Statement of Faith

We believe that the Bible is God inspired (2 Timothy 3:16, 17)

​

We believe that God is three in one: Father, Son and Holy Spirit (2 Corinthians 13:14)

 

We believe that man is created in the image of God but that by voluntary disobedience fell from perfection, thereby imputing sinfulness to all human beings (Romans 5:12)

​

We believe that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us, signing the pardon for all who believe in Him (John 3:16; Romans 5:8)

​

We believe that we receive salvation when we come to God through faith in the atoning work of Jesus on the cross; salvation is God’s gift to us (Ephesians 2:8)

​

We believe that, upon sincere repentance and a whole-hearted acceptance of Christ, we are justified before God (Romans 10:8-10; 1 John 1:9)

​

We believe that a very real change takes place in people who accept Christ as Savior; believers allow Christ’s life to be lived through them (2 Corinthians 5:17; Galatians 2:20)

​

We believe that it is the will of God for believers to walk in progressive sanctification, growing continuously in the faith (Hebrews 6:1)

​

We believe that baptism by immersion is an outward sign of an inward work (Matthew 28:19; Romans 6:4).

 

We believe in the commemoration of the Lord’s Supper by the symbolical use of bread and the fruit of the vine (1 Corinthians 11:24, 25)

​

We believe that the baptism with the Holy Spirit empowers believers, and that the Holy Spirit’s incoming follows the same pattern that is described in the New Testament (Acts 2:4)

​

We believe that it is the will of God that we daily walk in the power of the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 4:30-32)

​

We believe that the Holy Spirit has gifts to bestow upon Christians (1 Corinthians 12:1-11), and that we should show spiritual fruit as evidence of a Spirit-filled life (Galatians 5:22-25)

​

We believe that divine healing is the power of Christ to heal the sick in answer to the prayer of faith (James 5:14-16)

 

We believe in the Rapture of the church and the second coming of Christ (1 Thessalonians 4:16, 17; Titus 2:11-13). 

 

We believe that followers of Christ have a sacred duty to identify with the visible church of Jesus Christ and should meet regularly with fellow believers (Hebrews 10:24, 25)

​

We believe that laws and ordinances come from God’s ultimate authority and should be upheld, except when they are in opposition to the revealed will of God (Romans 13:1-5)

​

We believe every person will one day stand before the judgment seat of Christ or the White Throne Judgement to receive eternal life or death (Revelation 20:11-15; Hebrews 9:27; 2 Corinthians 5:10)

​

We believe that heaven is the glorious eternal home of born-again believers (John 14:1-3; Revelation 7:15-17)

 

We believe that hell is the place of eternal torment for all who reject Christ as Savior (Revelation 10:10-15)

​

We believe that the church’s primary responsibility is taking the gospel to the entire world and making disciples (Mark 16:15; Matthew 28:19-20)

​

We believe the method ordained of God for the support and spread of His cause is giving tithes and offerings (Malachi 3:10; 2 Corinthians 9:7)
