Statement of Faith

Statement of Faith

  • WE BELIEVE in the verbal inspiration of the Bible (2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:19-21).
  • WE BELIEVE in one God eternally existing in three persons; namely, the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost (Matthew 28:19; Acts 2:36-38; Mark 1:10-11).
  • WE BELIEVE in the deity of our Lord, Jesus Christ (John 1:1); His virgin birth (Luke 1:34-35); His sinless life (Hebrews 4:15); His miracles (John 10:37-38); His vicarious and atoning death (1 Corinthians 15:3); His resurrection (1 Corinthians 15:4; 1 Peter 1:3); His ascension to the right hand of the Father (Mark 16:19); His imminent return to this earth in power and glory (Acts 1:11; Hebrews 9:28).
  • WE BELIEVE that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God and that repentance is commanded of God for all and necessary for forgiveness of sins (Romans 3:23, Mark 1:15; Luke 13:3; Acts 3:19).
  • WE BELIEVE that justification, regeneration, and the new birth are wrought by faith in the blood of Jesus Christ (Romans 5:1; Titus 3:7).
  • WE BELIEVE in sanctification subsequent to the new birth, through faith in the blood of Christ; through the Word, and by the Holy Ghost (Romans 5:2; 1 Corinthians 1:30; 1 Thessalonians 4:3; Hebrews 13:12).
  • WE BELIEVE holiness to be God's standard of living for His people (Luke 1:75; 1 Thessalonians 4:7; Hebrews 12:14).
  • WE BELIEVE in the baptism with the Holy Ghost subsequent to a clean heart (Matthew 3:11; Luke 24:49, 53; Acts 1:4-8); and in the speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance (John 15:26; Acts 2:4; 10:44-46; 19:1-7).
  • WE BELIEVE in water baptism by immersion, and all who repent should be baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost (Matthew 28:19; Mark 1:9, 10; John 3:22, 23; Acts 8:36, 38.)
  • WE BELIEVE in the Lord's Supper (Luke 22:17-20; 1 Corinthians 11: 2 3 - 2 6).
  • WE BELIEVE divine healing is provided for all in the atonement (Psalm 103:3; Isaiah 53:4, 5; Matthew 8:17; James 5:14-16; 1 Peter 2:24).
  • WE BELIEVE in the bodily resurrection (John 5:28, 29; Acts 24:15; Revelation 20:5, 6); eternal life for the righteous (Matthew 25:46; Luke 18:30; John 10:28; Romans 6:22; 1 John 5:11-13); and eternal punishment for the wicked (Matthew 25:41-46; Mark 3:29; 2 Thessalonians 1: 8, 9; Revelation 20:10-15; 21:8).
  • WE BELIEVE that all things, seen and unseen, were made by God (Genesis 1:1; Colossians 1:16).
