Statement of Faith
We believe... that the Scriptures of
the Old and New Testament are verbally inspired of God and they are without
error in the original writings, and they are the supreme and final authority for
faith and life.
We believe... in one God, Creator
and Sustainer of the universe, Who is eternally existent in three persons -
Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
We believe... in the Deity of Jesus
Christ, His virgin birth, sinless life, His death to pay the penalty for our
sins, His bodily resurrection, His exaltation at God's right hand, and His
personal, imminent return .
We believe... that all men have
sinned and are therefore guilty before God and are under His condemnation.
We believe... that all who by faith
receive Jesus Christ, are born again of the Holy Spirit, therefore children of
God and eternally saved, and that the Holy Spirit dwells within every believer
to enlighten, guide, and enable him to life, testimony and service.
We believe... that God gives
spiritual gifts to all believers for the building up of the body of Christ.
However, we believe that some gifts of the Spirit such as tongues and healings
were evidently limited to the early church. We believe that God answers the
prayers of His people and meets their needs according to His purpose.
We believe... in the bodily
resurrection of the just and unjust, the everlasting blessedness of the saved in
Glory and the everlasting conscious punishment of the lost in Hell.
We believe... all believers are
called into a life of separation from all worldly and sinful practices and
alliances. Therefore, we must strive to follow all of God's commands and strive for perfection. We do this because we love Him. And we love Him because He first loved us.
