statement of faith

We believe in one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (John 14:16 -17; Matthew 28:19). We believe Jesus was begotten by the Holy Spirit, born of a virgin, and is true God and true man (Matthew 1:18 -23).

We believe in the Old and New Testament Scriptures as inspired by God and inerrant in the original writings, and they are of supreme and final authority in faith and life (2 Peter 1:20-21; 2 Timothy 3:16-17).

We believe that we were created in the image of God; that we sinned, and thereby incurred, not only the physical death, but also spiritual death, which is separation from God; and that all human beings are born in sin (Genesis 1:27; Romans 5:12; Isaiah 59:2-4; Romans 6:23).

We believe the Lord Jesus died for our sins, according to the Scriptures, as a representative and substitutionary sacrifice, and that all who believe in Him are justified on the grounds of His shed Blood (Romans 5:8-9).

We believe all who receive by faith the Lord Jesus Christ are born again of the Holy Spirit and thereby become children of God (John 1:12; Romans 8:9).

We believe in the bodily resurrection of Christ and His ascension to heaven and in His present work as High Priest and Advocate (I Corinthians 15:3-4; Hebrews 4:14 -16).

We believe in the personal return of Jesus Christ (Acts 1:11; I Thessalonians 4:16-17).

We believe in the bodily resurrection of the just to everlasting blessedness, and the unjust to everlasting punishment (Acts 24:15; Revelation 20:15 ; Romans 6:23 ).
