Statement of Faith
We Believe....
- the Bible to be the inspired, only infallible, authoritative, inerrant Word of
God (2 Timothy 3:15; 2 Peter 1:21)
- there is one God, eternally existent in three persons-Father, Son, and Holy
Spirit (Genesis 1:1; Matthew 28:19, John 10:30)
- in the deity of Christ (John 13:33), in His virgin birth (Isaiah 7:14), in His
sinless life ( Hebrews 4:15; 7:26), in His miracles (John 2:11), in His vicarious and
atoning death (1 Corinthians 15:3; Ephesians 1:7; Hebrews 2:9) in His bodily resurrection
(John 11:25), 1 Corinthians 14:4), in His ascension to the right hand of the Father (Mark
16:19), in His future return in power and glory (Acts 1:11; Revelation 19:11).
- in the absolute necessity of regeneration by the Holy Spirit for salvation
because of the exceeding sinfulness of human nature and that men are justified on the
single ground of faith in the shed blood of Christ and that only by God's grace and
through faith are we saved. (John 3:16-21; John 5:24, Romans 3:23; 5:8-9, Ephesians
2:8-10; Titus 3:5).
- in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the
resurrection of life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation (John
5:28-29).
- in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 8:9, 1
Corinthians 12:12-13; Galatians 3:20-28).
- in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is
enabled to live a Godly life (Romans 8:13-14; 1 Corinthians 3:16, 6:19-20; Ephesians 4:30,
5:18)
