STATEMENT OF FAITH

WE BELIEVE the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God.

WE BELIEVE that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

WE BELIEVE in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, in His present rule as Head of the Church and in His personal return in power and glory to rule a thousand years.

WE BELIEVE that, for the salvation of lost and sinful men, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential and that Jesus Christ is the only way to personal salvation.

WE BELIEVE in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a holy life.

WE BELIEVE in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost, the one to everlasting life and the other to everlasting damnation.

WE BELIEVE in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ, with equality across racial, gender, and class differences.

WE BELIEVE that all Christians have direct access to God and the power of prayer to affect and change lives.

WE BELIEVE God wonderfully and immutably created each person as male or female and instituted marriage between male and female as the foundation of the family, the basic structure of human society.

WE BELIEVE that human life is sacred from conception to its natural end and we must be concerned for the physical and spiritual needs of our fellowmen and fatherless.
