Statement of Faith
-
1. We believe in the scriptures of the Old and New Testaments as being verbally inspired by God. They are the supreme and final authority by which all human opinions, creeds or conduct shall be tried and judged.
2. We believe that Jesus Christ was begotten by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, and is both true God and true man.
3. 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 basis of His blood shed on Calvary’s cross.
4. We believe in water baptism following an individual’s salvation experience. We follow the example of Jesus by being fully immersed in water. We also baptize according to Matthew 28:19: …in the name of the Father, of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
5. We believe in the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ who has ascended into heaven, and ever lives to intercede for us.
6. We believe in the rapture of the church and the second coming of Jesus Christ.
7. We believe that all who have received by faith the Lord Jesus Christ as their Lord are born again of the Holy Spirit and have become children of God and members of the body of Christ.
8. We believe in the baptism in the Holy Spirit, a second experience subsequent to salvation, for believers who have already been born again. The baptism of the Holy Spirit anoints the child of God with power to witness and supernatural strength to live the crucified life.
9. We believe in healing, deliverance and prosperity for the whole man: spirit, soul and body.
10. We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
