STATEMENT
OF FAITH
1. We believe
that the Bible is inspired by God; that it is the only infallible, authoritative
word of God, and our final authority in faith and practice.
2. We believe
that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son,
and Holy Spirit.
3. We believe
in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless
life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His
shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, and in His ascension to the right
hand of the Father.
4. We believe
that all people have been under the bondage and power of sin since the
fall of Adam, and deserve the judgment and wrath of God.
5. We believe
that salvation is by faith in Jesus Christ alone, through grace alone,
and that regeneration by the Holy Spirit is necessary to enter the kingdom
of God.
6. We believe
in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian
is enabled to live a godly life.
7. We believe
that the Church is the body of Christ and that all Christians are members
of it. We believe in the spiritual unity of all believers.
8. We believe
that the primary task of the Church is to preach the gospel to all creation,
and make disciples of all nations.
9. We believe
in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved
unto the resurrection of life and they that are lost unto the resurrection
of damnation.
10. We believe
that Jesus Christ will come again in power and glory to judge the living
and the dead.
