Statement of Faith

This Church accepts the Bible as the revealed will of God, the all-sufficient rule of faith and practice, and for the purpose of maintaining general unity of statements of faith.

The Scriptures Inspired.  The Scriptures both Old and New Testament are the inspired, infallible revelation of God to man and the authority of faith and conduct.

The One True God.  The one true God has revealed Himself as the “I AM,” the Creator, and Redeemer of mankind.

The Deity of Jesus.  The Lord Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God.  The Scriptures declare His virgin birth, sinless life, miracles, death and resurrection, and ascension to the right hand of God.

The Salvation of Man.  Man’s only hope is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ.  Salvation is by faith through grace and demonstrated in repentance.

Ordinances of the Church.

(a) Water Baptism.  In the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost and by full immersion.

(b) Holy Communion.  The Lord’s Supper consisting of the Body and Blood represented in the fruit of the vine and bread.

The Baptism of the Holy Spirit.  According to Acts 1:8 and Acts 2:4 with one of the signs being speaking in other tongues along with other gifts.

Sanctification.  The act of separation from that which is evil, and dedication unto God.

The Church and Its Mission.  The Church is the representative of Jesus on earth and is to carry out the Great Commission.

The Ministry.  A divinely called and scripturally ordained minister has been provided by God to lead the church in evangelization, worship, building the body, and general leadership of the church.

Divine Healing.  Is provided for today by the Scriptures and included in the atonement for our sins.

The Blessed Hope.  The resurrection of the just is the blessed hope of the body of Christ.

The Millennial Reign.  The second coming of Christ includes the rapture and a return to earth by Christ with His saints for a thousand year reign.

The Final Judgement.  There will be a final judgment at which all men will be judged.

The New Heaven and Earth.  All of God’s children will reign forever in a new heaven and a new earth.

Statement of Marriage.  We believe that because God our Creator established marriage as a sacred institution between one man and one woman, the idea that marriage is a covenant only between one man and one woman has been the traditional definition of marriage for all of human history (“Traditional Definition of Marriage”).
