Statement of faith

We believe the Bible is the Divinely inspired, God breathed word of God.   

We believe in One God, existing in the three distinct persons of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

We believe that Jesus  was preexistent with the Father, that He was born of a virgin, He lived and ministered on the earth, died on a Roman cross and resurrected three days later. That He is now in heaven at the Father's right hand, but that He will return to the earth one day, beginning a new age under He and the Father’s rule. 

We believe that the blood of Jesus was shed for the forgiveness of sins and is the only atonement for sin. 

We believe a person can only be in right standing with God by faith in who Jesus is and His completed work of suffering, dying and rising again, defeating sin and death.  

We believe in the believer’s assurance of salvation and eternal life by faith in Jesus.

We believe in water baptism by immersion as an act of obedience to Christ, that it symbolizes the believers identification with the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus. 

We believe in the church’s call to community, as the body of Christ and the family of God, demonstrating unity and love for one another. 

We believe in the church’s call to ministry through sharing the gospel of Jesus.

We believe in the present day ministry of the Holy Spirit to convict mankind of sin, to comfort, to teach, to lead, and guide believers into all truth and to dwell within and fill the believer, distributing spiritual gifts and ministry gifts to the believer and to the church. 

We believe in the present day five fold ministry of apostles, prophets, pastors, evangelists, and teachers.

We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost, that those who are saved will be raised to receive rewards and everlasting life in God’s Kingdom and those who are not saved will be raised to eternal separation from God
