What We Believe
Statement of Faith
- We believe in one God, who is triune—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—and the Creator of all things.
- We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, who is fully God and fully man, was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, was crucified, died, was buried, was resurrected, ascended into heaven, and is now seated at the right hand of God the Father for the purpose of interceding for the saints.
- We believe that all scripture (contained in the Bible) is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness. As such, it is the infallible rule of faith and conduct.
- We believe in the resurrection of the dead, the eternal happiness of the saved, and the eternal punishment of the lost. Therefore, we believe that the primary mission of the Church is soul winning.
- We believe that salvation, through the shed blood of Jesus Christ, is available to everyone.
- We believe in sanctification through the Word of God and by the Holy Spirit, and in personal holiness and purity of heart and life.
- We believe in divine healing through faith in the Name of Jesus Christ, which can be manifested in various ways, including the laying on of hands, and that healing is included in the Redemption.
- We believe in water baptism, in the Baptism of the Holy Spirit as distinct from the New Birth, in speaking with tongues as the Spirit gives utterance (Acts 2:4), in the gifts of the Spirit, and in the evidence of the fruit of the Spirit. We believe that all of these are available to all believers.
- We believe in the Christian’s hope: the soon-coming, personal return of the Lord Jesus Christ.
