Statement of Faith
WE BELIEVE THAT GOD IS THE CREATOR AND SUSTAINER OF ALL THAT WE SEE.
WE BELIEVE THAT HE SPOKE EVERYTHING IN EXISTENCE AND THAT HE CREATED MANKIND IN HIS IMAGE AND LIKENESS.
WE BELIEVE THE WORD OF GOD WAS INSPIRED BY HIM AND IS PROFITABLE FOR DOCTRINE, FOR REPROOF, FOR CORRECTION, FOR INSTRUCTION IN RIGHTEOUSNESS, THAT WE MAY BE COMPLETE AND THOROUGHLY EQUIPPED FOR EVERY GOOD WORK.
WE BELIEVE THAT MANKIND WAS FORMED FROM THE DUST OF THE EARTH AND IT WAS THE BREATH OF GOD THAT CAUSED MANKIND TO BECOME A LIVING SOUL.
WE BELIEVE THAT GOD DID CREATE ADAM FIRST AND THEN OUT OF ADAM CAME EVE.
WE BELIEVE THAT THIS COVENANT BETWEEN ADAM AND EVE IS A SACRED COVENANT AND THAT IT IS THE STANDARD TO WHICH GOD VIEWS MARRIAGE.
WE BELIEVE THAT JESUS CHRIST IS THE SON OF GOD AND THAT HE WAS BORN OF THE VIRGIN MARY BY THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
WE BELIEVE THAT HE LIVED A LIFE TOTALLY AND COMPLETELY OBEDIENT TO GOD THE FATHER AND THAT HE NEVER SINNED.
WE BELIEVE THAT JESUS CHRIST WAS TEMPTED BY SATAN AND OVERCAME THOSE TEMPTATIONS BY SPEAKING THE INFALLIBLE WORD OF GOD OVER THOSE TEMPTATIONS.
WE BELIEVE THAT HE DID OVERCOME EVERY TEMPTATION WITH THE POWER AND PROMISE OF THE WORD OF GOD.
WE BELIEVE THAT JESUS CHRIST WAS CRUCIFIED AND THAT HE DIED AND WAS BURIED ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES AND ON THE THIRD DAY, HE ROSE FROM THE GRAVE, WAS SEEN BY HIS DISCIPLES AND OTHERS, AND THEN ASCENDED INTO HEAVEN WHERE HE REMAINS AT THE RIGHT HAND OF THE FATHER INTERCEDING ON OUR BEHALF.
WE BELIEVE BECAUSE OF HIS RESURRECTION FROM THE GRAVE WE WHO HAVE TRUSTED HIM AND BELIEVE HIS REPORT OF WHO HE IS AND WHO SENT HIM, WILL BE WITH HIM IN HEAVEN WHEN HE RETURNS.
WE ALSO BELIEVE THAT GOD, THROUGH JESUS CHRIST, SENT THE HOLY SPIRIT TO INDWELL, LEAD, EMPOWER, AND GROW THE CHURCH UNTIL GOD SENDS HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON BACK FOR HIS CHURCH.
WE BELIEVE THAT AFTER DEATH, ETERNAL LIFE BEGINS EITHER IN HEAVEN OR HELL. WHERE YOU WILL SPEND ETERNITY IS BASED ON YOUR DECISION TO MAKE JESUS CHRIST YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR OR NOT.
WE BELIEVE THAT JESUS CHRIST IS THE ONLY WAY IN WHICH SALVATION IS SECURED.
WE BELIEVE IN WATER BAPTISM IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, THE SON, AND THE HOLY GHOST, AND THAT BAPTISM IS A RESULT OF SALVATION.
WE BELIEVE IN THE ORDINANCE OF OBSERVING THE LORD’S SUPPER ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES.
WE BELIEVE THAT TITHES AND OFFERINGS SHOULD BE GIVEN FREELY AND NOT GRUDGINGLY ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES.
