STATEMENT OF FAITH

We believe
• The Bible - the Scriptures - both Old and New Testaments, are the inspired Word of God and are the complete revelation of His will for the salvation of men, and the divine and final authority for all Christian faith and life.
• There is one God, Creator of all things, infinitely perfect, and eternally existing in three manifestations: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
• God is Love and He loves all people. It is His desire to reach out to those who are poor, oppressed, widowed or orphaned, and to heal the brokenhearted. (Psalm 68:5,6; 1 John 4:16)
• Man is created in the image of God but separated from God by sin. Without Jesus we cannot have a relationship with God. (Genesis 1:26; 1 Timothy 2:5)
• We can have a personal relationship with God through salvation, God's free gift to man. It is not a result of what we do, but it is only available through God's unearned favor. By admitting that we have sinned and believing in the death, burial and resurrection of Christ, and accepting Him as Lord, we can spend eternity with God. (Ephesians 2:8,9; Romans 5:1; Romans 3:24)
• We believe that Water baptism by immersion soon after accepting Christ as personal Savior, is a testimony of death to sin and resurrection to a new life. (Matthew 28:19; Romans 6:4; Matthew 3:13-17)
• The Baptism of the Holy Spirit is a gift from God. He helps empower the believer to live every day in God's will. (Matthew 3:11; Acts 2:4)
• God gives all believers spiritual gifts. They are for the strengthening of God's people (the Church) and proof of God's existence and power to unbelievers. The gifts of the Spirit are active and relevant today. (1 Corinthians 12:4-11; 1 Peter 4:10)
• Sanctification is the ongoing process of allowing God's character to be developed in us. (Romans 6:19; Galatians 5:22-25)
• Divine healing is active in the lives of people today through Jesus, who is the Healer. Healing includes physical, mental, emotional and spiritual restoration. (Luke 9:11; Matthew 9:35; Acts 10:38; Matthew 10:1)
• Communion - The Lord's Supper - is a memorial service setting forth in sacred and symbolic manner the death of the Lord Jesus Christ; all true believers and only believers should share in it.
• The Bible describes hell as a real place. It is a place of suffering and a place of permanent separation from God for those who die without accepting Christ. God's desire is that no one be separated from Him for eternity, which is why He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to earth. (Hebrews 9:27; Revelation 20:12-15; John 3:16-18)
• Jesus will return soon and take all those who have accepted Him as Savior to heaven for eternity. (Acts 1:11; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17; Hebrews 9:28)
