Our
Statement of Faith...
- About the Bible
We believe that the Bible is the inerrant Word of God, that it was
written by men divinely inspired, and that it is the supreme
infallible authority in all matters of faith and conduct.
II Timothy 3:16, 17; II Peter 1:20, 21
- About God the Father
We believe in God the Father, unchangeable, perfect in holiness,
infinite in wisdom, measureless in power. We are confident and
rejoice that He concerns Himself mercifully in the affairs of
mankind, that He hears and answers prayer and that He saves from sin
and death all that come to Him through the grace of Jesus Christ.
Romans 1:16-20; Ephesians 2:4-9
- About God the Son
We believe in Jesus Christ the eternal and only begotten son of God,
conceived of the Holy Spirit, of virgin birth, sinless in His life,
making atonement once for the sins of the world by His death. We
believe in His bodily resurrection, His ascension, and visible
imminent return to the world according to His promise.
Hebrews 1:1-3; John 1:1-5, 10-14, 17; Acts 1:1-11
- About the Holy Spirit
We believe in the Holy Spirit who came forth from God to convince
the world of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment; and to
regenerate, sanctify, teach, comfort and indwell those who believe
in Jesus Christ.
John 14:16-18; John 16:8-11
- About Mankind
We believe that all mankind, by nature and by choice, are sinners,
but that God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son
that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have
everlasting life; therefore, we who believe in Christ as Lord and
Savior will rejoice forever in God's presence in heaven and those
who refuse to believe in Christ as Lord and Savior will be forever
separated from God in the torments of hell.
Romans 3:10-11, 23; Romans 5:12, 17; Romans 6:23
- About the Church
We believe in the church, a living spiritual body of which Christ is
the head and of which all regenerated people are members. We believe
that a local church is a company of believers in Jesus Christ,
baptized by immersion following the example of Christ and associated
for worship, fellowship, teaching and prayer. We believe that these
local churches were committed together, for perpetual observances,
the ordinances of
baptism and communion. We believe that God has laid upon these
churches the task of proclaiming to a lost world the acceptance of
Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.
Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 2:42
- About Relationships
We believe that every human being is responsible to God alone in all
matters of faith; that each church is independent and autonomous and
must be free from interference by an ecclesiastical or political
authority that, therefore, church and state must be kept separate as
having different functions, each fulfilling its duties free from the
dictation or patronage of each other.
Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 2:42
