Statement of Faith
It is to be accepted that no grouping of words can fully and comprehensively express all that might be stated as to our convictions and Biblical position. However, as a general expression of the principal tenets for which we stand, the following introduces our Doctrinal beliefs.
We believe in the verbal and full inspiration of the Old and New Testament Scriptures as originally given and their absolute and final authority, and sufficiency, in all matters pertaining to faith and practice.
We believe in the unity of the Godhead and the eternal co-equality of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
We believe in the sovereignty of God in creation, providence and redemption.
We believe in the LORD Jesus Christ as true God and true man; His deity, incarnation, virgin birth, sinless life, atoning death and physical resurrection.
We believe in the work of Jesus Christ in His life, death and resurrection as representative and substitutionary; His atonement for sin, thereby securing righteousness, forgiveness and eternal life for all who are united in Him by faith.
We believe in the ascension of the LORD Jesus Christ, His intercession at the throne of God, His coming again personally and visibly in glory and power.
We believe in the deity and personality of the Holy Spirit and His essential work in regeneration, conversion and sanctification.
We believe in the creation of man in the image of God, his sin and fall, the consequences passing to the whole human race, extending to every part of human nature and resulting in the universal guilt of all mankind before God.
We believe in the personality of Satan, his opposition to the Divine purposes, and his corruption and enslavement of man.
We believe in salvation solely by the grace of God, accomplished by faith in the LORD Jesus Christ; including regeneration, justification, sanctification, and final glorification.
We believe in the bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust, the one to eternal life and the other to eternal punishment.
We believe in the one holy, universal Church, which is the Body of Christ to which all true believers belong.
