Statement of Faith
This church accepts the Bible as its Divinely inspired authority in all matters. The following is what we believe the Bible teaches regarding the Christian faith.
We believe the Bible to be the verbally inspired, the only infallible, authoritative inerrant Word of God. (11 Timothy 3:16; 11Peter 1:21)
We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. (Genesis1:1; JohiillO:30, 37, 38)
We believe in the virgin birth of the Lord Jesus Christ, conceived by the Holy Spirit, truly God and truly man. We believe in His miracles, in His substitutional and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.(Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:23; Luke 1:23;John 2:11, 11:25; Acts 1:11; Hebrews4:15, 9:12; Revelation 19:11-16)
We believe that man is sinful by nature and that by sinning he separated himself from God, that salvation is by grace alone, received only through faith in the Lord Jesus, that regeneration by the Holy Spirit is essential for salvation. (John 3:16-19, 5:24; Romans 3:19, 23;Ephesians 2:8-9; Titus 3:5,6)
We believe in the continuing ministry of the Holy Spirit who convicts the world of sin, righteousness and judgment, and by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a Godly life. (John16:8; 1 Corinthians 3:16, 6:19-20;Ephesians 5:18)
We believe in the bodily resurrection of both the saved and the lost; those who are saved to eternal life and those who are lost to eternal damnation. (John 5:28-29)
We believe that the life of a believer in Jesus Christ is to be by faith, trusting the Lord for all things; that we are called to a Spirit filled life, and that we are to be separated from all worldly and sinful practices. We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ. (Romans 8:9; 1Corinthians 12:12-13; Galatians 3:26-28)
