Our Statement of Faith
THE SCRIPTURES
We believe the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testament to be the verbally and plenary inspired Word of God. The Scriptures are inerrant, infallible and God-breathed, and therefore are the final authority for faith and life. The sixty-six books of the Old and New Testament are the complete and divine revelation of God to man.
2 Timothy 2:16-17; 2 Peter 1:20-21; Psalm 12:6-7
THE GODHEAD
We believe the Godhead eternally exists in three persons (the Trinity), Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. These three are one God, having precisely the same nature attributes, and perfections. We believe Jesus Christ is eternal in His existence. He came to earth by means of a virgin birth. His death on the cross is the atonement for sin. His literal bodily resurrection from the dead. His personal return to earth. We believe in the Holy Spirit as the third person of the Godhead. He convicts men of sin; regenerates, indwells, seals, and sets believers apart unto a holy life. The Holy Spirit is the teacher of the Word of God and guide for a christians daily life.

Colossians 2:9; Matthew 26:64; John 16:8; I Corinthians 3:16; Ephesians 1:13-14
SALVATION
We believe that salvation is of the Lord on the merit of the shed blood of Jesus Christ. Salvation is a free gift which excludes any possible merit on the basis of works. We believe that the two essential elements of salvation are repentance toward God and faith toward the Lord Jesus Christ. We also believe that once a person has been saved that there is no chance of his ever going to hell and that he is
eternally secure in Christ.

Titus 3:5, Acts 2:38, Acts 20:21; Romans 10:9,10, John 3:16,36; 1 John 5:11-13.
THE CHURCH
We believe that the local church, which is the body and the espoused bride of Christ, is solely made up of born-again believers. We believe that the establishment and continuance of local churches is clearly taught and defined in the New Testament.
I Corinthians 12:12-14; II Corinthians 11:2; Ephesians 1:22-23; Acts 14:27;
I Timothy 3:1-13; Titus 1:5-11
CREATION
We believe in and accept by faith the Genesis account of creation. We believe that God created all things including man. Our belief in creation discounts all hypotheses of evolution.
Hebrews 11:3, Genesis 1:1-2, Colossians 1:16
HEAVEN
We believe in a literal heaven where Jesus is today preparing a place for His believers. We believe that only those who have received Jesus Christ into their hearts will be able to enter into heaven. At the moment of death, believers will be with Jesus Christ in heaven.
John 14:1-2, Matthew 7:13,14, 11 Corinthians 5:8
SATAN
We believe that Satan is a real and personal being who is void of truth. We believe also that he is the god of this world who has blinded the eyes of them which believe not and that he is in constant warfare with Christians.
John 8:44, II Corinthians 4:4, Acts 26:18, Ephesians 6:11-12
HELL
We believe in a literal hell of everlasting fire, everlasting destruction and
everlasting punishment.
Matthew 25:41, II Thessalonians 1:9, Matthew 25:46
THE SECOND COMING
We believe in the imminent, pre-millennial, pre-tribulational, and bodily return of Jesus Christ at which time the true Church will meet Him in the air.
Acts 1:11, Matthew 24:42-44, 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18
