Statement of Faith
We believe the Holy Scripture, both Old and New Testaments,
is the inspired Word of God, the complete revelation of His
will for the salvation of men, and the divine and final authority
for Christian faith and life.
- We believe in the one, true and living God, eternally
existing in three persons -- Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
- We believe in God the Son, Jesus Christ, true God and
true man, conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin
Mary. He died on the cross and shed His blood as atonement
for the sins of men, and was raised bodily from the dead.
He ascended into heaven. He will return imminently and personally
according to His promise.
- We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Third Person of the
Godhead, who is of one substance, equal in power, and coexistent
with the Father and the Son. His ministry is to convict
men, regenerate the believing sinners, and to indwell, and
empower the believers for godly living and service.
- We believe that man was created in the image and the
likeness of God, but in Adam all men have fallen into sin,
and as sinners men are in need of God’s salvation.
- We believe that penitent sinners are regenerated solely
by God’s grace and justified through faith in Jesus
Christ alone.
- We believe that there shall be a bodily resurrection
of the just to eternal life, and of the unjust to eternal
punishment.
- We believe that the church is one body, consisting of
those regenerated by the Spirit of God and of which Christ
is the head, expressing itself in worship, fellowship, evangelism
and service.
