Statement of Faith
 

1.  We believe there is one God, eternally existent in three persons—Father, Son and Holy Spirit
(Genesis 1:1; Matthew 28:19; John 10:30).

2.  We believe the Bible is the inspired, authoritative, infallible, inerrant Word of God
(2 Timothy  3:15-16; 2 Peter 1:21).

3.  We believe in the deity of Christ (John 10:33),
            His virgin birth (Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:23; Luke 1:35),
            His sinless life (Hebrews 4:15; Hebrews 7:26),
            His miracles (John 2:11),
            His substitutionary, atoning death (1 Corinthians 15:3; Ephesians 1:7;Hebrews 2:9),
            His resurrection (John 11:25; 1 Corinthians 15:4),
            His ascension to the Father (Mark 16:19),
            His personal return in power and glory (Acts 1:11; Revelation 19:11).

4.  We believe in the absolute necessity of regeneration by the Holy Spirit for salvation because of the
exceeding sinfulness of human nature; and we believe that we are justified on the single ground of faith
in the shed blood of Christ; and that only by God’s grace and through faith alone we are saved
(John 3:16–19; John 5:24; Romans 3:23; 5:8–9; Ephesians 2:8–10; Titus 3:5).

5.  We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live
a godly life (Romans 8:13–14; 1 Corinthians 3:16; 6:19–20; Ephesians 4:30; 5:18).

6.  We believe in the spiritual unity of believers as members of the body of Christ
(Romans 8:9; 1 Corinthians 12:12–13; Galatians 3:26–28).

7.  We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost—the saved to everlasting life in God’s
presence, and the lost to eternal punishment in hell (John 5:28–29).
