Statement of Faith

We believe in one God, eternally existent as God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.

We believe that the Bible, composed of the Old and New Testaments, is God’s inspired and infallible Word, and is the supreme standard and final authority for all conduct, faith, and doctrine.

We believe in the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning blood in death, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His promised personal return in power and glory.

We believe man was created by God in His image, but by willful transgression became sinful and is justly under condemnation and wrath of Almighty God.

We believe that the only salvation from this guilt and condemnation is through faith in the righteousness and atonement of the Lord Jesus Christ.  Salvation is the gift of God’s love and grace brought about only by confession through prayer and a life of faith and service.  “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life”.  (John 3:16, NIV).

We believe in the personality of the Holy Spirit and that His ministry is to reveal Christ to men, to convict of our sin, to redeem sinners through confession and to sanctify the lives of the transformed believers, by His indwelling presence and power.

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ instituted the ordinances of baptism and communion; that baptism by immersion is only to be administered upon profession of faith in Christ, thereby declaring our faith in a crucified, buried and risen Savior; that communion is only for believers, is to be preceded by faithful self-examination, and is in remembrance of the Lord’s death until He comes.

We believe that a local Church is a body of believers committed to Christ’s ordinances, worship, fellowship, serving others, and the spread of the Gospel of God’s grace to all the world.

We believe that every human being, believer, or unbeliever, is personally responsible to God in all matters
