Statement of Faith


We believe in

One God, revealed to us in three persons:

  • The Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth,
  • Jesus Christ, His only Son,
  • and the Holy Spirit, God’s presence on the Earth.

 

Jesus, the only Redeemer and Lord:

  • He was conceived and born of a virgin;
  • In his flesh, both fully human and fully divine.
  • He showed us the will and nature of God while here on Earth.
  • He was broken so we could be whole.
  • He was crucified and buried to pay the penalty for our sin.
  • He was raised bodily from the dead on the third day and broke the power of Death.
  • He ascended into heaven to sit at the right hand of the Father; Lord of all.
  • He will return again to judge the living and the dead.

 

The Holy Spirit, our present helper:

  • The Spirit draws all of us toward Jesus.
  • The Spirit seals those who follow Jesus to indwell, teach, and empower their lives.
  • The Spirit empowered the Apostles with signs and wonders,
  • The Spirit established the Church, and
  • The Spirit works in the lives of believers today in the same manner.

 

The Bible, God’s written word:

  • The Bible is infallibly true as originally inspired.
  • Scripture is the divinely authorized rule of faith and practice.

 

The fall of Mankind:

  • Mankind, while created perfect by God, willfully chose to rebel.
  • Rebellion created a separation with God called sin.
  • Sin brought death and we now live in a broken world.

The forgiveness of sin:

  • All have sinned and come short of the glory of God.
  • Forgiveness is not earned but is the result of faith in Jesus.
  • The blood of Jesus atones for all sins, for all people, for all time but repentance is the responsibility of each individual person.
  • Through forgiveness we are “Born Again”, with a new nature, in right standing with God.

 

In seeking more of God on Earth:

  • Growth in God comes through faith, Bible study, and by the Holy Spirit.
  • The Holy Spirit will give empowering gifts to those who ask.
  • Holiness to be God’s standard of living for His people.

 

One, eternal Judgement:

  • Each person will only die once and then will face judgement for their deeds done here on Earth.
  • Those who accepted and submitted their life to Jesus will be raised up to live with Him forever.
  • Those who embrace evil will be condemned to follow their master into Hell.

 

Life everlasting in the presence of God.
