OUR STATEMENT OF FAITH

We believe the Holy Bible, both the Old and the New Testaments, is verbally inspired of God, inerrant in the original writings, and the supreme and final authority in the faith and life of every believer.

We believe in One God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

We believe God the Son took on human flesh, so that Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man.

We believe that man was created in the image of God; that he sinned, and thereby incurred, not only physical death, but also that spiritual death which is the separation from God; and that all human beings are born with a sinful nature.

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, and 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 basis of His shed blood.

We believe that only those who by faith receive the Lord Jesus Christ as Savior, are miraculously born again of the Holy Spirit, and thereby, without benefit of any human merit, religious rite or ceremony, partake of the Divine life and nature, and are sealed by the Holy Spirit forever.

We believe that at the time of the New Birth, the believer receives the Holy Spirit and by Him is baptized into the Body of Christ; is forever indwelt by the Holy Spirit as Guide and Comforter; and if yielded to Him is empowered for service. We believe in the Unity of the believers.

We believe in the Bodily Resurrection of our Crucified Lord, in His Bodily Ascension into Heaven, and in His present life there as High Priest and Advocate for us.

We believe in the personal, bodily return of our Lord Jesus Christ.

We believe in the bodily resurrection of both the Saved and the Lost; the everlasting blessedness of the saved, and the everlasting punishment of the lost.

We believe that Satan is a personal being; that he is the Enemy of God, the "Father of Lies," the Great deceiver of mankind and the Instigator of all false systems of religion, and that, with him, all persistent followers of such will find their end in the Lake of Fire.
