Statement of Faith
We believe that:
The Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments, as originally given, are
the inerrant, inspired Word of God; that they are infallible, and the
final authority of faith and life.
Before anything else existed, Jesus Christ was with the one God, eternally
existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; that He created
the universe and is the binding force that holds it together; that He
is the source of eternal Life.
Jesus Christ, without any change in His eternal diety, through virgin
birth conceived of the Holy Spirt, became man, coming to earth to fulfill
a divine plan for the redemption of fallen mankind through the shedding
of His blood and death on the cross, as a perfect and complete sacrifice;
that He was resurrected in His crucified body, ascended into heaven,
and abides there as our High Priest and Advocate.
God created Adam, who, having been tempted by Satan, disobeyed God;
that by his sin he thereby imputed guilt and condemnation to all mankind.
Salvation is freely given by the grace of God, entirely apart from works;
that it comes only through the redeeming blood and can be posessed by
anyone who receives Jesus Christ by faith as personal Lord and Saviour.
The saved will spend eternity in heaven with Jesus, and the unsaved
will receive everlasting conscious punishment in hell.
Christ commissioned all believers to proclaim the Gospel at home and
in all parts of the world, that all may have the opportunity to accept
Him as Saviour.
The personal return of Christ is imminent. When it occurs it will be
abvious to everyone and there will be no doubt that it is He.
"So then faith cometh by hearing, and
hearing by the word of God." (Romans 10:17)
"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves:
it is the gift of God; Not of works, lest any man should boast."
(Ephesians 2:8-9)
