STATEMENT OF FAITH
God, Our Father
We believe that there is one God who is omnipotent, omnipresent,
and omniscient.
We believe that He is the creator of all things in heaven
and earth. We believe that God seeks relationship with
His creation and has made provision for that relationship
through faith in Jesus Christ. (Genesis 1:1; Ephesians
1:3-12)
Jesus Christ
We believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God who came to
earth to dwell among
us. We believe Jesus Christ died on the cross of Calvary,
was crucified, dead, and buried, and on the third day
rose from the grave with all power in His hands. We believe
He now sits on the right hand of God the Father making
intercession for all believers. We believe that the fullness
of the Godhead dwells in Jesus Christ. (Romans 8:34; Colossians
2:9)
The Holy Spirit
We believe in the power of the Holy Ghost, which enables
us to live a spirit-filled life. We believe that the
Holy Ghost has empowered us to become effective witnesses
throughout the world. (Acts 1:8)
The Plan of Salvation
We believe that God has given us eternal life in Jesus
Christ. We believe that salvation is the result of the
redemptive work of Christ on the cross. By His blood,
we are cleansed from sin and saved by faith through
the grace of God. (Romans 3:10, 23-25; 10:8)
Salvation through Grace
We believe that all humanity is born into sin. We believe
that through the grace of God we are given an opportunity
to be free and to choose a victorious life by accepting
Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. (Ephesians 2:8-9)
The Holy Bible
We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God and
the final authority in all matters. Its purpose is to
impart the heart of God to the people of God so we do
not sin against Him. (II Timothy 3:16; Psalm 119;11)
