Statement of Faith

God

There is only One True God (God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob), Elohim who eternally existent in three persons; God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. (Gen. 1:1, 26; John 5:7; Mat. 3:16-17; 28:19).

Jesus Christ

We believe in the Deity of our Lord Jesus Christ (of Nazareth), in His Virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His atoning death on the cross, in His death on the cross, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, in His personal future to this earth in power and glory to rule for a thousand years (Phil. 2:6-11; Col. 1:14-15; 1 Thess. 4:16; Rev. 20:4; Rev. 22:20).

The Holy Spirit

We believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues and with signs following (Acts 2:38-39; Joel 2:28; Acts 1:8; Mrk. 16:17)

The Bible

We believe and accept the Holy Scriptures (the Bible) as the divinely inspired and only infallible and authoritative written word of God (2 Tim. 3:16; 2 Pet. 1:20-21).

Salvation

We believe that “all have sinned and come short of the glory of God” and are subject to eternal punishment; and need repentance and regeneration by the word and the Holy Spirit for personal salvation and sanctification in Christ Jesus (Rom. 3:23; Gen. 3:1-19; John 3:3; 1 Peter 1:23; Tit. 3:5; Acts 17:30; Isa. 53:6). We also believe that the only means of being cleansed from sin is through repentance and faith in the precious blood of Christ (Rom. 3:20-25; 2 Cor. 5:21).

Water Baptism

We believe in water baptism by immersion. (Mat. 3:13-16; Mk. 16:16; Rom. 6:3-4). We do not baptize infants but do dedicate them unto the Lord.

Divine Health

The Church believes that the redemptive work of Christ provides healing from sicknesses and diseases for God’s people which can be appropriated by faith and prayer, or the enjoyment of divine health by the redeemed in Christ (Isa. 53:4-5; 1 Pet. 2:24; Mark 16:18; Jas 5:14-16; Mat. 8:7; John 10:10; 3 John 2). We do not oppose soliciting the help of qualified medical practitioners.

The Rapture

We believe in the blessed hope – the rapture of the Church of Christ’s coming. (1 Thess. 4:15-17)

The Resurrection

We believe in the resurrection of the saved and the lost; the one to everlasting life and the other to everlasting damnation. (John 5: 28-29; Rev. 20:11-15).
