What We Believe

Our Statement of Faith:

1. We believe the Bible to be the inspired and only infallible, authoritative Word of God.

2. We believe in the triune Godhead as eternally existant in three persons: the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

3. We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious death and atonement through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His present priestly ministry.

4. We believe in evangelistic and missionary fervor and endeavor.

5. We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful man regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential. We further believe in the keeping power of God.

6. We believe that sanctification, holiness, and the overcoming life is God’s design for the Church, which is the Bride of Christ.

7. We believe that baptism is for believers in the Lord Jesus Christ and is to be administered by immersion, thus bearing witness to the gospel of Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection for us, and our own new life in Him.

8. We believe that Communion, when shared by believers, witnesses to the saving power of the Gospel, to Christ’s presence in His church, and looks toward His victorious return.

9. We believe in the Baptism in the Holy Spirit as on the day of Pentecost and in the continuing ministry of the Holy Spirit as evidenced in the charismatic gifts and ministries, and in the fruit of the Holy Spirit in the life of the believer.

10. We believe that divine healing is obtained on the basis of the Atonement.

11. We believe in Christ’s imminent personal return in power and great glory, and in His present and everlasting dominion.

12. We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost: they that are saved unto the resurrection of eternal life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of eternal punishment.
