Statement of Faith

• • • We believe in One God, Creator of all things, visible and invisible. Eternally existent in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit (Matt. 28:19). Three distinct persons yet each fully God

• • • We believe in the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ. His virgin birth, His sinless life, His atoning death, His bodily resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of the Father and that He will return again to judge the living and the dead. Fully God and fully Man. (John 1:1; Matthew 1:18,25; Hebrews 4:15; Hebrews 9:15-22; 1 Corinthians 15:1-8; Acts 1:9-11; Hebrews 9:27-28)

• • • We believe salvation is only through the atoning blood of Jesus Christ (John. 14:6), by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, to the glory of God alone (Ephesians. 2:8).

• • • We believe in the present working of the Holy Spirit, who indwells Christian believers to enable us to live holy lives. (John 14:15). The Holy Spirit seals the believer until the day of redemption, regenerating and renewing, sanctifying and leading the believer into righteousness (Ephesians 1:13-14; Titus 3:5; Galatians 5:16-18). He is the Helper, the Spirit of truth that was promised (John 14:16-17). We believe the Holy Spirit convicts the world of sin (John 16:8), testifies of Christ (John 15:26), pointing people to the Lord Jesus, bringing the believer to repentance (2Cor. 7:10).

• • • We believe the Bible is the infallible, inerrant, eternal, inspired Word of God, written by human authors, under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit without error (2 Peter 1:20-21). It is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword (Heb. 4:12), profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man (or woman) of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work. (2 Tim 3:16-17, James 1:21, Ps. 119:9).

• • • We believe in the power of prayer. We believe it is important and necessary in the life of every believer and is the core strength of the church. We believe God hears and answers the prayers o9f His people (Ps. 17:6, 34:17). God desires we pray always, with thanksgiving (Phil, 4:6), in faith (James 1:5), according to His perfect will (Matt. 6:10). God invites us to approach Him with confidence (Heb. 4:16) and He promises to listen when we do (Ps. 18:6).

    • We believe in the future fulfillment of biblical prophecies – The Rapture of the Church, where believers will meet the Lord Jesus Christ in the air and taken out of this world before, the Great Tribulation which will come upon this earth to judge all who have rejected Christ (1 Thess.1:10;4:13-17; 2 Pet.2:7-9, Rev. 7:13-14). We believe in the Second Coming of Jesus Christ and the establishment of His Millennial Kingdom on earth (Rev. 5:7-10; Matt. 24:27, 29-31, 1 Thess 3:13, Heb. 9:28). We believe in the bodily resurrection of all people, the saved and the lost. The saved to eternal life with God in heaven and the lost to eternal damnation and suffering in hell (Matt. 7:22, 25:31-46, Dan. 12:2, 2 Cor. 5:10, Heb. 9:28, Rev. 3:5, 20:11-15).
  •  
    • We believe that Israel is God’s chosen people, the apple of God’s eye, the Wife of Jehovah and the Church is the Bride of Christ. We believe that God intends to fulfill all of His promises to Israel and that one day all Israel will be saved. (Gen. 12:1-3,7; Deut.4:7-8,35-37; Rom. 11:25-36; Heb.6:13-20)
  •  
    • We believe marriage was established by God and there for is a sacred covenant between one man and one woman, for life ((Genesis 1:27-28), Gen. 2:24-25). We believe God’s design for marriage is His divine plan for sexual relationships to be exercised only within the bonds of marriage, according to God’s word (Heb.13:4, Eph. 5:22-33, 1 Cor. 7:2-11). We believe that God created sexual relations to be exercised within the bonds of marriage, according to the Word of God. We believe all other sexual activity outside of the sacred covenant of marriage is sinful and inconsistent with God’s word and perfect design. These include but are not limited to adultery, fornication (sex outside of marriage), incest, homosexuality, pornography, etc. and are inconsistent with the teaching of the Bible and the Church. (1 Cor. 5:11, 6:9, 18-20, 7:2-3, Rom 1:18-29, Matt. 19:9). 
  •  
    • We believe human life begins at the moment of conception, it is precious and sacred to God. We believe that God alone is the Creator of all things including life. We believe that God created mankind in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. (Genesis 1:27). We believe that God values all life including the life of the unborn. (Jer. 1:4-5 Isa. 49:1,5; Ps. 22:9-10, 39:13, 15, Ps. 8:4-5, Gal. 1:15; Prov. 24:11-12, Exo. 20:13, Deut. 27:25)
