Statement of Faith
We believe: in the one true God, who is eternally ever-existing, unchanging, without limit, and neither needing nor lacking anything. (John 17:3; Numbers 23:19; Psalm 102:25-27; Matthew 19:26; Acts 17:24-25)
We believe: God has and always will exist as three Persons in perfect unity, being equal in divinity, power, and glory: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. (Matthew 3:16-17, 28:19; John 10:30, 14:26; 2 Corinthians 13:14; Ephesians 2:18; Jude 1:20-21)
We believe: The Bible is the infallible Word of God, inspired by the Holy Spirit, consisting of 66 books of the Old and New Testaments, which is the full and complete Word of God. (2 Timothy 3:16,17; 2 Peter 1:20, 21
We believe: We believe that Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man. As Immanuel, God with us, Jesus did not lay aside his deity nor cease to be God for one instant. Jesus is, at the same time, fully man; he was born of a virgin woman, was tempted in every way yet lived a sinless life and died a real death.
(Philippians 2:6-7; Matthew 1:23; John 1:14; Hebrews 4:15; Colossians 2:9; 1 John 3:5; Matthew 27:27-50; 1 Peter 2:22)
We believe: the only path of salvation is by the acceptance of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. Salvation is a gift from God through His amazing grace and is offered to everyone. (John 3:16; John 5:24; Titus 3:3-7
We believe: Baptism symbolizes the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus and is a public declaration of the acceptance of Jesus Christ as your personal Savior. Baptism does not save you; but shows the world that you have already been saved. While baptism is not required for salvation, it is a biblical command and demonstrates your love and obedience to Christ.
A believer must be convinced, convicted and converted before a baptism is of any significance. (Colossians 2:12; Acts 2:41; Ephesians 2: 8-9; Matthew 28:19-20)
We believe: that God has prepared good works for every believer to do. All believers should conform more to the image of Christ and less to the image of the world as they grow in holiness, maturity, obedience, and spiritual knowledge.
(Ephesians 2:10; Colossians 1:10, 28; 1 Peter 1:14-16; 2 Peter 3:18)
We believe: that all believers are called to share their faith, by words and by deeds. (Acts 1:8; Matthew 5:16; 1 Peter 3:15)
