Statement of Faith

2 Timothy 3:16
We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God that Holy Men of old spoke and wrote as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.

Philippians 2:6
We believe our God is one but manifested as the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, being co-equal.

1 Corinthians 15:3-4
We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and that He was crucified, died and was buried, and on the third day, He arose from the dead and ascended on high, where He took His seat at the right hand of God the Father Almighty until His enemies become His footstool.

Romans 3:23
We believe man is created, being made in the likeness and image of God, but through Adam's transgression and fall, sin came into the world. "All have sinned and come short of the glory of God."

2 Corinthians 7:10
We believe man's first step toward salvation is Godly sorrow that worketh repentance. The new birth (being born again) is necessary to all men, and when fulfilled, produces eternal life.

Acts 2:38, Matthew 28:19
We believe in the indwelling of the Holy Spirit and the baptism of the Holy Spirit as distinct from the New Birth, in speaking with tongues as the Spirit of God gives utterance, in the gifts of the Spirit, and displaying evidence of the fruit of the Spirit. We believe that all of these are available to believers.

1 Peter 2:24
We believe in divine healing by the power of God through the prayer of faith, laying on of hands and speaking the Word of God.

Hebrews 12:14
We believe the Bible teaches that without Holiness, no man shall see the Lord. The doctrine of Sanctification is a definite, yet a progressive work of grace.

Revelation 19:20
We believe in hell and eternal retribution. The one who physically dies in his sins without Christ is hopelessly and eternally lost.
