This is our Statement of Faith
We hold that the Bible, the Holy Word of a Holy
God,was not only free from error in the originals
(which have been lost for centuries) but also we
believe God in His Singular providential care has
KEPT HIS WORD all through the ages, right down to
the present day.
We consider it to be our final and absolute
authority, above and beyond all other authorities on
earth. God is one, eternally existing in three
persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, who are
infinite in glory, wisdom, holiness, justice, power
and love. Jesus Christ is true man and God, who in
His incarnation was conceived of the Holy Spirit and
born of the virgin, Mary. In His earthly ministry He
lived a sinless life, performed miracles, and died
on the cross as a sacrifice for our sins according
to the Scriptures. By the power of God, He was
raised from the dead in the same body now glorified.
He ascended into Heaven where, at the right hand of
God, He continually makes intercession for us.
The Holy Spirit is co-equal with the Father and the
Son; regenerates the believing sinner; indwells,
guides, instructs and empowers the believer for
Godly living and service; comforts the children of
God. The Holy Spirit guides and gives power to the
church, the body of Christ, to fulfill the Great
Commission, and convicts the world of sin,
righteousness, and judgment.
Man was created in the image and likeness of God;
but through the sin of Adam, man fell into sin and
is, therefore, lost apart from Christ. Except a man
be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
Salvation is the gift of God and includes the
forgiveness of sins, the imputation of the
Righteousness of Jesus Christ, and the gift of
eternal life. Union with the triune God provides all
blessings in this life and the life hereafter.
Salvation is received by faith alone, apart from all
good works and merit.
The church is composed of all those regenerated by
the Spirit of God by whom they have been baptized
into one body of whom Christ is the head. The
purpose of the church is to witness concerning Jesus
Christ according to the Scriptures, and to preach
the Gospel among all nations. Jesus Christ will come
again to receive unto Himself those who believe in
Him, that where He is, they may be also. He will
come again personally and visibly to establish His
kingdom. The resurrection of the believers will be
unto eternal glory, and the resurrection of the
unbelievers will be unto eternal punishment.
