Statement of Faith

1. There is one God, the Creator, infinitely perfect and holy, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit; all equally God, of one essence, yet separate in personality.


2. Jesus Christ, the Son, eternally co-equal with the Father, became a man for our salvation, without ceasing to be God. He was conceived of the Holy Spirit, virgin born, lived a sinless life, shed His blood and died as an atonement for our sins, was bodily raised from the dead, and sits at the right hand of God (the Father), making intercession for believers. We believe in His imminent personal return for the church, and His visible return to establish His millennial kingdom on earth.


3. The Holy Spirit convicts the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment. He indwells, baptizes, and seals each believer at conversion, and is the means of knowing and applying the will of God in daily life. He also gives a gift or gifts to every believer for the building of the church.


4. The sixty-six books of the Holy Bible are the verbally and plenarily inspired Word of God, absolutely authoritative and inerrant in the original autographs, and are all sufficient as the believer's rule of faith and practice.


5. Man was created in the image of God by direct creation. They have sinned and thereby incurred both physical and spiritual death. All men are sinners by nature and choice, unwilling and incapable of receiving the things of the Spirit of God apart from the regenerating grace of God. Because of their sin, all men are separated from God.


6. Salvation is provided for man by grace and it is received through faith. It was accomplished by Christ through His substitutionary sacrifice for all and is in fact offered to all. Yet, it is applied only to God's chosen ones. Jesus is the only way to God and the only Mediator between God and man through this atoning work. The believer is thus regenerated by the Spirit of God (born again), justified before God, united with Christ, and adopted into the family of God. The redeemed, once saved, are kept by God's power and are thus secure in Christ forever.


7. It is God's will that each believer walk in the Spirit, doing his will, living a life that glorifies God and denying ungodliness and worldly pleasure. The believer is to have no association with those who promote a gospel other than the gospel of Jesus Christ.


8. The local church is an assembly of born again, baptized believers: subject to the work of God; independent of any external ecclesiastical control whatsoever; united in organization to practice the two New Testament ordinances of the Lord's Table (communion) and baptism (by immersion). The church meets together for worship, prayer, fellowship, teaching and actively engaging in carrying out the Great Commission.


9. We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of eternal life, and they that are lost unto the resurrection of eternal damnation, along with the adversary Satan.
