Statement of Faith: We believe...
1. That the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the verbally
inspired and inerrant Word of God, and that they are the final authority
in faith and conduct.
2. In one God, the Creator of all things and man; eternally existing
in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
3. In the deity of Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless
life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through
His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to
the right hand of the Father, and in His personal, imminent return.
4. That man was created in the image of God, that he sinned and
thereby brought upon himself not only physical death, but also spiritual
death which is separation from God: and that all human beings are
born with a sinful nature, and in the case of those who reach the
age of moral responsibility, are sinners before God in thought,
word, and deed.
5. That for the salvation of lost and sinful man regeneration by
the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential.
6. That all who by grace through faith receive the Lord Jesus Christ
as Savior, are born again of the Holy Spirit; and thereby become
children of God.
7. In the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling
and empowering, the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.
8. In the bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust, the everlasting
blessedness of the saved, and the everlasting punishment of the
lost.
