Our Statement of Faith The Scriptures Inspired We believe the Bible to be the only inspired infallible Word of God. One True Godhead We believe the Godhead consists of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Three in One and One in Three. John 1:1-3 Deity of Jesus Christ We believe in the Deity of Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His atoning death, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father. We acknowledge the Lordship of Jesus Christ over all things in heaven and on earth and under the earth. 1 Tim 3:16, Phil 2:9-10, Col 1:15-20 Man, His Fall and Resurrection Man was created good and upright, for God said, "Let us make man in Our image, after Our likeness". But, man, by voluntary transgression, fell and his only hope of redemption is in Jesus Christ the Son of God. Gen 1 :26-31, Gen 2:17, Gen 3:1-7, Rom 5:12-21 The Salvation of Man We believe in salvation through the redeeming blood of Christ by repentance toward God, faith in Jesus Christ, and confession of His Lordship and in the keeping power of God. Baptism In Water We believe in water baptism by immersion for those who have repented and believed - signifying the burying of the sin nature, which results in cutting off (heart circumcision) the slave relationship of sin. Sanctification and Holiness We believe in sanctification and holiness of heart and the overcoming life as scriptural requirements for the Bride of Christ. The Promise of the Father We believe the Baptism and Fullness of the Holy Spirit is available to every believer. Along with this, is the openness to all of the gifts laid out in 1Cor 12:8-11, and growing in the fruit of the Spirit. Power To Minister In Jesus' Name Evangelism, Missions, Discipleship We believe in missionary outreach, evangelism and discipleship. The Church We believe the true church is one body of many members consisting of "born again" Christians regardless of church affiliation and that we, as individuals, become members of the Body through the power of the Spirit; and so we have fellowship one with another. The Lord's Supper We believe in the practice of observing the Lord's Supper regularly as enjoined in the Scriptures. Tithing We believe in tithing as taught in the Scriptures. Christ's Return Resurrection and Eternal Judgment We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost. They that are saved unto the resurrection of eternal life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of eternal punishment.
