Statement of Faith

“….nevertheless I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep what I have committed to Him until that Day.”

2 Timothy 1: 12b

We believe the Bible (the sixty-six books of the Old and New Testament Scripture) is the Word of God and that the original manuscripts are inerrant. The Bible alone is the final authority in faith and life for all mankind.

We believe there is only one true and living God. The eternal, self-existent God reveals Himself to us as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, with distinct personal attributes, but without division of nature, essence, or being.

We believe Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of God, is the Word (God) who became a man, was conceived by the Holy Spirit, was born of the virgin Mary, and is both God and man having two natures co-joined in one Person.

We believe Jesus Christ led a sinless life, bore the sins of all mankind in His body on the cross, and died in our place receiving the punishment that was due us and now He offers salvation as a free gift to all mankind.

We believe that Jesus Christ rose bodily from the dead, ascended bodily into heaven, and sits at the right hand of God the Father as our High Priest, Intercessor, and Advocate. In turn, believers in Jesus Christ will also be raised bodily from the dead to spend eternity with God.

We believe that the Holy Spirit convicts men of sin, calls men to salvation in Jesus Christ, regenerates, sanctifies, bestows spiritual gifts and empowers believers to live Godly lives.

We believe that in Adam, man was originally created in the image of God and after His likeness and that man fell through sin. Through the fall of Adam, all of mankind is now corrupt because of sin and estranged from God. We believe that man is unable to restore his relationship with God without God’s help.

We believe that the Father saves mankind from sin, His wrath, death, and hell when a person is drawn to true repentance of their sin; receives, believes, and confesses the Lord Jesus Christ as Savior; is regenerated and renewed by the Holy Spirit based on grace alone, through faith alone to become a new creature who is a child and heir of God with eternal life.
