Our Statement of Faith

Picture

We believe God is the Creator and Ruler of the universe.  He has eternally existed in three persons:  the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.  These three have unique functions, but form one God.  (Genesis 1:1;  John 1:1; )

We believe in the deity of Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father in Heaven, and in His personal return in power and glory for His church.  (1 Corinthians 15:3-4;  Acts 1:11;  John 1:1; 1:14; )

We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit.  All who accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior receive the gift of the Holy Spirit which enables them to live a godly life.  The role of the Holy Spirit is to provide guidance, convict, confirm, and comfort the human heart.  (John 14:16; 14:26;  1 Corinthians 12:11; )

We believe the Bible to be the inspired and only infallible, authoritative Word of God.  It is the supreme source of truth for Christian beliefs and living.  (2 Timothy 3:16;  2 Peter 1:20-21; )

We believe that for salvation of lost and sinful man, one must repent of their sins and accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.  Only through this relationship, can one receive God's forgiveness of sin and come unto the Father.  As a part of this process and in obedience to our Lord, we believe in baptism by immersion.  (Romans 3:23;  Romans 6:23;  Acts 4:12; )

We believe in man's eternal existence in spiritual life beyond physical death.  Thus, eternal union with God, of the saved, will be in Heaven and eternal separation from God, of the lost, will be in Hell.  (1 Corinthians 15:51-55;  Matthew 25:46; )
