Statement of Faith

We believe in:

The unity and trinity of God, eternally existing in three co-equal Persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
GEN. 1:26; MT. 28:19; II COR. 13:14; REV. 4:8

God the Creator and Preserver of all things, who created man, male and female, in His own image, and gave them dominion over the earthly creation.
GEN. 1:26-31; COL. 1:16, 17; HEB. 1:1-3

The deity and humanity of God the Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, who being very God, also became man, being begotten by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, was crucified, dead and buried, was raised bodily from the dead, and ascended to the right hand of the Father; whose two natures continue eternally and inseparably joined together in one Person.

The deity and personality of God the Holy Spirit, and the necessity of His work to make the death of Christ effective to the individual sinner, leading him to repentance toward God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; and in His ministry, dwelling permanently within and working through the believer for godly life and service.
JOHN 3:5-8, 14:16, 17,26, 16:7-11; I COR. 12:13; ACTS 1:8

ISA. 53:5,6; I PETER 2:24, 3:18; ROM. 5:6-8; II COR. 5:21

JOHN 3:3-8; I JOHN 5:1; ROM. 8:1-4; I TIM. 1:9,10; EPH. 2:8,9
The security of the believer, based entirely on the atoning work of the Lord Jesus Christ, whereby, as a born-again child of God, he has assurance of salvation and has the right to all the privileges of the sons of God.

The responsibility of the believer to maintain good works, and to obey the revealed will of God in life and service, through which eternal rewards shall be received.
