TRINITY STATEMENTS OF FAITH
THE BIBLE
We believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God (2 Timothy 3:15-17).
GOD
We believe there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit (Deuteronomy 6:4; Luke 3:21,22).
JESUS
We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His atoning death, His bodily resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and His future return to this earth in power and glory (John 1:1; Matthew 1:23; 1 Peter 2:22).
SIN
We believe although created good and upright, mankind transgressed God's command and fell into a condition of moral and spiritual depravity (Genesis 3:6; Romans 5:12-19).
SALVATION
We believe the only means of being cleansed from sin is through repentance and faith in the precious blood of Jesus (Luke 24:47; Romans 5:6-17). When an individual repents of sin and trusts Jesus as Savior, the Holy Spirit comes into that individual and he/she is born again (John 3:3; 2 Corinthians 5:17). The indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit enables the believer to live a holy life (Romans 8; Galatians 5:16-18).
HOLY SPIRIT
We believe the Baptism in the Holy Spirit is given to born again believers as empowerment for Christian service (Acts 1:8). This experience is accompanied with speaking in tongues and other supernatural manifestations (Acts 2:1-4; 1 Corinthians 12:7-11).
DIVINE HEALING
We believe the redemptive work of Christ on the cross provides healing for the human body in answer to believing prayer (Isaiah 53:4,5; Matthew 8:16, 17; James 5:14).
BAPTISM & THE LORD’S SUPPER
We believe Christ instituted two ordinances for the Church: The Lord's Supper and water baptism by immersion (1 Corinthians 11:26; Matthew 28:19; Romans 6:4.
CHRIST’S RETURN
We believe our blessed hope is the resurrection and rapture of the church at Christ's coming (1 Thessalonians 4:16,17).
ETERNAL LIFE
We believe in the final resurrection of all the dead: the saved to eternal life and the lost to the judgement of God (Revelation 20:4-6; 11-15).
