Our Beliefs

We believe the Bible, both the Old ad New Testaments to be the Word of God. We believe it to be Divinely inspired by the Holy Spirit. We further believe that its declarations are final. And that it is the only true rule of faith and practice 

We believe that the scriptures of both the Old and New Testaments are, in their original autographs, wholly and verbally given by God and are, therefore, free from error or fault. Furthermore, the Bible is without error in all of its teachings. This is true no less when it speaks about creation, science, geography, or world history than when it reveals the condition of man and God’s plan of salvation. While the Bible is not specifically a textbook on science, history, mathematics, or geography, we are convinced that whatever statements it makes within the scope of any of these subjects is without error.  

We believe that God exists in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, three Persons, one  God. We believe He is self-existent, infinite, personal, unchangeable and eternal in His being. He is perfect in holiness, love, justice, goodness, wisdom and truth. He is omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent. He is the Creator and Sustainer of all things, visible and invisible   

We believe in the Deity of Jesus Christ; in His eternity; in His incarnation by the virgin birth; thus, uniting perfect man and perfect God in one body. We believe also in His sinless life; in His vicarious death; and bodily resurrection from the dead; in His ascension to the right hand of the Father. We further believe in His present ministry of advocacy; and His coming again in power and glory. 

We believe the Holy Spirit to be the third Person of the blessed Trinity. He is eternally God. His office work is to reprove the world of sin, of righteousness and of judgment. We believe the Holy Spirit to be a Person, who regenerates, sanctifies, empowers, teaches, guides, and comforts. He is at work in the world as a witness to Christ, as the builder of the Church, and as the indweller of the brethren. 

We believe that man was created by the direct act of God, in His image, possessing personality and the right of choice. In his original state, man enjoyed fellowship with God. We further believe that man chose not to remain in the happy state in which God created him; being tempted by Satan, he became disobedient and incurred upon himself and his posterity the sentence that sin deserved. We further believe that man, in his natural state, cannot please God.   

We believe that God has provided redemption for all men through the death of the Lord Jesus Christ on the cross. We further believe that since man cannot save himself, God has provided the perfect offering for sin in Christ. 

We believe that sanctification is the work of the Holy Spirit in the heart, setting apart or consecrating for a task, producing holiness in heart and the life. 

We believe that Jesus Christ will come again bodily and visibly to the earth to reign and to complete the work of redemption. This is the great source of motivation for purification and holiness and inspiration for Christian service.

We believe in the general bodily resurrection from the dead of both the just and the unjust to stand before the Lord in judgment. Those who belong to Christ will be granted eternal life and heaven, while those found not belonging to Christ will be banished from the presence of God forever in hell.
