Statement of Faith:
-
We believe in one God, creator of heaven and earth, who always existed in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
-
We believe in Jesus Christ, God's only Son, conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary. We believe in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His death on the cross as a payment for our sins, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory as Lord of Lords, and King of Kings .
-
We believe in the Holy Spirit as one who lives in believers enabling them to live a Godly life.
-
We believe the Bible to be the inspired Word of God. God inspired the writers so that their message was His message, accurate, authoritative, authentic, and reliable.
-
We believe that salvation for lost and sinful human beings is found only in our Lord Jesus Christ. This salvation, comes by the renewing power of the Holy Spirit in a person's life.
-
We believe in a final resurrection at the end of time when every person will bow before God and every tongue will confess that Jesus is Lord.
-
We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.
