WHAT WE BELIEVE

STATEMENT OF FAITH

We believe that the Bible is the inspired, authoritative Word of God.  It is without error in all its teaching.

We believe that there is one God, Lord of the universe, eternally existent in three persons:  the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

We believe that God, as Creator, is the ultimate Owner of all possessions on earth.  God has given man the authority to be a steward of those possessions and the responsibility to faithfully manage them according to the principles revealed in the Word of God. 

We believe that all truth is God’s truth and is to be used for the common good of humanity and the establishment of God’s kingdom.

We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ; in His virgin birth; in His perfect, sinless life; in His miracles; in His substitutionary and atoning death through His shed blood; in His bodily resurrection; in His ascension to heaven to the right hand of God the Father; and in His personal and visible return in power and glory.

We believe that all people are lost sinners and that regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential for people to be able to believe in Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior.

We believe that salvation is a free gift of God provided through the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ Jesus and that it cannot be earned or deserved by our efforts.

We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling of the Christian is able to enable us to live a godly life. We believe all mankind will be resurrected¾those who are saved to eternal life and those who are lost to eternal damnation. We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ and in the one universal Church of Christ Jesus.
