Statement Of Faith...

We believe that the Bible is the infallible, verbally inspired Word of God and that it is, therefore, our final authority in matters of faith and practice. (John 17:17; 2 Timothy 3:16, 17)
We believe in the eternally existing triune God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (I John 5:7; John 1:1-4)
We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ, in his virgin birth, in his sinless life, in his miracles, in his vicarious and atoning death through his shed blood, in his bodily resurrection, and in his ascension to the right hand of the Father, where he now acts as Mediator and Advocate. (I John 1:12-14; Romans 14:9; Hebrews 12:2; Matthew 1:22, 23)
We believe that man's only hope of redemption is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ, who is the Son of God, and that all who receive the Lord Jesus Christ by faith are born again and become children of God. (Galatians 3:26)
We believe in the personal, imminent return of our Lord Jesus Christ for his own, and his later return in power and glory with his own to reign in righteousness over the earth, and in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost-they that are saved unto the resurrection of life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation. (John 11:25; Revelations 20:14, 15)
We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit whose indwelling in all believers, enables them to live godly lives. (I Corinthians 12:7; Ephesians 5:15-21)
We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ, and in the necessity of all his followers maintaining good works as evidence of faith. (Ephesians 4:3-6, 13; James 1:22-25)
We believe all things in the universe were created by God in six literal days of the creation week (Genesis 1:1-2:3, Exodus 20:8-11) and that the biblical record of primeval earth history in Genesis 1-11 is fully historical.
