Our Statement of Faith

We believe the Bible to be the inspired and only infallible authoritative Word of God.

(2 Timothy 3:16; 1 Thessalonians 2:13; 2 Peter 1:21)

We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (1 John 5:6-8; John 15:26; John 1:1)

We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His atoning death through His shed blood, and His bodily Resurrection, and His personal return in power and glory. (1 Corinthians 15:3-4; 1 Peter 2:18-24; John 3:16; Luke 1)

We believe that for salvation for lost and sinful man, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential. (John 6:44, Romans 3:9-26, Titus 3:4-7)

We believe it is important, upon confession of Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, to be water baptized. (Acts 8:35-39; Mark 16:15-16)

We believe that the Baptism in the Holy Spirit is evidenced by manifestation of spiritual gifts and power in public testimony and service. (Matthew 3:11; John 14:16-17; Acts 1:8; Acts 2:4; Acts 2:38-39 & 42-43; Acts 10:44-46; Acts 19:4-6)

We believe that deliverance from sickness is provided for in the atonement, and is the privilege of all believers. (Isaiah 53:4-5; Matthew 8:16-17; Mark 16:18; 1 Peter 2:24; Psalm 107:20)

We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the unsaved; those that are saved unto the resurrection of life; and those that are unsaved unto the resurrection of damnation. (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; John 5:24 & 28-29; John 14:3; Revelation 22:20)

We believe in the imminent return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. (Acts 1:11; 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17)
