Statement Of Faith
We beleive the Bible to be the inspired, the only
infallible, authoritative Word of God. It is to be our sole
standard for our faith and practice
We believe that there is one and only one true God and
that in the unity of the God-head there are three
persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, equal in every
divine perfection but executing distinct offices in the
work of redemption.
We believe in 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
His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right
hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power
and glory.
We believe that man was created in innocence and that
by voluntary choice he transgressed God's law, in
consequence of which all men are born in sin and are
under the just condemnation of God.
We believe that for salvation of the lost sinful man,
regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely necessary
and that a repentance toward God and faith in our Lord
Jesus Christ are the only conditions for salvation.

We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by
whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a Godly
life and whose sealing secures the salvation of the
Christian until the coming of Jesus Christ for His
church.
We believe in 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.
We believe in the reality of a heavenly home prepared
by Christ for the believer; we believe that Hell is a literal
place prepared for the Devil and his angels and that it is
also the final destination of unbelievers.
We believe that there is a one true church which is
universal and is made up of born-again ones. The local
church is a manifestation of this universal church that is
an organized, self-governing body of born-again,
immersed believers.
