Statement of Faith

I believe the Bible, both Old and New Testaments, is divine revelation and the inspired Word of God inerrant in the original manuscripts.  Its teaching is the final authority for all Christians.

I believe in the unity of the Godhead, eternally existing in three Persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and yet identical in nature; all-powerful, all-knowing, everywhere present and unchangeable; infinitely perfect in love, truth, righteousness, justice, goodness, grace and mercy.

I believe Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is both fully God and fully man.

I believe Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. 

I believe Jesus performed miracles to manifest His deity, lived a sinless life, suffered, and died as a completely satisfactory sacrifice for the sins of the whole world. 

I believe Jesus arose from the dead on the third day and His bodily resurrection guarantees the resurrection of all who believe in Him. 

I believe Jesus ascended to the right hand of God the Father where He reigns over the universe and intercedes for believers, and will return to earth to establish His kingdom.

I believe man was created in the image of God but fell into disobedience by a voluntary decision and, as a result, became separated from God and therefore spiritually dead and subject to physical death. 

I believe this fallen nature was transmitted to all humanity, except Jesus Christ, who lived a sinless life. 

I believe the blood of Jesus Christ was shed for our redemption.  Only those who receive Jesus Christ by faith are forgiven, born of the Holy Spirit, and thus become children of God.  Faith alone is the condition of salvation, but good works and righteous living should accompany such faith and furnish evidence of its existence.

I believe the Holy Spirit indwells every believer at the moment of saving faith.  The ministry of the Holy Spirit is to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ and during this age, to convince men of sin, regenerate the believing sinner, and indwell, guide, instruct, and empower the believer for godly living and service. 

I believe all Christian should witness for Christ in His power and study the Bible with His help.
