Our Statement of Faith
| The
Scriptures: We believe that the Holy Bible was written by men
divinely inspired, and is a perfect treasure of heavenly instruction;
that it has God for its author, salvation for its end, and truth,
without any mixture of error, for its matter. 2 Timothy 3:16-17, 2 Peter
1:21, John 17:17 God the Father: There is one and only one living and true God, and intelligent, spiritual, and tri-personal being, the Creator, preserver, and ruler of the universe, infinite in holiness and all other perfections, to whom we owe the highest love, reverence, and obedience. (Jeremiah 10:19, John 17:3-5 1John 5:20) God the Son: We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ was begotten of the Holy Spirit (Matt. 1:20) without a human father, born of a virgin, (Isaiah 7:14) and is truly God and truly man, that His deity is absolute, wholly unique and singular. (John 10:30, John 1:1, Titus 2:13) God the Spirit: We believe in the personality, emotion, intellect, and deity of the Holy Spirit, the third person of the trinity who is the divine interpreter of the infallible Word of God. ( John 14:16-17, 1 Corinthians 12:11, Romans 5:5, 1 Corinthians 2:10-11, 2 Peter 1:21, John 14:26, 16:13-14.) The Fall of Man: We believe, according to the teaching of Scripture, that man was created a moral being in the image of God and after His likeness. (Genesis 1:26) But by voluntary transgression fell from his original sinless state. (Genesis 3:6) In consequence, the whole human race was involved in guilt, making all mankind now sinners, depraved in nature, spiritually dead, and hopeless apart from divine grace. Romans 5:12, 18-19, Ephesians 2:18 The Resurrection of Christ: We believe in the resurrection of the crucified body of Christ; that His body, which was raised from the dead according to the Scriptures was a literal body consisting of flesh and bone. Matthew 27:57-61, Luke 24:13-40, John 20:1-31, 1 Corinthians 15:12-23 The Church: We believe that the church, the body of Christ, is composed of all those who have true faith in the Lord Jesus; that the visible church or assembly is a congregation of baptized believers, associated by covenant in faith and fellowship of the Gospel, and observing the ordinances of Christ, the true head of the church. Acts 2:41-42 The Return of Christ: We believe according to the Scripture, in the sure return of the Lord Jesus Christ; that His first coming will be for His bride, the church (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, 1 Corinthians 15:51-58) and will be prior to the seven year Tribulation Period (Romans 5:9, 1 Thessalonians 1:10, 1 Thessalonians 5:9). His second coming in glory will be pre-millennial and at such time He will set up the kingdom and rule this earth for 1000 years (Matthew 24:27-31, Revelation 19-20).
