Faith Statement
§ We believe the Bible is the only written Word of God. It is inspired by Him and is wholly trustworthy and authoritative (2 Timothy 3:15-16).
§ We believe in one God, eternally manifested and existent as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19, John 10:30, 16:13-15).
§ We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ (John 1:1,14), in His virgin birth (Isaiah 7:14, Luke 1:34-35), in His miracles (John 2:11, Acts 10:38), in His atoning death (1 Corinthians 15:3, Hebrews 2:9; 10:10, 14), in His bodily resurrection (1 Corinthians 15:4, John 2:21-22, Luke 24:6), in His ascension to the right hand of the Father (Acts 1:9, Ephesians 1:20, Colossians 3:1), and in His personal future return to the earth in power and glory (Mark 13:26, Matthew 16:27).
§ We believe in the necessity of salvation through regeneration by the Holy Spirit because of man's sinful nature inherited from Adam. We believe that man is justified only through God's grace by personal repentance and faith in Jesus Christ and his shed blood (John 3:16-19, Romans 3:23-24; 5:8-9, Ephesians 2:8-10, Titus 3:5).
§ We believe in the resurrection of all persons - those who are saved unto the resurrection of life, and those who are lost unto the resurrection of damnation (John 5:28-29).
§ We believe in the spiritual unity of the believer in our Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 8:9, 1 Corinthians 12:12-13, Galatians 3:26-28).
§ We believe in the indwelling of the Holy Spirit by whom the believer receives sanctification and the power to live a godly life (Romans 8:13-14, I Corinthians 3:16, 6:19-20, Ephesians 4:30, 5:18).
