Statement of Faith
I believe the Scriptures, both Old and New Testament are verbally inspired by God; the revelation of God to man; the infallible, authoritative rule of faith and conduct. II Tim. 3:5-17
I believe in the Eternal Godhead, who has been revealed as One God existing in three persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit; coequal, coeternal; distinguishable but indivisible. Matt. 28:18
I believe in the creation and fall of mankind. I believe in mankind's total spiritual depravity and inability to attain Divine Righteousness. Rom. 5:12
I believe that Jesus Christ was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, fully God and fully man. I believe that He died on the cross, was buried, and on the third day was bodily resurrected. I believe that He personally appeared to the disciples and bodily ascended into heaven to the right hand of His Father. John 1:18, Isaiah 7:14, I Cor. 15:1-4; Rom. 4:25
I believe in salvation by grace through faith in the perfect and sufficient work of Jesus Christ on the cross of Calvary. Eph. 2:8-9; Heb. 9:12, 22; Rom. 5:11; I Cor. 15:1-4; II Cor. 5:19; Rom. 10:9, 10
I believe that the purposes of the Church are as follows: being a corporate body in which people may worship God, being a channel of God's purposes in the earth, and being an organism for training and equipping the Body of Christ for evangelism, service, and other works of ministry. I Cor. 12:13; Matt. 28:19-20; Mark 16:15-16; Acts. 1:8; Eph. 4:11-16; I Cor. 12:28; I Cor. 14:12
I believe in the present supernatural ministry of the Holy Spirit, including the indwelling, inner workings, and baptism of His person in the believer. I believe in the Spirit-filled life (being in the world but not of the world), in the fear of God as an expression of Christian faith. I believe in the multiplicity of spiritual gifts and supernatural signs that follow those who believe. Some of which include: words of wisdom, words of knowledge, faith, gifts of healing, working of Miracles, prophecy, discerning of spirits, various kinds of tongues, and their interpretation. II Cor. 7:1; Acts 4:30; Rom. 12:1-2; Heb. 2:3-4; Acts 2:1-41; 1 Cor. 12-14
I believe in the resurrection of believers into everlasting life and blessing in Heaven, and the resurrection of unbelievers into everlasting punishment in the torments of Hell. John 3:16; John 5:24; Mark 9:43-48; II Thess. 1:9; Rev. 20:10-15; lohn 5:28-29; I Cor. 15:51-52
I believe in the personal, literal, and bodily return of Jesus Christ in power and glory as the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. I Thess. 4:13-18; Zech. 14:5; Matt. 24:27, 30; Rev. 1:7; Rev. 19:11-14; Rev. 20:1-6
