Doctrinal Statement

We believe that the Bible, consisting of all the books of the Old and New Testaments, is the Word of God, a supernaturally given revelation without error or misstatement in moral and spiritual teachings and record of historical facts.

We believe in the Trinity – that the eternal God manifests Himself in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit; and that these three are one God, but separate in personality and work.

We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious death and the atonement through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal and visible return in power and glory.

We believe that man was created in the image of God, he was tempted by Satan and fell, and that because of the exceeding sinfulness of human nature, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely necessary for salvation.

We believe that the Holy Spirit, the Third Person of the Trinity, though omnipresent from all eternity, took up His abode in the world in a special sense on the day of Pentecost according to the divine promise and dwells in every believer and that the gifts of the Spirit and the fruit of the Spirit in the lives of believers are visible demonstrations of His presence.

We believe in the bodily resurrection of both the saved and the lost: those who are saved unto the resurrection of life and those who are lost unto the resurrection of the damnation.

We believe that God’s plan for this age as expressed in the great commission involves the evangelization of the world through the witness of every believer in Jesus Christ, the making of disciples through the teaching of His Word in the local church as a means of accomplishing His purpose.
