Statement of Faith
We believe in one God who is seen in three persons: the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
(Matthew 3:16,17; John 1:1,14; John 14:9; Genesis 1:2,26; John 4:24, John 10:30; John 14:16-20)
We believe in God the Father, Creator of all things visible and invisible.
(Genesis 1:1; Acts 17:24-28; Hebrews 11:3)
We believe Jesus was born fully human and fully divine, conceived of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary.
(Philippians 2:7,8; John 1:14; Romans 5:15-17; Colossians 2:9; I John 1:1; Matthew 1:18; Luke 1:26-38).
We believe that mankind was meant to have fellowship with God, but through Adam’s disobedience, sin separated us from God, our source of life.
(Isaiah 59:2; Acts 4:12; Romans 3:23; Romans 5:12)
We believe that Jesus suffered and was crucified to pay the price for our sins and to undo the works of the devil.
(I John 3:8; Galatians 3:13 Colossians 2:14,15).
We believe Jesus was buried and resurrected in bodily form on the third day.
(Luke 23:44-24:8; John 20:24-29; I Corinthians 15:3-8)
We believe that salvation and forgiveness of sins is only received by grace through faith in Jesus Christ.
(Matthew 26:28; Romans 5:17; Ephesians 2:8-9; I Peter 1:18-19; I John 1:7-9).
We believe that when someone chooses to give their life to Christ, their spirit nature is made new and they receive eternal life.
(II Corinthians 5:17; John 3:3-5; I John 5:12,13; John 3:16; Romans 10:9,10)
We believe that water baptism is an outward expression of the inward work of salvation.
(Romans 6:4; Matthew 28:19; Colossians 2:12)
We believe that Jesus ascended into Heaven and now sits at the right hand of the Father.
(Luke 22:69; Acts 1:1-9; Colossians 3:1).
We believe that Jesus will return to the earth to judge both the living and the dead.
(Matthew 24:36-42; John 14:1-3; Acts 1:10-11, 10:39-42; I Peter 4:5; I Thessalonians 4:16,17).

(John 15:26; John 16:5-15; I Corinthians 3:16, 6:19; II Timothy 1:14)
We believe in the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, an experience that empowers the Christian.
We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God, written by men who were moved by the Holy Spirit.
(Mark 12:36; John 14:26, 16:12-15; Acts 1:16; I Corinthians 2:12-13; II Timothy 3:14-16; II Peter 1:20-21).
We believe that the Bible is final authority for all matters of faith and conduct.
(Isaiah 40:8; Matthew 5:18, 24:35; Romans 15:4; Hebrews 4:12).
We believe that people were created to exist forever, with "forever" being in one of two places: heaven or hell. Spending eternity in heaven means being in perfect union with God, while eternity in hell means separation from God.
(John 3:16, 1 John 2:25, John 5:11-13, Romans 6:23, Revelation 20:15).
