Statement of Faith

I believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God, infallible in its original writings. (II Timothy 3:16, II Peter 1:21).

I believe the scriptures teaches that there is one true living God who has chosen to reveal Himself as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (Deuteronomy 6:4, Isaiah 43:10-11, II Corinthians 5:19, Ephesians 4:6). 

I believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God. In the fullness of time, God sent forth His Son, made of woman, made under the law, to redeem them that were under the law. (Galatians 4:4-5). In him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily. (Colossians 2:9). That no man can come to the Father except through the shed blood of Christ. (John 14:6)

I believe that man is a sinful being in need of redemption. (Genesis 1:26-31, Psalm 51:5, Ecclesiastes 7:29, John 6:44, Romans 5:12-21, I Corinthians 2:14)

I believe in repentance to God, confessing ourselves as sinners, receiving forgiveness through the Lord Jesus Christ and His blood atonement for sinners, witnessed by a definite change from sin to righteousness. (Acts 17:30, Acts 11:18, Acts 2:38-39)

I believe that water baptism (immersion) is for believers and should be administered in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ according to the acts of the Apostles. (Acts 2:38, Acts 10:48, Acts 19:5) thus fulfilling Matthew 28:19.

I believe that the baptism of the Holy Spirit is given to believers who ask for it and is evidenced by speaking in other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance. (Acts2:38-39, Acts 5:31-32, Acts 10:45-46)

I believe the redemptive work of Christ on the cross provides healing for the human body in answer to faith and prayer. (Isaiah 53:4-5, James 5:14-15, I Peter 2:24)

I believe in the personal imminent return of our Lord Jesus Christ. (Acts 1:11, I Thessalonians 4:13-18)

I believe in the bodily resurrection of both the saved and the lost; the saved to everlasting life and the lost to everlasting damnation. (Matthew 24:31-46, Acts 24:15, Revelation 22:11)
