Our
Statement of Faith
1. We
believe in the Scripture of the Old and New Testaments as verbally
inspired by God, inerrant in the original writings, and that they are of
supreme and final authority in faith and life.
2. We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father,
Son and Holy Spirit.
3. We believe that Jesus Christ was begotten by the Holy Spirit and born
of the virgin Mary, and is true God and true man.
4. We believe that man was created in the image of God; that he sinned
and thereby incurred not only physical death but also spiritual death,
which is separation from God; and that all human beings are born with a
sinful nature and, in the case of those who reach moral responsibility,
become sinners in thought, word and deed.
5. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins, according to
the Scriptures, as a representative and substitutionary sacrifice, and
that all who believe in Him are justified on the ground of His shed
blood.
6. We believe in the resurrection of the crucified body of our Lord, in
His ascension into Heaven, and in His present life there for us as High
Priest and Advocate.
7. We believe in that blessed hope, the personal imminent return of our
Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
8. We believe that all those who receive by faith the Lord Jesus Christ
are born again of the Holy Spirit and thereby become children of God.
