Statement of Faith
We believe that the Holy Scriptures are inspired by the Holy Spirit, infallible, and God’s revealed word to man. We believe in the inspiration of the Bible, equally in all parts and without error in its origin.We believe that Scripture teaches that there is only one true and living God who has chosen to reveal himself as Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit. We believe in the one God, eternally existent Father, Son and Holy Spirit, who created man by a direct immediate act.
We believe in the fall of man and that man is a sinful being in need of redemption.
We believe in the virgin birth of Jesus Christ, that He is the Son of God and the Son of Man, that He came to save men from the condemnation of sin by offering His blood as atonement, and by making it available to all who exercise faith in Him. We believe in the pre-existence, incarnation, virgin birth, sinless life, miracles, substitutionary death, bodily resurrection, ascension to heaven and second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ.
We believe that for salvation of list and sinful man, regeneration by the operation of the Holy Spirit on the basis of grace is absolutely essential.
We believe the Scriptures ascribe to the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a holy life. We believe in the spiritual relationship of all believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, living a life of righteous works, living separated from the world, witnessing of His grace through the ministry of the Holy Spirit.
We believe that Baptism in the Holy spirit, according to Act 2:4, is given to believers who ask for it.
We believe that the redemptive work of Christ on the cross provides healing to the human body in answer to believing prayer.
We believe that all mankind is subject to the death of the body as a result of original sin; the soul does not die, but immediately after death, enters into a conscious state of happiness or misery according to the character here possessed by acceptance or rejection of the Savior.
We believe in the bodily resurrection of both the saved and the lost, the saved to everlasting life and the lost without Christ to everlasting damnation.
We believe in the personal, imminent return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We believe the family is God’s foundational institution for human society.
We believe marriage has only one meaning: the uniting of one biological man and one biological woman in a single, exclusive union, as delineated in Scripture. We believe that God intends sexual intimacy to occur only within the confines of marriage, which is a covenant between one man, one woman, and God.
We believe biblical sexuality is expressly defined by God. Before birth, God wonderfully and immutably creates each person as male or female through genetic encoding and physiological manifestation. These two distinct complementary genders together reflect the image and nature of God. Rejection of one’s biological sex is a rejection of the image of God within that person.
