Our Faith

STATEMENT OF FAITH

THE BIBLE

We believe the Bible to be the infallible, authoritative Word of God, and that God has communicated to man through the Old and New Testaments.  The scripture was written by men inspired of God and is the foundation for our individual lives and for the church.  1 Thessalonians 2:13; 2 Timothy 3:15-17.

GOD

We believe that there is one God, eternally existing in three equal persons: The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and that this triune God created all things, upholds all things, and governs all things.  Genesis 1:1; Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 28:19; John 10:30; Ephesians 4:4-6; Hebrews 9:14.

THE LORD JESUS

We believe in the person, work, and deity of Jesus Christ, God’s only begotten Son, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, and who lived a sinless life.  We believe in His atoning death, bodily resurrection, ascension into heaven, perpetual intercession for His people, and His visible return to earth.  Isaiah 7:14; Micah 5:2; Matthew 1:23; Mark 16:19; Luke 1:34-35; John 1:1-4, 29, 8:58, 11:25; Acts 1:11 and 2:22-24; Romans 8:34; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Philippians 2:5-11; Hebrews 1:1-4, 8 and 4:15; 1 John 1:2; Revelation 1:8.

THE SPIRIT

We believe in the person of the Holy Spirit, who came forth from the Father and Son to convict the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment, and to regenerate, sanctify and empower for ministry all who believe in Christ.  We believe the Holy Spirit indwells every believer in Jesus Christ and we believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit who enables us to live a godly life and exercise our spiritual gifts.  John 3:5-8, 14:16-17, 16:8-11; Acts 1:8 and 4:31; Romans 8:9, Ch. 12, 15:13,16; 1 Corinthians 2:14, Ch. 12; 2 Corinthians 3:18; Galatians 5:16-18; Ephesians 4 and 6:12; Colossians 2:6-10; Hebrews 9:14; 1 Peter 2:8-11.

THE GOSPEL

We believe that all people everywhere are sinners by nature, are lost, under condemnation, and face the judgment of God.  We believe that the ministry of evangelism and discipleship is a responsibility of all followers of Christ, and that Jesus Christ is the only way of salvation.  We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful man, repentance of sin and faith in Jesus Christ results in regeneration by the Holy Spirit. Matthew 28:18-20; Luke 24:46-47; John 14:6; Acts 1:8, 4:12; Romans 3:23, 10:9-15; 2 Corinthians 5:10-11; Ephesians 1:7 and 2:8-9; Titus 3:4-7; 1 Peter 3:15.

THE CHURCH

We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ and that all true believers are members of His body, the Church.  1 Corinthians 12:12-13; Ephesians 1:22-23, 2:19-22, 4:15-16.

PRAYER

We believe that we must dedicate ourselves to prayer, to the service of our Lord, to His authority over our lives, and to the ministry of evangelism. Matthew 9:35-38, 22:37-39, and 28:18-20; Acts 1:8; Romans 10:9-15 and 12:20-21; Galatians 6:10; Colossians 2:6-10; 1 Peter 3:15.

CHRIST’S SECOND COMING

We believe in the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, which is His personal, visible return to earth; the establishment of His millennial kingdom; and the final judgment. Matthew 16:27; Acts 1:11; Revelation 19:11-16, 20: 11-15.
