STATEMENT OF FAITH
THE TRINITY: We believe in God the Father, Jesus God’s Son and the Holy Spirit.
THE BIBLE: We believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God and it is the bases for all doctrine. Jesus said, “Man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.” (Matthew 4:4)
MAN, HIS FALL AND REDEMPTION: We believe that man (mankind) was created by God, in His image and likeness and that he is an eternal being. Due to Adam’s transgression all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23). We believe that Jesus is God’s means of redemption and restoration (John 14:6 ; I Timothy 2:5).
THE NEW BIRTH: We believe that one must be born again. In the words of Jesus, “Most assuredly I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God. Do not marvel that I said to you, you must be born again.” (John 3:3 & 7)
We believe that one is born again according to the Bible as stated in Romans 10:9 – 10 & 13, “That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
WATER BAPTISM: We believe in water baptism by immersion as commanded in the Bible (Mark 16:16), practiced by John the Baptist and exemplified by Jesus (Mark 1:4 – 10). We believe that water baptism is a symbol of ones identification with Christ in His death, burial and resurrection (Romans 6:3 -5).
BAPTISM IN / WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT: We believe that the Baptism in the Holy Spirit is a gift from God subsequent to salvation, the evidence of which is speaking in other tongues (Acts 2:1 – 4 ; Ephesians 5:18).
THE RESURRECTION AND THE RAPTURE: We believe that there will be a resurrection of the dead at the rapture of the church when Jesus returns for all saints alive on the earth. The apostle Paul spoke of this “catching up” in his letter to the Thessalonians (I Thessalonians 4:15 – 17).
HEAVEN AND HELL: We believe in a literal heaven and hell and that man will spend eternity in either one or the other. We believe that a relationship with God through His son Jesus by way of the new birth makes the difference. When Jesus becomes your Lord, God becomes your Father and heaven becomes your eternal home!
