STATEMENT OF FAITH

We believe:


  • The Bible is the inspired, infallible and authoritative written Word of God (Psalm 119; Matthew 4:4; Luke 24:2).
  • There is one God, eternally co-existent in three persons: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit (I John 5:7).
  • In the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His vicarious and atoning death, His bodily resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and His personal future return to this earth in power and glory to rule a thousand years (John 1:1-4; Ephesians 2:13-18; Revelation Chapters 19-20).
  • In the blessed hope of the rapture of the Church at Christ’s coming (I Thessalonians 4:13-18).
  • The only means of being cleansed from sin is through repentance and faith in the precious blood of Christ (Romans 5:1; Ephesians 2:8-9, 13-18).
  • Regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential for personal salvation (John 3:5-8; Titus 3:5).
  • The Cross and The Cross alone is the answer to all things!
  • The redemptive work of Christ on the cross provides healing of the human body and mind, in answer to believing prayer (Exodus 15:25-26; James 5:14-15; I Peter 2:24).
  • The Baptism with the Holy Spirit, with the evidence of speaking in other tongues according to Acts 2:4, is given to believers who ask for it (Acts 2:4, 10:44-46, 19:1-7). The significance is power for service! The gifts of the Spirit are still for today, along with the governing of the gifts (1 Cor 12, 14; Ephesians 4:7-16).
  • In the sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling, the Christian is enabled to live a holy life (Romans 6:3-14, 8:1-2, 11). By being baptized into the death of Christ, we can also have resurrection life.
  • God established marriage as a sacred institution between one natural-born man and one natural-born woman (Genesis 2:18-24; Matthew 19:4-6).
  • Any form of sexual immorality, such as adultery, fornication, homosexuality, bisexual conduct, bestiality, incest, pornography, any attempt to change one’s sex, disagreement with one’s biological sex, is sinful and offensive to God (Genesis 1:27; Leviticus 18; Deuteronomy 22:5; Deuteronomy 32:4; Jeremiah 1:5; Romans 1:18-32; 1 Corinthians 6:18-20; 1 Timothy 1:10).
  • In the resurrection of both the saved and the lost, one to everlasting life and the other to everlasting damnation (Revelation 20:5-6, 11-15).
  • In the security of the believer as our faith remains in Jesus Christ and His finished work on the Cross (John 3:16).
