Statement of Faith
We believe the Bible to be the inspired, inerrant, authoritative Word of God. We believe there is one God, eternally existent in three (3) Persons—Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We believe in the deity and humanity 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, and in His personal return in power and glory. We believe that we are sinners deserving God’s wrath, but that salvation is the through the atoning work of Jesus Christ on the cross and the essential regeneration by the Holy Spirit.
We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life. We believe that God’s redemptive purpose will be consummated by the return of Christ to raise the dead, judge all men, and establish His glorious kingdom; those who are apart from Christ shall be eternally separated from God’s presence, but the righteous shall live and reign with Him forever. We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.
