Statement of Faith
We believe in one God – Father, Son and Holy Spirit, Creator
of all things.
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of
God, was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary,
was crucified, died, was buried, was resurrected, ascended into
heaven, and is now seated at the right hand of God the Father
and is true God and true man.
We believe the Bible in its entirety to be the inspired Word of
God and the infallible rule of faith and conduct.
We believe in the resurrection of the dead, of both the saved
and the lost: in the eternal happiness of the saved, and the
eternal punishment of the lost.
We believe in the personal salvation of believers through the
shed blood of Jesus Christ.
We believe in sanctification through the Word of God and by the
Holy Spirit, and we believe in personal holiness shown by purity
of heart and life.
We believe in divine healing, through faith in the Name of Jesus
Christ, and that healing is included in the Redemption.
We believe in water baptism, in the Baptism in the Holy Spirit as distinct from the New Birth, in the gifts of the Spirit Acts 2:4, 1 Corinthians 12:7-11), and the evidence of the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23). We believe that all of these are available to believers.
We believe in the Christian’s hope – the soon coming,
personal return of the Lord Jesus Christ.
We believe in the mission of the church as a divine agency of
God for world evangelism, as a place of prayer and of worship,
and a place for the equipping of God’s people.
