Statement of Faith

  1. We believe in the Scriptures consisting of the Old and New Testaments as being the verbally inspired Word of God, completely inerrant in the original writings, and of supreme and final authority in faith and life. (II Timothy 3:16-17; II Peter 1:20-21)
  2. We believe in one God, existing eternally in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. (Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 28:19-20)
  3. We believe that Jesus Christ was begotten by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, and is true God and true man. (Luke 1:35; Philippians 2:6-8)
  4. We believe that God created man in His image and likeness, but through Adam's sin, man inherited a sinful nature, is completely alienated from God, and is utterly unable to remedy his lost condition. (Romans 5:12, 15; Ephesians 2:1)
  5. We believe that Jesus Christ died for sins according to the Scriptures, as a representative and substitutionary sacrifice, and on the grounds of His shed blood, all who believe in Him are justified. (Romans 3:23-24, 28; II Corinthians 5:19; I John 2:2)
  6. We believe in the bodily resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, His ascension into heaven, and His present ministry as High Priest and Advocate. (I Corinthians 15:1, 3-5; John 2:19-22; I John 2:2)
  7. We believe that the Holy Spirit, the third person of the Godhead, in the present age indwells all believers, baptizes them into the Body of Christ, seals them to the day of redemption, and gives spiritual gifts to the Body of Christ. (Acts 5:3-4; I Corinthians 6:19-20; 12:1-13; Ephesians 4:30; Romans 12:6-8)
  8. We believe that all who receive by faith the Lord Jesus Christ are regenerated by the Holy Spirit and become children of God, a relationship in which they are eternally secure. (John 3:5-7; 10:27-29)
  9. We believe that the Church, which is the Body and the espoused Bride of Christ, is a spiritual organism made up of all regenerated people of this age. (Ephesians 3:6, 10; Ephesians 5:32)
  10. We believe that Satan is a person, the author of sin and the cause of the Fall, that he is an active enemy of God and His children, and he shall be eternally punished in the Lake of Fire. (Genesis 3; Ephesians 6:10-18)
  11. We believe in the personal, pre-millennial and imminent return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, our blessed hope. (Acts 1:9-11; I Thessalonians 4:13-18; Titus 2:13)
  12. We believe in the bodily resurrection of the saved and unsaved, the everlasting blessedness of the saved, and the everlasting conscious punishment of the Lost. (John 5:28-29; Revelation 20:11-15)
  13. We believe that baptism by immersion best exemplifies a believer’s faith in the crucified and risen Savior, his or her death to sin, and his or her resurrection to a new life in Christ.
