Statement of Faith

We believe in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments as inspired by God and inerrant in the original writings, and that they are of supreme and final authority in faith and life and that God created the heavens and the earth in 6 literal days. (2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:21, Gen 1:1-2:3)

We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. (Matthew 28:19; John 14:10, 13, 16, 17, 26; 2 Corinthians 13:14)

We believe that Jesus Christ was begotten by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, and is true God and true man. (Matthew 1:18, 23; Luke 1:35; John 17:11, 21)

We believe that man was created in the image of God; that he sinned and thereby incurred, not only physical death, but also spiritual death, which is separation from God; and that all human beings are born with a sinful nature; and, in the case of those who reach moral responsibility, become sinners in thought, word and deed. (Genesis 1:26-27, 2:7; Jeremiah 17:9; Ezekiel 18:4; Romans 3:23, 5:12; Ephesians 2:3)

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ 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 ground of His shed blood. (Isaiah 53:6; John 3:16; Romans 5:9, 12, 6:23; 1 Corinthians 15:3, 21; 1 Peter 2:24)

We believe in the resurrection of the crucified body of our Lord, in His ascension into Heaven, and in His present life for us there as High Priest and Advocate. (Luke 24:6; Acts 1:9; Hebrews 4:14, 10:12)

We believe that all who receive by faith the Lord Jesus Christ are born again of the Holy Spirit, and thereby become children of God. (John 1:12-13, 3:3; 1 Peter 1:23)

We believe that those who have been born again have everlasting life and will not come into condemnation, but are passed from death unto life; and that the Lord Jesus Christ gives them eternal life and they shall never perish, neither will any man pluck them out of God's hand. (John 5:24, 10:28-29)

We believe in "that blessed hope," the personal return of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. (John 14:3; Acts 1:11; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; Titus 2:13; Revelation 1:7)

We believe in the physical resurrection of the body. Unbelievers will be eternally separated from God's presence, but believers will live and reign with Him forever. (Matthew 25:46; John 3:36; 5:28-29; Revelation 20:12, 15)
