Statement of Faith

We Believe

  • There is only one true living God, perfectly and eternally existing in the Trinity as God the Father, God the Son (who is Jesus the Christ), and God the Holy Spirit; equal in every divine perfection, and executing distinct but harmonious offices in the great work of redemption (Genesis 1:1; Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 28:19; John 1:1-2, 10:30; 1 Corinthians 6:11).
  • In the absolute necessity of regeneration by the Holy Spirit for salvation because of the exceeding sinfulness of the human nature, and that all are justified on the single ground of faith in the shed blood of Christ, and that only by God’s grace through faith alone are we saved (John 3:16-19; 5:24, Romans 3:23; 5:8-9, Ephesians 2:8-10, Titus 3:5).
  • In the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; those who are saved unto the resurrection of life, and those who are not unto the resurrection of damnation (John 5:28-29).
  • That we as Christians are examples of the love of God in this world. It is this (agape) love that we desire to possess and without which we have no right to call ourselves Christians (I John 4:16-17).
  • It is the mandate of the whole Church to go into the whole world and to preach the Gospel to every living creature. (Mark 16:15, Matthew 28:19-20)
