Our Beliefs

STATEMENT OF FAITH

We believe the Bible to be the inspired, only infallible,
authoritative Word of God.

We believe in one God, eternally existing in one essence, yet
three coequal persons in the Trinity: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, the only
begotten by God, conceived by the Holy Spirit, and born to the
Virgin Mary.

We believe in His sinless life, His miracles, and His vicarious
and atoning death upon the cross as a representative and

substitutionary sacrifice, and that all those who believe on Him
are justified through faith in His shed blood.

STATEMENT OF FAITH

We believe in His bodily resurrection, His ascension to the right
hand of the Father, and His present life there as High Priest and
Advocate for us, and in His personal, visible, and imminent return
in power and glory.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the third person of the Trinity,
who convicts the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment.

We believe in His present day ministry as the Paraclete
(advocate, comforter)whose indwelling presence, comforts,
guides, directs, and empowers the life of the believer.

We believe the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, according to Acts 2:4
is given to believers
who ask for it.

STATEMENT OF FAITH

We believe in the present and abiding presence of the Holy
Spirit manifest in this present age, bestowing in and among
believers these supernatural gifts: the word of wisdom; the word
of knowledge; faith; gifts of healing; working of miracles;
prophecy; discerning of spirits; various kinds of tongues;
interpretation of tongues; continuing until our Lord’s return.

We believe that mankind was created in the image of God,
however, through sin, incurred not only physical death but
spiritual death as well. It is this sin nature, resident in the hearts
of all mankind which now separates him from God, a nature
which can only be remedied through faith in the atoning work of
Jesus Christ our Lord.

We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful man,
regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential, thereby
becoming children of God and heirs of eternal life. This is not
accomplished through the merit of mankind’s good deeds, but

through repentance and by grace through faith in the shed blood
of Christ Jesus our Lord.

We believe in the bodily resurrection of both the saved and the
unsaved; they are saved unto the resurrection of eternal life in
heaven and they are lost unto the conscious resurrection of
eternal damnation in hell.

STATEMENT OF FAITH

We believe in the personal existence of the devil, who along
with his cohorts, is working in the earth to destroy the souls of
man and hinder the work of God, and that he and his angels,
along with those who do not receive Jesus Christ as their personal
Lord and Savior, will eternally perish in the lake of fire.

We believe that God created each person as male or female.
Those two distinct, complimentary genders together reflect the
image and nature of God. We believe that the term “marriage”
has only one meaning: the uniting of one man and one woman in
a single, exclusive union. Therefore, sexual intimacy was created
for that relationship alone.

We believe in the church of the living God, both local and
universal, with Christ as it’s head, to be the arbiter of truth and
proclamation through the Holy Scriptures, and whose mission is
to proclaim the Word of God in such a manner as to present
every man complete in Christ, being guided by the Holy Spirit
through gifted leaders, and the support of the wise stewardship of
the redeemed of God.

We believe that the ordinances of the Church, given by our
Lord, are Water Baptism by immersion and the Lord’s Table
(Communion).
