STATEMENT OF FAITH



We believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, who is God manifest in the flesh.  We believe in One God, in three divine Persons:  Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Jesus Christ, true God and true man, was conceived by the Holy Spirit, and born of a virgin, Mary.  Jesus lived a sinless life, fulfilled the whole Law of God, was crucified, bore our sins in His own body, and died.  He descended
into hell, and on the third day, rose again from the dead.  He ascended into  heaven where He sits at the right hand of the Father, making intercession for the believers.

We believe in the bodily return of the Lord Jesus; the resurrection of the dead; and eternal judgment, with a literal heaven, and literal hell.  God has made Jesus both Lord and Christ.  His shed blood is the only, and more than sufficient, provision for the remission of men’s sins, through faith in  Christ.  True faith in Christ results in the remission of sin, the new birth, and the gift of
eternal life.

We believe in the Person and ministry of the Holy Spirit, to glorify Christ, to convict men of sin, and to regenerate the believer.  We believe that the Spirit will guide, teach, and empower the believer to live for, and to glorify, God.  We believe His gifts, His ministries, and His wonderful presence, are with the  Church today.  We believe the Bible to be the inspired Word of God, without error.  We believe we must be saved by grace, and justified by faith alone.

We further believe that God’s Word is to be practiced, by God’s grace and Spirit, not merely heard and assented to.  We believe that the Bible is the most  practical book ever written.  It reveals God’s will for every aspect of life and faith.  According to His Word, we believe that God’s will is to heal the Church of every schism; there is one Lord, one faith, one body of Christ, one Spirit; and all believers should maintain the unity of the Spirit; in the bond of peace and love--we believe in the ‘communion of the saints’.
 

You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.  Matthew 22:37
