Statement of Faith

ONE HOLY GOD eternally existent in three persons: the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Deuteronomy 6:4, Matthew 28:19, Luke :22, John 14:16-17

THE HOLY BIBLE is the inspired, infallible, authoritative source of Christian belief and teaching. 2 Timothy 3:15-17, 1 Thessalonians 2:13, 2 Peter 1:21

MAN is created in the image of God but fallen, lost, and powerless to save himself. Genesis 1:26-27, 2:17. 3:6, Romans 5:12-19

JESUS CHRIST is the virgin-born Son of God, crucified to take upon Himself the punishment for the sin of all mankind. Arose from the dead, thereby conquering sin, death, and the grave. Jesus will personally return to the earth in power and glory. Matthew 1:23, Luke 1:31, Luke 1:35, Hebrew 7:26, 1 Corinthians 15:3, 2 Corinthians 5:21, Matthew 28:6, 1 Corinthians 15:4

MAN’S ONLY HOPE: Believe in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. Romans 10:9-13, Ephesians 2:8-10, Luke 24:47

WHAT WE CELEBRATE: Water Baptism and Holy Communion are among the ways we celebrate our hope in Jesus Christ. Matthew 28:19, Mark 16:16, 1 Corinthians 11:23-26

HEALING. Consistent with His earthly ministry, Jesus Christ still offers healing for the physical, relational, and emotional pain in our lives. 1 Peter 2:24, Isaiah 53:4-5, Matthew 8:16-17, James 5:14-16

THE HOLY SPIRIT indwells those who receive Christ and empowers believers to live righteous and holy lives. We believe in the Baptism of the Holy Spirit along with its evidences, and the Gifts of the Spirit are available to believers today. Acts 2:4, Luke 24:49, John 14, John 16, 1 Corinthians 12:14

LIFESTYLE: When a life is changed by the love of Christ, we begin a journey of becoming like Christ. It is displayed inwardly with love, joy, and peace. It is displayed outwardly in lives of integrity and is shown relationally by love and grace. Romans 12:1-3, Hebrews 12:1-2, 1 Thessalonians 5:23

SOMEDAY: Life, as we know it, will come to an end. Jesus will return and show Himself to be “King of Kings.” Everyone will be held accountable for the choices of their lives. A permanent, personal relationship with God, without the influence of evil and pain will be established for all who choose Christ. (Heaven) 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17, Romans 8:23, 1 Corinthians 15:51-52

CHURCH: The Body of Christ, of which Jesus Christ is the head, is comprised of all those who, through belief in Christ, have been spiritually changed by the personal work of the Holy Spirit. Believers are called to pursue God’s mission, both collectively and individually. For some it is a vocation (pastors, missionaries, etc) for all it is a passion. Ephesians 1:22-23, Ephesians 2:22, Hebrews 12:23, Ephesians 4:11-16
