Statement of Faith
We believe:
- The Bible is the inspired, infallible, authoritative Word of God.
- There is only one God eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
- The Deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in bodily
resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father and in His personal
return in power and glory.
- The ongoing ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live the godly life, thereby being equipped to serve God in the home, church
and community.
- Regeneration by the Holy Spirit, through the redemptive work of Jesus Christ, is
absolutely essential for the salvation of mankind.
- 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.
- The spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.
