Our Statement of Faith

1.     We believe that the Bible is the inspired, infallible and authoritative Word of God.  As such, we submit to it as the standard of our conduct.  1 Thessalonians 2:13; 2 Timothy 3:15-17

2.     We believe that there is one God eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.  Matthew 28:19; John 10:30; Ephesians 4:4-6

3.     We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles and in His vicarious death as the atonement through His shed blood for all sin.  We also believe in His bodily resurrection and ascension to the right hand of the Father and in His personal return in power and glory.  Matthew 1:23; John 1:1-4 and 1:29; Acts 1:11 and 2:22-24; Romans 8:34; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Philippians 2:5-11; Hebrews 1:1-4 and 4:15

4.     We believe that all men everywhere are lost and face the judgment of God, that Jesus Christ is the only way of salvation, and that for the salvation of lost and sinful man, repentance of sin and faith in Jesus Christ results in regeneration by the Holy Spirit.  Luke 24:46-47; John 14:6; Acts 4:12; Romans 3:23; 2 Corinthians 5:10-11; Ephesians 1:7 and 2:8-9; Titus 3:4-7

5.     We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, whose indwelling enables the Christian to live a godly life.  John 3:5-8; Acts 1:8 and 4:31; Romans 8:9; 1 Corinthians 2:14; Galatians 5:16-18; Ephesians 6:12; Colossians 2:6-10

6.     We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; the saved unto the resurrection of eternal life and the lost unto the resurrection of damnation and eternal punishment.  1 Corinthians 15:51-57; Revelation 20:11-15

7.     We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ and that all true believers are members of His body, the Church.  1 Corinthians 12:12, 27; Ephesians 1:22-23

8.     We believe that the ministry of evangelism and discipleship is a responsibility of all followers of Jesus Christ.  Mathew 28:18-20; Acts 1:8; Romans 10:9-15; 1 Peter 3:15

9.     We believe that we must dedicate ourselves to prayer, to the service of our Lord, to His authority over our lives, and to the ministry of evangelism.  Matthew 9:35-38; 22:37-39, and 28:18-20; Acts 1:8; Romans 10:9-15 and 12:20-21; Galatians 6:10; Colossians 2:6-10; 1 Peter 3:15
