Statement of Faith

1. We believe the Bible to be the inspired and only infallible and authoritative Word of God.

2. We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost.

3. We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His vicarious and atoning death, His bodily resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and His personal future return to the earth.

4. We believe in the creation by God, in the fall of man and original sin, and that man is spirit, soul, and body.

5. We believe that the only means of being forgiven and cleansed from sin is through repentance and faith in the precious blood of Jesus Christ and that regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential for personal salvation.

6. We believe in the ordinances of the church which are water baptism by immersion and communion, the Lord's Supper.

7. We believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit for believers who ask for it according to Acts 2:4. We also believe in the operation of the gifts of the Spirit.

8. We believe in life after death, in heaven and hell.

9. We believe in the Blessed hope, which is the second coming of Christ to the church and in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost.
