Statement of faith

Bible We believe the Bible, consisting of 66 books, to be the inspired Word of God, without error, the revelation of His will for the salvation of men, and the divine and final authority for all Christian faith and life.

God We believe in one God existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. God has always been and will always be the only God. There were none before Him and shall be none after him.

The Father We believe that the Father created all things in heaven and on earth. He created human beings out of a love for us and desires a personal relationship with each of us.

Jesus We believe that Jesus Christ is true God and true man, having been conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. that Jesus took all the sins of the world upon himself, when John the Baptist laid hand's on Jesus in the River Jordan, and that He paid the ultimate price by the shedding of His Blood on the Cross And that he was raised from the grave after 3 days. and is now seated at the right hand of the Father. He lived a sinless life and died on the cross as the sacrifice for our sins according to the Scriptures. Further, He arose bodily from the dead and ascended into heaven.

Holy Spirit We believe that the ministry of the Holy Spirit is to convict men, making them aware of their sin and the salvation available through Jesus. He regenerates, guides, instructs, and empowers the believer for godly living and service.

Man We believe that man was created in the image of God and sinless, but fell into sin and is therefore lost and subject to judgment. There is nothing man can do to save himself from this judgement, but he can allow the death of Jesus to take the place of his own eternal damnation by acknowledging God and accepting the free gift of salvation.

Salvation We believe that Jesus took all the sins of the world upon himself, when John the Baptist laid hand's on Jesus in the River Jordan, and that He paid the ultimate price by the shedding of His Blood on the Cross And that he was raised from the grave after 3 days. and is now seated at the right hand of the Father. provides the only way of justification and salvation for all who believe. Furthermore, any who attach additional works of man as a requirement for salvation are false in that they infer Jesus death is insufficient in and of itself to save and that human beings somehow have the capability to save themselves.

Accepting the Sinner, Denouncing the Sin We believe that no sin is too big for God to forgive. Therefore, as Christians we should be open and eager to share the Gospel with everyone regardless of their sin or affliction. However, making Jesus lord of our lives means striving towards holiness and turning from our sinful ways. Therefore, while being open to all sinners, Christians ought not accept, ignore, or promote any sin as permissible.
