Statement
Of Faith
There is one true living God Creator of all things, who exists
in three persons - God the Father, God the Son, and God the
Holy Spirit.
The Scripture, both Old and New Testament, are the inspired
Word of God. It is the infallible written word, which was written
without error in the original manuscripts. It is the supreme
and final authority in all matters on which it speaks.
Man was originally created in the image of God and existed
in perfect fellowship with God. Man's disobedience separated
man from God and brought divine condemnation on mankind. The
penalty for disobedience is death; therefore, man is in need
of a savior.
Jesus Christ, Son of God, was miraculously conceived by the
Holy Spirit and virgin mother. He voluntarily died on the cross
as a sinless substitute for man, rose bodily from the dead,
and ascended bodily into heaven. This same Jesus now sits at
the right hand of God the Father as the only mediator between
God and man by continually offering intercessions for His own.
The salvation of man is the result of God's free grace and
it cannot be accomplished through work or good deeds. God removes
the penalty for sin for those who put their faith in Jesus Christ
alone for their salvation.
The Holy Spirit regenerates (born again) all believers from
the very moment in which they trust Christ as their Savior,
baptizing all believers into the body of Christ.
The Holy Spirit administers spiritual gifts to the church,
convicts men of their sins, draws sinners to Christ, and continually
indwells in every believer who receives his fullness, power
and control by faith. Every believer is called to live by the
power of the Holy Spirit.
Jesus Christ is the Head of the Church that is comprised of
all men who have trusted in Him for salvation. Jesus will come
again for His Bride, which is the Church.
At physical death the believer enters into eternal fellowship
with the Lord, while the unbeliever enters into eternal separation
from the Lord.
Every knee will bow and every tongue will confess Jesus Christ
as Lord!!!!!
