Faith Statement
~
We believe the Bible, both old and
new testaments, to be the verbally inspired Word of God, the final
authority for faith and life, inerrant in the original writings,
infallible and God-breathed.
We believe in
the literal six days of creation.
We believe that
there is one God, eternally existent in three persons, Father, Son,
and Holy Spirit.
We believe in
the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, in His sinless
life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through
His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection in His ascension and His
personal return in power and glory.
We believe that
the Holy Spirit is a divine person proceeding from the Father and
Son, and is therefore eternal, and of the same essence, majesty, and
glory with the Father and Son. We believe therefore that the Holy
Spirit is truly God.
We believe
salvation is a gift from God offered to all man by grace alone, not
by works, and is accepted by personal faith in the Lord Jesus
Christ, whose precious blood was shed on Calvary for the forgiveness
of our sins.
We believe in
the existence of a personal devil who is working in the world to
destroy the souls of men. We believe that all believers should live
in such a manner as not to bring reproach upon their Savior and
Lord.
We believe in
the sanctity of human life as created by God.
We believe the
marriage covenant was created by God and is only between one man and
one woman.
We believe it is
our obligation as believers to witness by life and word to the
truths of the Gospel and proclaim these to all mankind.
We believe in
that “blessed hope”, the personal return of the Lord Jesus Christ,
for His redeemed one; and in His return to earth, with His saints,
to establish His Kingdom. We believe in the bodily resurrection of
all men, the saved to eternal life, and the unsaved to judgment and
everlasting punishment.
We believe God,
in His word, has given parents the responsibility and authority to
educate their children in a godly manner.
