Statement of Faith
-
We believe in one God, eternally existing in three Persons: Father, Son and
Holy Spirit; and these three are the same in substance, equal in power and
glory.
-
We believe in the Scriptures of the Old and the New Testaments as verbally and
planarily inspired by God and inerrant in the original writing, and that they
are of supreme and final authority in faith and life.
-
We believe that Jesus Christ was begotten by the Holy Spirit, born of the
Virgin Mary and is true God and true man.
-
We believe that man was created in the image of God, that he sinned, and
thereby incurred not only physical death but also that spiritual death which is
separation from God. All human beings are born with a sinful nature, and in the
case of those who reach moral responsibility, become sinners in thought, word
and deed.
-
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins, according to the
Scriptures, as representative and substitutionary sacrifice and that all who
believe in Him are justified on the ground of His shed blood.
-
We believe in the resurrection of the crucified body of our Lord, in His
ascension into Heaven, and in His present life there for us, as High Priest and
Advocate.
-
We believe in the deity and personality of the Holy Spirit, who convicts the
sinner, regenerates, indwells, enlightens and guides the believer.
-
We believe that all who receive by faith the Lord Jesus Christ and born again
by the Holy Spirit, and thereby become children of God.
-
We believe in "that blessed hope," the personal and premillenial and imminent
return of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
-
We believe in the bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust, the
everlasting blessedness of the saved, and the everlasting punishment of the
lost.
