Statement of Beliefs

We believe that Jesus Christ is the “Image of the invisible God” and that in Him “all deity dwells in bodily form.” We believe in His virgin birth, His sinless life, His death on the cross as the atonement for sin, His literal bodily resurrection from the dead, His present ministry of intercession in Heaven, and His personal future return to the earth. He will come again to judge the living and the dead and His Kingdom will have no end.
John 1:1,14,18; Heb.1:1-9; Luke 1:35, Colossians 1:15-22; 1 Thessalonians 4:16; 1 Peter 3:18

We believe the Holy Spirit convicts men of sin and regenerates, indwells, seals, sets apart, and empowers believers for service and for holy living and a holy life. We believe God bestows spiritual gifts on each believer. We believe that “God is at work within us both to will and work to His good pleasure” and that “He will continue to perfect us until the day of Christ Jesus.”
John 14:16; John 16:7-11, Romans 8:14-16; Ephesians 1:13; Philippians 1:6; Philippians 2:13; 1 Corinthians 2:12,13; Ephesians 4:1-16,30

We believe in the unity and trinity of the Godhead existing in three persons: The Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit. These three persons are One God having the same nature, attributes, and perfection.
Genesis 1:1, 26, John 1:14, 10:30,15:26, 17:21; 2 Corinthians 13:14; Ephesians 4:4-6

We believe that man was created in the image of God but was separated from God by sin and shall be judged; and that only through the Blood of Christ and regeneration by the Holy Spirit can salvation and spiritual life be obtained.
Genesis 1:27, Genesis 2:22, Romans 2:2-5, 3:23, 5:12; Ephesians 2:1, 2:8-9; Hebrews 9:27

We believe that salvation comes through God’s transforming grace alone. God’s offer of grace for us is completely free and is merited for us by the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, God’s one and only Son. This grace is available to all who believe in Jesus. By grace we are brought from death to life and into the family of God. God’s grace cleanses us of all our sin and transforms us in the image of Christ Jesus who is Lord over all.
Mark 16:16; John 1:12, 5:24; Acts 4:12; Romans 3:22, 10:9-13; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4; 2 Corinthians 5:17-21; Galatians 2:20; Ephesians 2:8-10; Hebrews 11:1

We believe both the Old and the New Testaments of the Bible to be the infallible Holy Word of God, inspired in every part by the Holy Spirit. The Bible is the revelation of God for the equipping of man and is authoritative for all matters of faith and life.
1 Thessalonians 2:13; 2 Timothy 3:15-17; Hebrews 1:1-3; 2 Peter 1:19-21

The Church is the people of God gathered for worship, holiness, service and mission. It is the body of Christ and derives its life, direction, and power from Jesus Christ its head.
Romans 12:4-5; Ephesians 1:22, 2:19; Galatians 5:24-25; Acts 1:8; Acts 22:15; Ephesians 5:23; 2 Timothy 2:2; Matthew 28:19-20; 1 Cor 11:18; 14:19, 28, 34-35 Phil 3:6.

We believe that Christians are called to a life of service to Christ with the power of the Holy Spirit. Believers are to take the gospel message to the whole world and equip believers to grow in the grace and the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
