STATEMENT OF FAITH
There is only one true God, who is the eternal King. He is the Creator, Redeemer and Sustainer of all that is. He is perfectly holy, just, loving, good and truthful. He has revealed Himself to be eternally self- existent, one being in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
The Bible, as originally given by God, is divinely inspired, infallible and entirely trustworthy. It is the authoritative Word of God in all matters of faith and conduct.
Humankind was created in the image of God to know and enjoy Him, yet we willfully rejected the Lordship and glory of God for which we were intended. Because of this, sickness, death and judgment entered the world, and now creation constantly experiences the effects and consequences of sin.
The Lord Jesus Christ, the one and only Son of God, was conceived of the Holy Spirit and was born of the virgin, Mary. He is God's Anointed One, empowered by the Holy Spirit to inaugurate God's Kingdom on earth. He lived a sinless life, but was crucified for our sins. He died, was buried and descended into hell. On the third day he was resurrected from the dead and he ascended into heaven. He is alive today, in the presence of God the Father and in His people. He is "true God" and "true man."
Humanity is universally sinful and guilty before God since the Fall, making every person subject to God’s wrath and condemnation.
We are justified and saved by God's grace alone, through faith in the person and work of Jesus Christ, redeemed by His blood. Anyone can be restored to fellowship with God through repenting, believing and receiving Jesus as their Savior and Lord. The Holy Spirit convicts, regenerates, justifies, and adopts us as we enter the Kingdom of God as His sons and daughters.
The sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit, by whom all believers are indwelt, enables the Christian to live holy and minister super-naturally.
The victorious redemptive work of Christ on the cross provides freedom from the power of the enemy: sin, deception, sickness and torment.
The Church consists of all who put their faith in Jesus Christ. They are united by the bond of fellowship with Jesus. The Church exists to carry on the ministry of Jesus Christ and further advance His kingdom by undoing the works of the enemy, preaching and living the good news of God's love, discipling the nations, baptizing and teaching them to love and obey God.
The government of God will continue to expand until it’s consummation in the Blessed Hope, which is the glorious, visible return of our Lord Jesus Christ for His overcoming bride, His church.
Heaven and hell are real places. There will be a resurrection of the saved and the lost, the one to everlasting life and the other to everlasting death.
