Statement of Faith
The Scriptures
We believe the Bible, being inerrant in its original manuscripts, is the inspired, authoritative Word of God. 2 Timothy 3:16, 2 Peter 1:21)
The Godhead
We believe there is one God eternally existent in three Persons - the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. (Genesis 1:1, Deuteronomy 6:4, Matthew 28:16, John 6:27, 10:30, Acts 5:3-4)
The Person and Work of Christ
We believe in the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ (John 10:33), His virgin birth (Isaiah 7:14, Matthew 1:23, Luke 1:35), His perfect and sinless life (Romans 10:4, Hebrews 4:15, 7:26), His miracles (John 2:11), His vicarious and atoning death (1 Corinthians 15:3, Ephesians 1:7, Hebrews 2:9), His resurrection (John 11:25, 1 Corinthians 15:4-8), His ascension to the right hand of the Father and glory. (Acts 1:11, Revelation 19:11)
Salvation
We believe in the absolute necessity of regeneration by the Holy Spirit for salvation because of total depravity of the human nature;that men are justified solely by faith in the shed blood of Christ apart from works; that we are saved by God's grace and through faith alone; and that our salvation is eternally secure -- it cannot be forfeited or lost. (John 3:16-19, 5:24, Romans 3:23, 5:8-9, 8:31-39, Ephesians 2:8-10, Titus 3:5)
The Resurrection of the Dead
We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost - they that are saved unto the resurrection of life, and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation. (Daniel 12:1-2, John 5:21-29, Revelation 20:4-6, 11-15, 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17
Spirit Baptism
We believe in the Spirit baptism of all believers in our Lord Jesus Christ. (Romans 6:3-10, 8:9, Galatians 3:26-28, 1 Corinthians 12:12-13)
The Ministry of the Holy Spirit
We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling every Christian is able to live a godly life. (Romans 6:1-14, 8:13-14, 1 Corinthians 3:16, 6:19-20, Ephesians 4:30, 5:18)
