Statement Of Faith
We believe the Scriptures, both Old and New Testaments, to be the inspired Word of God, without error in the original writing, the complete revelation of His will for the salvation of man and the divine and final authority for all Christian faith, life, and conduct.
(2 Tim. 3:15-17; 1 Cor. 14:37; 2 Pet. 1:20-21; Prov. 30:5-6)
We believe in one Living God, creator of all things, infinitely perfect and eternally existing in three persons: The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, equal in power and glory; that this triune God created all, upholds all and governs all things.
(Gen. 1:1; Deut. 6:4, 32:4; Rev. 4:11; Mt. 5:48; Jn. 10:30; Isa. 43:13, 44:6; Gen. 1:26; Act. 5:3-4, Jn. 1:1, 20:28; Tit. 2:13; 2 Pet. 1:1)
We believe Jesus Christ, without any change in His eternal deity, became man through conception by the Holy Spirit and virgin birth. We believe that He died on the cross, a perfect and complete sacrifice, in our stead and for our sins according to the Scriptures. He arose bodily from the dead and ascended into heaven, where at the right hand of the Majesty on high, He is now our High Priest and Advocate.
(Phil. 2:5-11; Heb. 2:9, 5:5-10, 9:24, 12:2; Mt. 1:18-25; Lk. 1:34-35; Acts 7:55-56, 17:31; 1 Cor. 15:3-4; 2 Cor. 5:15; 1 Tim. 2:5; 1 Jn. 2:1-2)
We believe that the ministry of the Holy Spirit is to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ, and during this age to convict of sin and regenerate the sinner upon believing in Christ. The Holy Spirit, at the time of regeneration, baptizes the believer into one body of believers, of which Christ is the head. The Holy Spirit indwells, guides, instructs, fills and empowers the believer for Godly living and service. Because we believe that all of the gifts of the Holy Spirit, and the fivefold ministry gifts of the Spirit are active today, we pray for the sick and minister deliverance to those oppressed by the devil.
(Jn. 14:12, 14:16-17, 16:7-9, 16:13-14, 20:22; Tit. 3:5-6; Eph. 1:13-14; Act. 1:8; Mk. 16:17-18; Mt. 28:19-20; 1 Cor. 12:4-13; Eph. 4:11-16)
We believe Man was created by God in His own image but fell into sin. Therefore, the entire human race is lost and only through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ, and regeneration of the Holy Spirit, can salvation and spiritual life can be obtained.
(Act. 20:21; Gen. 1:26; Lk. 5:32, 24:47-48; Rom. 3:9-20, 5:1-21; Heb. 6:1; Tit. 3:5-6; Eph. 2:1-9)
We believe that the atoning death of Jesus Christ, and His resurrection, provide the only ground of justification and salvation for all who believe, and that only such as receive Jesus Christ by personal faith are born of the Holy Spirit and by Him are sealed to the day of redemption.
(Rom. 4:5, 22-25; Act. 26:23; Jn. 1:11-13, 3:3-5; Eph. 1:13-14; Tit. 3:5-6)
We believe that all the saved should live in such manner as will honor and glorify and not bring reproach upon their Savior and Lord, and that God instructs us to remain separate from false (Un-biblical) doctrines, sinful pleasures and practices.
(Eph. 5:1-18; Lk. 3:8; Mt. 5:3-9, 7:15-21, 25:31-40; Gal. 5:13-25; 1 Cor. 6:9-11, 15:33-34; Rom. 16:17-19; Tit. 2:14; 2 Cor. 6:14-7:1; 1 Pet. 1:14-16)
We believe in the physical and imminent return of our Lord Jesus Christ, and that the hope of His appearing has a vital bearing on the personal life and service of the believer.
(Act. 1:10-11, 3:19-21; Jn. 14:2-3; 1 Thes. 4:13-18; Rev. 1:7, 22:20; 1 John 3:2)
We believe in the bodily resurrection of all the dead; of the believer to everlasting blessedness and joy with the Lord, and of the unbeliever to eternal judgment.
(Mt. 22:30, 25:14-30; Lk. 14:12-14; Jn. 5:28-29; Act. 4:2, 24:15; 1 Cor. 15:12-21; Phil. 3:11; Rev. 20:12-15, 21:1-8)
We believe that water baptism and the Lord’s Supper are ordinances to be observed by the Church during this present age. They are, however, not to be regarded as means of salvation.
(Mt. 28:19; Act. 2:38-41, 8:35-38; Rom. 6:4-7; Col. 2:11-12; 1 Cor. 5:8, 10:16-17, 11:23-29)
We believe that there is one true Church, made up of genuine believers. This one Church is also composed of many local churches in given localities. These local churches are under the sovereign Headship of the Lord Jesus Christ, exercising autonomous government under Him, administering all its local affairs and ministry, as well as the propagation of the Gospel.
(Act. 14:21-23, 15:22, 20:12-18, 20:28; Mat. 16:18, 18:15-20; Eph. 1:22-23; Col. 1:18; Tit. 1:5)
We believe that Government is ordained of God, and the powers that be are ordained as ministers of God to us for good. To resist the powers and ordinances of government is to resist the ordinance of God, except when the Government commands us to do something forbidden by God or when the Government commands us not to do something which God has commanded us to do.
(Rom. 13:1-7; Acts 5:27-29)
