What We Believe, Our Purpose, and more
Statement of Faith
- We believe the Bible to be the inspired, infallible, authoritative Word of God.
- We believe there is one God, eternally existent in three Persons: the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit.
- We believe in the deity of Christ, in His virgin birth, in His vicarious and atoning death, in His resurrection from the dead, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.
- We believe in the absolute necessity of regeneration by the Holy Spirit for salvation because of the sinfulness of human nature; and that men are justified on the single ground of faith in the shed blood of Christ and that only by God's grace and through faith are we saved.
- We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto eternal life, and they that are lost unto eternal damnation. We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in Christ.
