; 1 John 2:2; 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18; John 5:1-9; John 9: 1-7; John 20:30-31; John 21:25; Matthew 28:1-8; Mark 16:1-13: Luke 24:1-12; John 20:1-18)
The Fall of Man – Man was created good and upright; for God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness.” However, man by voluntary sin fell and thereby incurred not only physical death but also spiritual death, which is separation from God. (Genesis 1:26-27; 2:17; 3:6; Romans 5:12-19)
Salvation - We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful man, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is Biblically essential. (John 3:3-8; Hebrews 7:25; 1 Peter 1:18-23; Titus 3:5; James 1:18; 1 Peter 1:1-3; 1 John 1:7-9; 1 John 5:1-4) We believe in the Biblical truth of being Born Again only by grace through faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross. Jesus Christ is the Only way to heaven. (Ephesians 2:8-9; Romans 10:9-10; John 14:6)
The Holy Spirit - We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling & empowerment the Christian is enabled to live a Godly life & through whom the Spiritual gifts are operational in the church today.(John 7:39;14:15-18;16:7-15; Joel 2:28-29; Acts 2:17-21;Rom.12:6-8)
The Baptism in the Holy Spirit - We believe that God has provided to desiring believers an enduement of Spiritual power called the Baptism in the Holy Spirit, first and foremost for the evangelization of the lost. (Acts 1:4-5, 8; Acts 2:1-4, 38-39; Acts 10:44-46; Ephesians 4:11-12; Acts 19:1-6; 1 Corinthians 12:1-11; Romans 8:26-27)
Water Baptism - We believe in water baptism by immersion, following Jesus' example. All who repent and believe on Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord are to be baptized following salvation. Baptism is in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. (Matthew 28:19; Matthew 3:13-15)
Communion - We believe in Holy Communion offered on a regular basis, to born again believers in Jesus Christ and that as often as we do this, we proclaim the Lord's death until He comes. (I Corinthians 11:23-26; Luke 22:19)
The Resurrection - We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation. (Matthew 25:31-33; Mark 9:43-47; John 5:25-29; Acts 17:30-31; 2 Thessalonians 1:5-10; Rev. 20:4-6, 11-15)
Heaven & Hell - We believe in a literal Heaven & a literal Hell (1 Peter 3:19-22; Revelation 20:14; Revelation 21:1)
