Statement of Faith is not meant to be a complete comprehensive
statement, instead it is meant to be a partial statement
describing our general Christian beliefs.
God
We believe that there is one God who exists in three
persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
Jesus
We believe that Jesus is the Son of God, was born of a
virgin, was wholly God and wholly man, lived a sinless life,
died in our place as a sacrifice for the sins of mankind, was
buried, arose bodily from the grave, and ascended into Heaven.
We believe that Jesus Christ will literally return to earth.
Holy Spirit
We believe that God the Holy Spirit is active in convincing
unbelievers of their need for salvation, and is the Comforter
and Guide Who lives in every believer.
Bible
We believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God, without
any error, and is the sole authority for life.
Man
We believe that man was created by God, in His image, but
that through the sin of the first man, Adam, mankind fell so
that all men are sinners, in need of salvation.
Salvation
We believe that salvation is a gift of God received through
repentance and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
Eternity
We believe that those persons who die in their sins without
Christ spend eternity in Hell and those persons who die with
their sins forgiven through Christ spend eternity with God.
Baptism
We believe that water baptism is an act of obedience to the
command of Christ following salvation.
Church
We believe that the church is a local body of baptized believers
with the Lord Jesus Christ as the Head.
Prayer
We believe that each believer has direct access to God in
prayer through the Lord Jesus Christ.
