Statement of Faith

 

 

We are nondenominational; we seek to minister to all.

 

We hold to the Bible, Old and New Testaments, as the inspired (God breathed), infallible, Word of God.

 

We believe in the new birth, and that salvation is a free gift of God through Jesus Christ to all who will repent, confess their sins, and believe the Gospel.

 

We believe in the virgin birth of Jesus, the only begotten Son of God.

 

We believe in the deity of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.

 

We believe that, while we were yet sinners, Jesus Christ shed His precious Blood on the cross, and died, that we might have life, and have it more abundantly.

 

We believe that Jesus some days after His resurrection from the dead, ascended to God in Heaven.

 

We believe in the personal return of Jesus, with power and great glory and that His return is an event for saved people to look forward to with great expectation and with constant watchfulness and prayer.

 

We believe that this same Jesus, which was taken up from the apostles into Heaven, shall come in like manner as they saw Him go into Heaven.

 

We believe that it is the privilege and duty of every Christian to be filled with the Holy Spirit, and to live a Holy life, and to be always ready for the return of Jesus, and that, in the meantime, each Christian should keep busy in His will, and in His service till the Lord’s return.
