Faith Statement
We Believe…
That the Bible, both Old and New testaments, is inspired by God and the only authoritative Word of God; supreme and final in its authority in matters of faith and practice;
In the Triune God of the Bible revealed as One God in Three Persons- Father, Son and Holy Spirit;
In Jesus Christ’s deity, virgin birth, sinless humanity, substitutionary death, atoning Blood, bodily resurrection, ascension to heaven and the promise of His personal Return;
In the Holy Spirit as the Third Person of the Godhead, co-equal and Co-eternal with God the Father and God the Son; He convicts mankind of sin and repentance, brings about faith and the new birth, indwells the believer and enables us to live godly lives of faith and service;
That our Salvation was purchased by the Lord Jesus Christ’s atoning death and that pardon for sin and eternal life are ours as we repent and place our faith in Jesus Christ to justify and sanctify us;
That the Church is the Body of Christ and consists of all who have pledged their lives faithfully to Christ as Lord and Savior, regardless of denomination, race or social standing; we further hold that baptism and membership in the local church gives us opportunity to serve Christ most effectively and testifies publicly to our faith in the Savior;
That it is our God-given task to fulfill the Great Commission by bringing the Good News of Jesus Christ to all people and nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit and that we are to disciple them to obey all that Christ taught.
