Faith Statement

  • All Scripture is given by inspiration of God. (II Tim 3:16; II Peter 1:21) Scripture is inerrant, complete and the only infallible authoritative Word of God.
  • The Godhead eternal exists in three persons -- Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and these three are one God. (John 1:1-14; Matt 28:19-20; Deut 6:4)
  • Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is God, took up on Himself humanity being conceived by the Holy Ghost and born of the virgin Mary. His life was sinless, His miracles literal. His death was a vicarious and atoning death. He rose from the dead on the third day, ascended into heaven and is now interceding as our High Priest and will personally come and visibly set up His millennial kingdom. (Col 1:15; Phil 2:5-8; I Peter 2:24-25)
  • The Holy Spirit indwells the believer at the moment of salvation and is the comforter and helper as well as the convictor of sin. We believe that God, in grace, gives gifts to every believer for use in the ministry to which He calls us. (John 7:38-39; John 14:16; John 17:15)
  • Man was created innocent and fell in the Garden of Eden, therefore natural man is spiritually dead. Man can be saved by God's grace only by believing that Jesus Christ was the only sacrifice for our sins. Man is saved by faith alone, not by any works, for our redemption is accomplished solely through Christ's work which never fails, not man's work, and is sealed by the Holy Spirit. (John 5:24; Romans 5:1; 8:28-38; Eph 1:13; Phil 1:6)
  • A Christian life is to be separated from the world, "walking after the Spirit, not after the flesh." (Romans 8:12-13, 13:14; Gal 5:16-25; Col 3:1-10; II Cor 7:1)
  • We believe in the pre-millennial rapture (imminent return of Christ), tribulation (seven years - Israel's 70th week), and the return of Christ to reign 1,000 years with the saints (Millennium), after which the eternal state will be unfolded. (John 14:3)
