Our Statement of Faith:
We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God. II Timothy 3:15-17.
We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Matthew 28:19; Ephesians 4:4-6.
We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus 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 return in power and glory. John 1:1-4; Matthew 1:23; Philippians 2:5-11; Hebrews 1:1-4 & 4:15; Acts 1:11 & 2:22-24; I Corinthians 15:3-4.
We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful humanity, repentance of sin and faith in Jesus Christ results in regeneration by the Holy Spirit. Regeneration by the Holy Spirit is essential. The word “repentance” in the New Testament usually translated “repent” is the Greek word “metanoeo,” and the word translated “repentance” is “metanoia.” Both of these Greek words have the same basic meaning: “to change your mind; reconsider; or, to think differently.” As the Lord leads us to be able to “think differently” about sin and God’s holiness and salvation, this should result in a “willingness” to turn from sin and turn to God by “faith” in Jesus Christ and His finished work on the cross alone that accomplished our redemption. Salvation is an unearned gift of God’s grace, not a result of a one’s works. This is the only way to come into a relationship with God. Titus 3:4-7; Luke 24:46-47;Ephesians 2:8-9; John 14:6; Acts 4:12; 2 Peter 3:9.
We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life. John 14:15-17; Romans 8:9; 1 Corinthians 3:16; Galatians 5:16-18.
We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost: they that are saved unto the resurrection of life, and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation and eternal punishment. Revelation 20:11-15; I Corinthians 15:51-57.
We believe in the spiritual unity of the Church, which is the Body of Christ, composed of all who are regenerated through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Ephesians 1:22-23; I Corinthians 12:12, 27.
We believe the ministry of evangelism is a responsibility of both the Church and each Christian. Matthew 28:18-20; Mark 16:15; Acts 1:8;Romans 10:9-15; I Peter 3:15.
