STATEMENT OF FAITH

The Essence of Christianity

The essence of the gospel message is that God has achieved eternal salvation for all who will believe, through the work of the sinless Son of God, the Lord Jesus Christ, who died on the cross of Calvary as the sin bearer of the world. In a word, salvation was accomplished for men by the substitutionary atonement of Jesus Christ.

Statement of Faith:

We believe the Bible to be the inspired and only infallible, authoritative written word of God.

We believe there is one God, eternally existent in three persons:

I. God the Father

II. God the Son

III. God the Holy Spirit

We believe in the deity of Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His personal return in power and glory.

We believe in the in filling of the Holy Spirit with the present day manifestation of the gifts of the Spirit.

We believe in the resurrection of the saved and the lost: the saved to the resurrection of life, and the lost damnation.

We believe in the importance and power of Water Baptism according to the scriptures.

We believe that it is the primary responsibility of the local pastors and Christian leaders to show evidence of God's compassion as "salt and light" to the world.

We believe that the body of Christ is at its absolute best only when we function and move as One Body motivated by obedience to God and love for mankind.
