Statement of Faith

We believe:

  1. The Bible (KJV) to be the inspired, only infallible and authoritative Word of God. (2 Tim. 3:16; 1 Thess. 2:13; 2 Pet. 1:21)
  2. There is one true God externally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (Deut. 6:4; Isa. 43:10-11; Matt. 28:18-20; Luke 3:22)
  3. In the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, sinless life, miracles, substitutionary death on the cross, bodily resurrection, ascension to the Father, and His return in power and glory. (Matt. 1:23, 28:6; Luke 1:31–32, 24:39; Acts 1:9–11, 2:22, 10:37–38; 1 Cor. 15:3–6; 2 Cor. 5:21–6:1; Phil 2:9–11; Heb. 1:3, 7:26–27)
  4. Regeneration by the Holy Spirit is essential for the salvation of sinful man; a person must experience spiritual rebirth. Only through the power of the Holy Spirit is a Christian able to live a more godly life. (Rom. 8:16, 10:12–13; Eph. 2:8–10, 4:24; Titus 2:11–12, 3:4–8)
  5. There is a resurrection of both the saved and the lost, the saved to eternal life in heaven, the lost to hell. (Rom. 3:23–24; 1 Cor. 15:51–52; 1 Thess. 4:15–17; Rev. 20:11–15, 21:6–8)
  6. Jesus Christ rose from the dead and is returning again. (Zech. 14:4-5; Matt. 24:26, 30; Rev. 1:7, 19:11-13)
  7. The Great Commission of the church is to go into the entire world and preach the Gospel to every person. (Matt. 28:18–20; Mark 16:15; Luke 14:23; Acts 1:7–8)
  8. In the spiritual unity of believers through the working of the Holy Spirit and the Lord Jesus Christ. (Ps. 133:1; Eph. 4:11–13; Phil. 2:1–3)
  9. In holy Christian living, and we must have concern and compassion for the hurts and social needs of our fellow men. (Col. 3:12–14; Rom. 15:1–2)
  10. We must dedicate ourselves to the service of our Lord and to His authority over our lives. (Col. 1:9–11; Eph. 6:7–8)
