Statement of Faith
The Scriptures
We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God, the product of holy men of old who spoke and wrote as they were moved by the Holy Spirit and that the New Covenant, as recorded in the New Testament, we accept as our infallible guide in matters pertaining to conduct and doctrine.
(2 Timothy 3:16; 1 Thessalonians 2:13; 2 Peter 1:21)
The GodHead
We believe our God is one, but manifested in three persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, being coequal God the Father is greater than all, the Sender of the Word (Logos and the Begetter. The Son is the Word flesh-covered, the One Begotten, and has existed with the Father from the beginning. The Holy Spirit proceeds forth from both the Father and the Son and is eternal. (Deuteronomy 6:4; Phil. 2:6). (John
1:1; John 1:18; John 1:14, John 14:16; John 15:26), (John 14:28; John 16:28; John 1:14)
Mans Fall and Redemption
We believe man is a created being, made in the likeness and image of God, but through Adam? transgression and fall, sin came into the world. The Bible says ?? all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God,? and ?? There is none righteous, no, not one.? Jesus Christ, the Son of God was manifested to undo the works of the devil and gave His life and shed His blood to redeem and restore man back to God.
Salvation is the gift of God to man, separate from works and the Law, and is made operative by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, producing works acceptable to God. (Romans 3:10; 3:23; Romans 5:14; 1 John 3:8), (Ephesians 2:8-10)
Eternal Life and the New Birth
We believe man? first step toward salvation is godly sorrow that worketh repentance. The New Birth is necessary to all men, and when experienced, produces eternal life.
(2 Corinthians 7:10), (John 3:3-5), (1 John 5:12)
Water Baptism
We believe baptism in water by immersion, is a direct commandment of our Lord, and is for believers only. This ordinance is a symbol of the Christian? identification with Christ in His death, burial and resurrection. (Matthew 28:19), (Romans 6:4), (Colossians 2:12), (Acts 8:36-39)
