Statement of Faith
We believe the Bible (Old and New Testaments) to be
the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God.
We believe in one God, eternally existing in three
persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
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 atoning death
through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of
the Father, in His present rule as Head of the Church, and in His personal return in power
and glory.
We believe that man was created in the image of God,
that he sinned and thereby incurred not only physical death, but also spiritual death
which is separation from God, that all human beings are born with a sinful nature and that
those who reach moral responsibility are sinners in thought, word and deed. (This
statement affirms our belief that man was created by a direct act of God in His image, not
from previously existing creatures, and that all of mankind sinned in Adam and Eve, the
historical parents of the entire human race.)
We believe that all who receive by faith the Lord
Jesus Christ are born again of the Holy Spirit and become children of God.
We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit
by whose indwelling the Christian is enabling to live a godly life.
We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and
the lost, they that are saved unto the resurrection of life and they that are lost unto
the resurrection of damnation.
