Statement of Faith
- There is one God who is infinitely perfect, existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. They are never identical as to person, nor confused as to relation, nor divided in respect to the Godhead, nor opposed as to cooperation.
- Jesus Christ, the Son, having been conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of a virgin, is true God and true man. He died upon the cross as a substitutionary sacrifice, and all who repent of their sins and believe in Him are justified through His shed blood. He arose from the dead according to the Scriptures and is now at the right hand of the Father as our High Priest.
- The Holy Spirit is a divine person sent to indwell, guide, teach and empower the believer and convince the world of sin, of righteousness and of judgment.
- The Scriptures, both the Old and New Testaments, inerrant as originally given, were verbally inspired by God and are a complete revelation of His will for the salvation of man. They constitute the divine and final authority for Christian faith and practice.
- Man, originally created in the image of God, fell through disobedience. Consequently, the human race was separated from God. From this condition man can be saved only by the grace of God, through the atoning work of Christ and the agency of the Holy Spirit. The portion of the impenitent and the unbeliever is existence forever in conscious torment, while that of the believer is everlasting joy and bliss.
- Salvation has been provided through Jesus Christ for all men. Those who repent and believe in Him are born again of the Holy Spirit, receive the gift of eternal life, and become the children of God.
- It is the will of God that each believer be filled with the Holy Spirit, sanctified wholly, separated from sin and the world, and fully dedicated to the will of God, thereby receiving power for holy living and effective service.
- The Church consists of all those who believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, are redeemed through His blood, and are regenerated by the Holy Spirit. The local church is a body of believers who are joined together for worship, the study of God's word, proclaiming the gospel, and Christian service.
- There shall be bodily resurrection of the just unto eternal life; the unjust unto judgment.
- The second coming of the Lord is imminent. This hope is a vital truth which is an incentive to holy living and faithful service.
