STATEMENT OF FAITH
Holy Scriptures
We believe that the Holy Bible is fully inspired by God, with it being a divine revelation of God's will toward humanity. It is the ultimate source for all morality, guidance, and teaching and has the final say in all matters pertaining to life.
(2 Timothy 3:15-17, 2 Peter 1:21)
​
God
We believe that there is only one true God, Who is eternal, perfect, and immutable. He is the Creator of the universe; all things seen and unseen. He reveals Himself in three distinct Persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
(Genesis 1:1, Deuteronomy 6:4, Matthew 28:19, John 10:30)
Jesus Christ
We believe that Jesus Christ of Nazareth is the Son of God, the promised Messiah who was born of a virgin. We believe He lived a sinless life, is fully God and fully man, the One Who died on the cross for our sins, was buried, rose again from the dead on the third day for our justification, and believe in His second coming to the earth in power and glory.
(John 1:14,1 Tim. 3:16, 1 Tim. 2:5, Is. 9:6, Phil. 2:5-6)
Holy Spirit
We believe the Holy Spirit is God, who dwells in and produces the fruit of the Spirit in all born-again believers, and empowers them for service and witness to the world. We believe that the gifts of the Holy Spirit are active and necessary for the present time.
We believe that all believers need to be filled and empowered by the Holy Spirit to live a godly life and to be bold in our witness for the Lord. (Romans 8:13-14, 1 Corinthians 3:16, 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, Ephesians 4:30, Ephesians 5:18)
Salvation
We believe that the fall and sinful deeds of man, resulted in separation from God. Man's only hope for redemption from their sins is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ the Son of God, who took the punishment for our sins. We are saved by grace, through faith in Jesus Christ: His death, burial, and resurrection. Salvation is a gift from God, not a result of our human efforts.
(Matt. 26:26-29, 1 Cor. 10:16, 1 Cor. 11:23-25)
Water Baptism
We believe that all who repent and believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, are to be baptized, at a mature age, by means of full immersion into water, according to the commandment of Jesus Christ. Through water baptism, believers proclaim to the world their death to sin and resurrection with Christ to a new life for Him.
(Matt. 28:19, Acts 2:38, Mark 16:16, 1 Pet. 3:21, Col. 2:12)
Marriage
We believe the human race was created as male and female by a direct act of God in likeness of His image.
We believe marriage is a sacred covenantal, lifetime union, ordained by God, between a biological man and a biological woman that limits sexual relations to monogamous, heterosexual marriage.
(Genesis 1:26-28, 2:24, Matt. 19:4-6, 1 Cor. 6:9-10)
Church
We believe that the Church of Jesus Christ is the universal, spiritual body of believers from every nation, tribe, and tongue. It is ordained by Jesus Christ to fulfill the Great Commission, which is to spread the Gospel, the Good News of Salvation that is open to all who believe. Every Christian must belong to a local church for fellowship, service, accountability and spiritual growth.
(Matt. 16:18-19, Eph. 1:22, Eph. 2:19-22, Eph. 3:10, Rom. 12:4-5, Jam. 5:14-16, Heb. 10:25)
