Our Statement of Faith
We believe in the one true God, creator and Lord of the Universe.
We believe in the Holy Trinity: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and that the Holy Spirit born
of the Virgin Mary conceived Jesus Christ. Lived a sinless life, died an atoning
death on the cross, rose bodily from the dead and ascended to heaven. He is the
only and true mediator between God and man.
We believe that the Bible is God's authoritative and inspired word. It is without
error in all it's teaching, including creation, history, its own origins, and
Salvation. Christians must submit to its divine authority both individually and
corporately, in all matters of belief and conduct demonstrated by righteous living.
We believe that all people are lost sinners and cannot see the kingdom of God
except through the new birth. Justification is by grace through faith in Jesus
Christ alone.
We believe in one Holy, universal Church. Its calling is to worship and serve
God whole heartily. Evangelize the preaching of the gospel of Jesus Christ among
all nations and demonstrated its commitment by compassionate service to the needs
of human beings and promoting righteousness and upholding justice.
We believe in the necessity of the work of the Holy Spirit of the individual's
new birth and growth to maturity, and for the Church's constant renewal in Truth,
Wisdom, Faith, Holiness, Love, Power, Service, and Mission.
We believe that Jesus Christ will personally and visibly return in glory to
raise the dead and bring Salvation and judgment to completion. God will fully
manifest his kingdom when he establishes a new heaven and new earth, in which
he will be glorified forever and exclude all evil, pain, suffering, and death.
