What We Believe

Statement of Faith

 

We believe the Bible is the infallible Word of God, inspired by the Holy Spirit, and contains every answer to man's problems.2 Timothy 3:16,17; 2 Peter 1:20,21

​

There is one God, existing eternally in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. John 10:30; John 14:26; Philippians 2:5-7

 

God is Love and He loves all people, every nation and every tribe. It is His desire to reach out to those who are rich, poor, oppressed, widowed, or orphaned, and to heal the brokenhearted.Psalm 68:5,6; 1 John 4:16

 

Man is created in the image of God but separated from God by sin. Jesus, was born of a virgin; was crucified on the cross and was the eternal and final sacrifice for all sin, and He was resurrected from the dead that all might live free of sin.   Without, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, we cannot have a relationship with God.Genesis 1:26; 1 Timothy 2:5; John 14

 

We have a personal relationship with God through salvation.  It is God's free gift to mankind. It is not a result of what we do, but it is a result of who we know!  It is the grace of God's unearned favor. By admitting we have sinned and believing in the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ, and accepting Him as Lord, we will spend eternity with God.Ephesians 2:8,9; Romans 5:1; Romans 3:24

​

We believe in water baptism, as taught and demonstrated by Jesus, as the way for believers to identify with the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus.Matthew 28:19; Romans 6:4; Matthew 3:13-17

 

The Baptism of the Holy Spirit is a gift from God. He empowers the believer to develop the character of Christ and live each day in God's will.Matthew 3:11; Acts 2:4

​

God gives all believers spiritual gifts. They are for the strengthening of God's people (the Church) and proof of God's existence and power to unbelievers. The gifts of the Spirit are active and relevant today.1 Corinthians 12:4-11; 1 Peter 4:10

 

Sanctification is the ongoing process of allowing God's character to be developed in us.Romans 6:19; Galatians 5:22-25

​

Divine healing is active in the lives of people today through Jesus, who is the Healer. Healing includes physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual restoration. Luke 9:11; Matthew 9:35; Acts 10:38; Matthew 10:1

​

Jesus will return again and take all those who have accepted Him as Savior to be with Him for eternity. Acts 1:11; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17;
