About
Us > Statement of Faith
We subscribe to the following beliefs:
1. We believe in one eternal God, manifest in three
distinct Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. (John
1:1-3, 18; 15:26; 17:11, 21)
2. We believe all things were created and continue to
be sustained by God. (Gen. 1; John 1:1-3; Col. 1:16-17;
Heb. 1:3)
3. We believe the Bible, in its entirety, to be the
inspired Word of God and the only infallible rule of
faith and conduct. (II Tim. 3:15-17; Heb. 4:12;
II Pet. 1:20-21)
4. We believe the coequal, coexistent and coeternal
Son of God, our Lord Jesus Christ, was conceived of
the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, was crucified,
dead, buried, resurrected; that He ascended into Heaven
and is now seated at the right hand of God, the Father,
and is true God and true man. He is the only mediator
between God and man, and He accomplished man's redemption
through His sacrificial death on the cross. (Luke
1:30-35; I Cor. 15:3-5; Acts 1:9-11; John 3:16; I Pet.
1:3-5,8,9; Rom. 5:8-10)
5. We believe the Holy Spirit, the third Person of the
Trinity, possesses all the divine attributes of the
Father and Son. He baptizes all believers into Christ's
body, the church, at the moment of conversion. The Holy
Spirit indwells, instructs and empowers all believers,
giving various gifts for the purpose of equipping the
saints and building up the body of Christ. (Luke
12:12; Acts 2:33, 38-39; I Cor. 12:4-31; Col. 1:18;
Eph. 2:19-22; 4:11-12; Gal. 5:18-25)
6. We believe in the resurrection of the dead, the eternal
joy of those who know and trust Christ, and the eternal
punishment of those who don’t. We believe that
the free gift of eternal life is bestowed on every repentant
person who trusts in the finished work of Christ on
the cross for the forgiveness of sins. (John 3:14-18;
I Cor. 15:20-22; II Cor. 5:10, 14,15; I Thess. 4:13-15)
7. We believe in the visible, bodily second-coming of
our Lord Jesus Christ. (Acts 1:9-11; I Thess. 4:13-17)
