STATEMENT OF FAITH

 

WE BELIEVE: The Bible, both Old and New Testaments is without error and is alone the only infallible, inspired Word of God and declares His design and plan for humankind. (2 Timothy 3:16-17

WE BELIEVE: There is only One True God eternally existent in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. (2 Corinthians 13:14

WE BELIEVE: In the Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in his sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death who is forever one Christ with two natures-God and man-in one person. (John 1:1,14, 20:28, 1 Timothy 3:16, Philippians 2:5-6

WE BELIEVE: All of humankind was created in the image of God, but that by voluntary disobedience sin entered the world and ushered in evil and death, both physical and spiritual, into the world. (Romans 5:8

WE BELIEVE: Every Person Can Have Restored Fellowship with God through Salvation (we are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ; His death, burial, and resurrection. (Ephesians 2:8-9, Galatians 2:16, Titus 3:5

WE BELIEVE Repentance is the commitment to sincerely turn from sin and follow Christ, which allows us to receive His redemption and be regenerated by the Holy Spirit. (Acts 2:21, 1 John 1:9

WE BELIEVE: The Empowering of the Holy Spirit, according to Acts 2:4, is given to believers for power in Christian Witness. The Holy Spirit in one’s life brings forth changes, including a renewed love for God and His Word, as well as an embracing love for humankind and holy living. (Acts 1:8, Acts 2:4

WE BELIEVE: “This is God’s will for you, your sanctification,” (1 Thessalonians 4:3). Deliverance from the power of sin is a present and continuous process in a believer becoming like Christ, which takes place by the Holy Spirit’s power and presence. (1 Thessalonians 4:3-8

WE BELIEVE: The Bible teaches that each believer must make a strong commitment to build relational bridges to the unsaved/unchurched in order for Christ, through His body, to meet human needs with ministries of love and compassion. (Matthew 28:19, Romans 1:12

WE BELIEVE: Christ’s vicarious death on the cross paid the penalty for the sins of all humankind, however, God’s benefits are for those who have trusted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Healing, body, soul and spirit as well as all of God’s provisions for Christ’s followers are provided for in the atonement, but these must be appropriated. (Romans 5:10-11

WE BELIEVE: In The Blessed Hope-The Second Coming of Christ-the imminent return of our Lord; begins with a personal coming, physical coming, visible coming, sudden coming, and a glorious coming. (Matthew 24:30, Acts 1:11, Acts 3:20, Titus 2:13, 1 Thessalonians 5:2-3, Hebrews
9:28
