Statement of Faith

What do we believe?

The Bible, both the Old and New Testaments, is the verbally inspired, infallible, inerrant Word of God and is our only rule in matters of faith and practice. [2 Tim. 3:16; 2 Peter 1:21]

There is one God, eternally existing in three persons--the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. [John 1:1; John 10:30, 37-38; John 15:26]

The heavens, earth, and all of nature were created by God and did not evolve. Man was created by a special and direct act of God and in the image of God. [Gen. 1; Gen. 2:4-7; Gen. 5:1-2]

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 substitutional atonement for the sins of mankind by the shedding of His blood on the cross, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory. [Isa. 7:14; Matt. 1:23; Luke 1:34-35; John 2:11; John 11:25; Acts 1:11; Col. 1:14; Heb. 4:15; Heb. 7:25; Heb. 9:12; Rev. 19:11-16]

Adam and Eve, in yielding to the temptation of Satan, became fallen creatures. All men are sinful by nature; therefore, regeneration is essential and absolutely necessary for salvation. Salvation is by grace through faith in the atoning blood of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. [Gen. 3:1-7; John 3:16-19; Rom. 3:19, 23; Rom. 5:24; Eph. 2:8-10; Titus 3:5-6]

The Christian is enabled to live a godly life by the continuing ministry of the in-dwelling Holy Spirit. [Eph. 4:30; Eph. 5:18; 1 Cor. 3:16; 1 Cor. 6:19-20]

Both the saved and the lost will be resurrected--the saved into eternal life and the lost into eternal damnation. [John 5:28-29]

All believers have spiritual unity in the Lord Jesus Christ. [Rom. 8:9; 1 Cor. 12:12-13; Gal. 3:26-28]
