Statement of Faith

We believe the Scriptures, both Old and New Testaments

to be the inspired Word of God, without error in the original writings, the complete revelation of His will for the salvation of men, and the Divine andfinal authority for all Christian faith and life. There is only one God, Creator of all things, infinitely perfect and eternally existing in three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. In the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His teaching, 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.

That the ministry of the Holy Spirit is to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ, and during this age to convict lost men; regenerate and indwell the believing sinner at the point of salvation; guide, instruct and empower the believer for godly living and service. That man was created in the image of God but fell into sin and is therefore lost; only through regeneration by the Holy Spirit can salvation and spiritual life be obtained.

This salvation is received only through faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and not as a result of ones own works.That the true Church is composed of all such persons who through saving faith in Jesus Christ have been regenerated by the Holy Spirit and are united together in the body of Christ of which He is the Head. This unity is to be expressed in our worship, fellowship and ministry. In the bodily resurrection of the dead: of the believer to everlasting life, of the unbeliever to judgment and everlasting conscious punishment.
