Statement of Faith
We believe:
- In the word-by-word inspiration, sufficiency and divine authority of the
Holy Scriptures.
- In one God, eternally existing in three persons; Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
- In the Lord Jesus Christ as true God and true man; His virgin birth, spotless
humanity, vicarious death, bodily resurrection, present advocacy, and His
personal, bodily, visible return for His church.
- In the fall of man, resulting in his complete and universal separation from
God and his need for salvation.
- That the Lord Jesus Christ died and shed His blood as a sacrifice for the sins
of the whole world.
- That salvation is a free and everlasting gift of God, entirely apart from
works, received by personal
faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
- That the Holy Spirit regenerates with divine life and personally indwells the
believer upon his faith in Christ for salvation.
- In the bodily resurrection of both the saved and the unsaved.
- In the unending life of the saved with the Lord, and the unending
punishment of the unsaved.
We hold and teach the following positions:
- Believers' baptism by immersion.
- The pretribulational, premillenial return of Christ for the church.
- The historical-grammatical interpretation of the Bible
- That a soul once saved can never be lost
We value:
- the Word of God as Our Final Authority
- dependance on God evidenced by prayer and living by faith.
- willingness to sacrifice for Christ.
- a Spirit controlled life.
- Godly relationships and interdependence in ministry
- a sense of urgency in ministry
- effective communication in evangelism and church planting.
- the certainty that God desires to use any life.
- excellence in what we do.
