Statement OF Faith
What We Believe, Teach, And Preach
We believe the Holy Bible to be the inspired, inerrant and only
infallible,
authoritative Word of God. The Old and New Testaments are God's
divinely inspired Word which are profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for
correction, and for instruction in righteousness
( II Tim. 3:16, II Pet. 1:20).
The Bible, which can be read and understood by all believers, is our
final authority in faith and conduct.
We believe that there is but one God, eternally existent and
manifested in the triune Godhead, three persons co-equal in power and
purpose--God the Father, God the Son,and God the Holy spirit
( I John 5:7, Matt. 28:19). Jesus Christ is the only mediatior between
God and man. He is the living Lord of the Bible and the living Lord of
today. He is the head of the church. We believe that all have sinned
and come short of the glory of God and are in need of salvation
( Rom. 3:23, 3:10-12). We believe in the salvation
and the sanctification of unbelievers through the renewal and
regeneration of the Holy spirit in the heart. We believe that God wills for
no one to be lost, but that all should come to repentance
( II Pet. 3:9, Jn..3:16). We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is the Son
of God. We believe in His deity, His virgin birth, in His perfect and
sinless life, in His supernatural work in miracles and healing, in His
substitutionary death, His shed blood which atones for the sins of the
world, in His bodily resurrection in His ascension
to the right hand of the Father in heaven, and in His personal return in the
power and glory to rapture a mature church.
We believe in the observance of theHoly Eucharist
( Holy Communion or Lord's Supper), in water baptism and in the
ministry and baptism of the Holy Spirit, empowering and enabling the
Christian to live a holy life in this present world and to minister like Jesus
did.
We believe healing is provided in the redemptive work of the Lord
Jesus Christ and is available to every believer.
We believe in the resurrection of the dead to either eternal life with
Jesus for the saved or the eternal damnation in hell for the unbelieving
lost.
We believe in the local church as the asembly of all those who have
received the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal Savior who come for
Christian fellowship, the preaching and teaching of the Bible and world
evangelization. We believe the Church, ordained by God and founded
by
Jesus Christ, is the equipping agency for the saints. It is an arm of God
for the express purpose of the world evangelization as well as healing
and strengthening auxilliary for the Body of Christ. We believe the
church, ordained by God and founded by Jesus Christ, is the equipping
agency for the saints. It is an arm of God for the purpose of world
evangelization as well as a healing and strengthening auxiliary for the
Body of Christ. We believe the church provides the moral conscience
for society and expresses the clear will of God for all mankind.
