Statement of Beliefs

  • The Scriptures are verbally inspired by God, and are for our faith and conduct.


  • There is one true God consisting of three interrelated persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.


  • The Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, has always existed and is our only Lord and Savior.


  • The human race was created good and upright by God, but fell from innocence by deliberate choice.


  • Salvation from human falleness is available through the amnesty provided by the Lord Jesus Christ upon the Cross.


  • There are two ordinances of the church: Water Baptism and Holy Communion.


  • The Baptism of the Holy Spirit is a second work of grace, following the experience of the new birth, and is available to all Christians.


  • Sanctification is a process of separation from sin and devotion to God.


  • The Church is the body of Christ on earth and serves the purpose of exalting God, edifying believers, and evangelizing the world.


  • Every believer is gifted by God, and is called to be involved in the utilization of individual spiritual gifts for the betterment of God's collective people, the Church.


  • Divine healing is possible through believing prayer, in the name of Jesus.


  • There is coming a day of final judgment, both for those who have accepted and those who have rejected Christ.


  • All Christ-followers are to look forward to the day when they shall be resurrected, and be with God forever.
