To help others understand our perspective
and purposes, we offer the following Statement of Faith.
We believe:
1) The Scriptures are the divinely inspired
Word of God. (II Tim. 3:16)
2) In the Godhead: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
(Matt. 28:19-20, Eph. 4:4-6, Deut. 6:14)
3) In the Lord Jesus Christ, God manifest
in the flesh, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His death
and resurrection, His ascension and personal return. (John
1:15, Matt.1:23, Heb. 4:15, I Cor. 15:3-6, Acts 1:9-11)
4) In the Holy Spirit who, by His indwelling,
empowers the believer to live a holy life; to witness and
work for the Lord Jesus Christ. (Acts1:8, John 16:5-15,
John14:15-18)
5) In the salvation of the lost and sinful
man through the shed blood of Jesus Christ and the regeneration
by the Holy Spirit, given by God’s grace through faith,
not by works, lest any man should boast. (Eph. 2:8-9, Eph.
1:7, Titus 3:5)
6) Anybody who is convicted of his own sinfulness
and believes that Christ’s death and resurrection
were done on his behalf has his guilt removed and is set
free from slavery to his sinful nature, and is free to live
according to the Spirit. (John 3:16-18, Romans 8:1-4)
7) In the unity of the Spirit of all true
believers, the church, the Body of Christ. (Eph.4:4-6)
8) In the resurrection of the dead, of both
the believers and non-believers: believers to eternal life
and non-believers to eternal torment. (Rev. 20:10-15, John
5:24-29)
