STATEMENT OF FAITH

In order to identify the church as conservative in theology, and evangelical in spirit, we set forth this general statement of fundamental beliefs, also known as our Statement of Faith: 

• We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God. (2 Peter 1:20-21 & 2 Timothy 3:16-17)

• We believe that there is only one God, eternally existent in three persons; Father, Son and Holy Spirit. (John 14:16-17, Matthew 28:19, & Deuteronomy 6:4)

• We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His substitution and his 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

• We believe that lost and sinful man must be saved, and that man’s only hope of redemption is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. (Romans 3:23 & 2 Peter 1:18-19)

• We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to lead a Godly life. • We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and unsaved: those that are saved unto the resurrection of life and those that are unsaved unto the resurrection of damnation. (Daniel 12:2)

• We believe in the spiritual unity of the believers in our Lord Jesus Christ. (I Corinthians 12:12-13)

• The Church will observe regularly the two New Testament ordinances of water baptism and the Lord’s Supper. These ordinances are observed in obedience to our Lord Jesus Christ, as acts of love and devotion, and are not to be considered necessary for our salvation.
