Statement of Faith

1.    We believe in the inspiration of the Bible, that it is without error in the original documents

and the final authority in faith, life, and doctrine.

(2Tim. 3:15; 2Pet. 1:21)

2.    We believe in one living and true God, eternally existent in Three Persons;

Father, Son and the Holy Spirit.

(Gen. 1:1; Matt. 28:19; John 10:30)

3.    We believe God is the creator of all things, giver of all life, all knowing, all-powerful, and all loving.

(Gen. 1:1; Jer. 31:3; Acts 14:15; Heb. 11:3; Isa. 40:28)

4.    We believe in the humanity and deity of our Lord Jesus Christ.

(John 1:14, John 10:33)
• His virgin birth (Isa. 7:14; Matt. 1:23; Luke 1:35)
• His sinless life (Hebr. 4:14; Hebr. 7:26)
• His miracles (John 2:11)
• His finished work of salvation, including His atoning death on the cross,
  substituting for us (1Cor. 15:3; Eph. 1:7; Heb. 2:9)
• His bodily resurrection from death (John 11:25; 1Cor. 15:4)
• His ascension to the right hand of the Father (Mark 16:9)
• His personal return in power and glory (Acts 1:11; Rev. 19:11)

5.    We believe in the universal sinfulness and guilt of humanity since the Fall through Adam,

and that the relationship that God intended all people have with Him has been broken.

(Ps. 53:3; Isa. 53:6; Rom. 3:23).

6.    We believe that forgiveness and salvation of sinful humans is only by the grace of God

through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ alone, accomplished through the regeneration

of the Holy Spirit.

(John 3:16-19; John 5:24; Rom. 5:8-9; Eph. 2: 8-10; Tit. 3:5).

7.    We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit who indwells and empowers all Christians

enabling them to become more like Jesus Christ.

(Rom. 8:13-14; 1Cor.3:16; 1Cor. 6:19-20; Eph. 4:30; Eph. 5:18).

8.    We believe in the resurrection and judgment of all people; they who have been saved to

eternal fellowship with God, and they who are lost to bear the consequences of sin by eternal separation from God.

(John 5:28-29)

9.    We believe that having a saving faith in Jesus Christ unites all Christians as members of the body

of Christ, His church, and that we have the responsibility to maintain the unity of the spirit in love.

(Rom. 8:9; 1Cor. 12:12-13; Gal. 3:26-28)

10.  We believe that as Christians, we are to be committed to proclaim the gospel throughout

the world, demonstrating God’s love to all people.

(Matt. 26:18-20)
