Statement of Faith

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

We believe in the one true God, the sovereign and eternal Creator of all that exists, both seen and unseen.

We believe God is eternally existent in three persons, yet one God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, His sinless life, and His miracles. We confess the atoning death of Jesus through His shed blood, His bodily resurrection, and His ascension to the right hand of the Father. We are assured of His personal return in power and glory.

We believe that God created mankind in His image. When the first human beings, Adam and Eve, chose to rebel against God and go their own way, all of mankind became separated from God. This resulted in a distorted image of God in man, and mankind became subject to the power of the devil and their own sinful nature. This fallen condition has been passed on to all generations. Because of original sin, unregenerate human beings are incapable of pleasing or commending themselves to God. The only hope for mankind’s sorrowful condition is redemption through faith in Jesus Christ.

We believe that when a person receives the Gospel through the work of the Holy Spirit and places their faith in Christ, they pass instantaneously from spiritual death to spiritual life, and from the old creation to the new. Justified freely by grace, they are accepted before the Father and loved as Christ is loved. Their place and portion are joined to Christ, and they are one with Him, always.

We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a Christlike life.

We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost—those who are saved to the resurrection of life, and those who are lost to the resurrection of damnation.

We believe in the spiritual unity of all believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.
