Statement of Faith

We believe all Scripture, both Old and New Testaments, is the Word of God, verbally inspired by the Holy Spirit and therefore is infallible and inerrant. 

There is one living and true God who exists in three persons – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

The Father is God (I Corinthians 8:6), the Son is God (Isaiah 9:6, John 1:1, John 1:14) and the Holy Spirit is God (Acts 5:3-4).

We believe in The Holy Spirit, who is the third Person of the Trinity.  He convicts the world concerning sin, righteousness, and judgment. He indwells, seals, and anoints all who become children of God through Christ. All children of God are baptized in the Holy Spirit at salvation. He further empowers, guides, teaches, sanctifies and fills believers who daily surrender to Him. (2 Corinthians 13:14; John 14:16-17; Romans 8:14-27)

The Lord Jesus Christ became man through the Virgin Birth.  As a man He was tempted in all points as we are, yet without sin.  He, as the perfect Lamb of God, gave Himself in death upon the cross, becoming the sin of the world, and suffering its full penalty of divine wrath in our stead.  He arose bodily from the grave and was glorified and as our great High Priest He ascended into Heaven, to be our Advocate and Intercessor.

All men inherit a depraved nature and are lost sinners in need of salvation.  Man is separated from God, under the righteous judgment and wrath of God, and has within himself no possible means of salvation.

(Romans 3:9-19, Ephesians 2:1-3)

God the Father has provided salvation through offering His Son on the cross of Calvary and allowing His blood to be shed to atone for our sins.

We are saved and justified when we recognize ourselves as sinners and put our trust and faith in Christ as the Son of God and His finished work on the cross of Calvary. Salvation is by grace through faith alone, not merited by any work of man but received only by personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.  

Once saved we cannot be lost; we are eternally secure in Christ.

This statement of faith does not exhaust the extent of our beliefs. The Bible itself, as the inspired and infallible Word of God that speaks with final authority concerning truth, morality, and the proper conduct of mankind, is the sole and final source of all that we believe.
