Statement Of Faith

What We Believe

  • We believe that the Bible is God’s word; that it was written by men divinely inspired, and that it is the supreme, infallible authority in all matters of faith and conduct. (2 Tim 3:16,17; 1 Thessalonians. 2:13; 2 Pet 1:19-21)

  • We believe in God the Father, perfect in holiness, infinite in wisdom, measureless in power. We rejoice that He concerns Himself mercifully in the affairs of men, that He hears and answers prayer, and that He saves from sin and death, all that come to Him through Jesus Christ. (1 Tim 1:17)

  • We believe in Jesus Christ, the eternal and only begotten Son of God, conceived of the Holy Spirit, of virgin birth, sinless in His life, making substitutionary atonement for the sins of the world by His death and shed blood (1 Pet 2:24). We believe in His bodily resurrection, His ascension and personal, visible, imminent, pre-millennial return to the world according to His promise (Acts 1:11; 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18; 1 Corinthians. 15:3,4; 1 Tim 2:5). We believe in His present intercessory ministry for His own redeemed children (Heb 7:25, 26).

  • We believe in the Holy Spirit , who came forth from God to convince the world of sin, of righteousness and judgment, and to regenerate, sanctify, comfort and empower for service those who believe in Jesus Christ. (John 14:26; 16:7-11)

  • We believe that all men by nature and by choice are sinners, but that “God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16); we believe, therefore, that those who receive Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior (John 1:12) will rejoice forever in God’s presence and those who refuse to accept Christ as Lord and Savior will be forever separated from God. (Matt 25:46)

  • We believe in the Church, a living spiritual body of which Christ is the Head and of which all regenerated people are members. We believe that a local church is a company of believers in Jesus Christ, immersed on a credible confession of faith, and associated for worship, work and fellowship. We believe that to these local churches were committed, for perpetual observance, the ordinances of baptism and the Lord’s Supper, and that God has laid upon these churches the task of proclaiming to a lost world the acceptance of Jesus Christ as Savior and the enthroning of Him as Lord and Master both at home and unto the ends of the earth. (Matt 28:18-20)

  • We believe that every human being is responsible to God alone in all matters of faith (Rom 14:10,12); that each church is independent and autonomous and should be free from interference by any ecclesiastical or political authority; that, therefore, Church and State must be kept separate as having different functions, each fulfilling its duties free from the dedication or control of the other. (Rom 14:10,12)
