Statement of Faith

1. The Holy Scriptures as originally given by God are divinely inspired, infallible, entirely trustworthy, and constitute the only supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct.
2. There is one God, eternally existent in three Persons - Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
3. Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God. We affirm His virgin birth, His sinless human life, His death and resurrection, atoning for sin and reconciling humans to God, His ascension, His ongoing intercession for His own, and His personal return in power and glory.
4. The salvation of lost and sinful humanity is possible through the shed blood of Jesus Christ, by grace through faith, characterized by a transformation of a person's life through the Holy Spirit.
5. The Holy Spirit enables the believer to live a life of righteousness and empowers him/her to a life of service.
6. The Church, the body of Christ, consists of all true believers.
7. Ultimately, God will judge the living and the dead: those who are saved unto the resurrection of life, those who are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.
