Statement of faith.
God.
WE BELIEVE there is one living and true God, eternally existing in three persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, equal in power and glory; that this triune God created all, upholds all, and governs all.
father.
WE BELIEVE in God the Father, perfect in grace, holiness, wisdom, power, and love; that He hears and answers prayer from His throne in Heaven; and that He pardons sin of and grants eternal life to all who come to Him through Jesus Christ.
church.
WE BELIEVE in the universal Church, the living spiritual body of which Christ is the Head and all born again persons are members.
return.
WE BELIEVE in the personal, visible return of Jesus Christ to Earth and the establishing of His kingdom, in the resurrection of the body, the final judgment and eternal blessing of the righteous and endless suffering of the wicked.
salvation.
WE BELIEVE that all people are sinners by nature and choice and, therefore, are under condemnation; that God regenerates by the Holy Spirit all those who repent of their sins and confess Jesus Christ as Lord; that Jesus Christ baptizes the seeking believer with the Holy Spirit and power for service.
jesus.
WE BELIEVE in Jesus Christ, God’s only begotten Son, conceived by the Holy Spirit. We believe in His virgin birth, sinless life, miracles, teachings, substitutionary atoning death, bodily resurrection, ascension into Heaven, perpetual intercession for His people.
join.
WE BELIEVE that the Lord Jesus Christ established two ordinances for the Church: baptism and the Lord’s Supper. We practice baptism by immersion and welcome all believers to join in communion.
creed.
WE BELIEVE in The Apostles Creed and The Nicene Creed, as embodying the fundamental facts of the Christian faith.
Bible.
WE BELIEVE the scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the Word of God, fully inspired without error in the original manuscripts, and the infallible rule of Christian faith and practice.
holy spirit.
WE BELIEVE in the Holy Spirit, who comes to convict the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment, and to regenerate, sanctify, and empower for ministry all who believe in Christ; we believe the Holy Spirit indwells every believer in Jesus Christ and that He is an abiding Helper, Teacher, and Guide. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit and in the exercise of all the Biblical gifts of the Spirit.
Commission.
WE BELIEVE also in the laying on of hands for baptism of the Holy Spirit, for ordination of Pastors, Elders, and Deacons, and when anointing the sick for healing.
