Statement of Faith
These are the tenants of our faith as revealed by the Holy Bible.
- We believe that the Holy Bible is the inspired, infallible, and authoritative source of Christian doctrine and precept.
-
We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
-
We believe that man was created in the image of God, but as a result of sin is lost and powerless to save himself.
-
We believe that the only hope for man is to believe on Jesus Christ, the virgin-born Son of God, who died to take upon Himself the punishment for the sin of mankind and who rose from the dead so that by receiving Him as Lord, man is redeemed by His blood.
-
We believe that Jesus Christ in person will return to earth in power and glory.
-
We believe that the Holy Spirit indwells those who have received Christ for the purpose of enabling them to live righteous and godly lives.
-
We believe that the church is the body of Christ and is composed of all those who through belief in Christ have been spiritually regenerated by the indwelling Holy Spirit. The mission of the church is worldwide evangelization on the one hand and the nurture and discipline of Christians on the other.
Also, as part of our doctrine, we include the Apostle’s Creed:
We believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.
We believe in Jesus Christ, God’s only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried;
he descended to the dead.
On the third day he rose again;
he ascended into heaven,
he is seated at the right hand of the Father,
and he will come again to judge the living and the dead.
We believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting.
