Statement of Faith

1. The Scriptures – We believe that the Bible is the inspired, inerrant, infallible, and authoritative Word of God.
2. One True God – We believe that there is only one God, eternally existing in three Persons: Father, Son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit.
3. Deity of Jesus – We believe in the deity of Jesus, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His vicarious and atoning death, His bodily resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of the Father, His personal future return to earth in power and glory to rule over all nations.
4. State of Man – We believe that since the fall of Adam, all people are lost sinners and cannot see the Kingdom of God except through regeneration by the Holy Spirit through repentance and faith in the precious blood of Jesus.
5. Baptism in the Holy Spirit – We believe that the baptism in the Holy Spirit is available to all believers who seek it and that it was the normal experience of New Testament Christians and that it brings an enduement of power for Christian life and service. We believe that speaking in other tongues is a consistent scriptural evidence of this baptism.
6. Sanctification – We believe that God calls believers to a life of true holiness. i.e. a separation from that which is evil and dedication to God.
7. The Church – We believe that the Church is the body of Christ and is comprised of all born again believers regardless of denominational or local church affiliation.
8. Christ’s Commission – We believe that Christ has commissioned the Church to preach the gospel to all nations and to demonstrate this by service of compassion to the needs of people and by promoting righteousness and justice.
9. End Time Events – We believe in the second coming of Christ including the rapture of believers followed by the visible return of Christ with His saints. We also believe there will be a final judgment, with all people, dead or alive at the time, judged followed by “new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.”
