Statement of Faith
God
We believe God is
Triune: Father, Son and Holy Spirit (2 Corinthians 13:14);
Jesus Christ
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, I His ascension to the right hand of the Father, in His
present rule as Head of the Church and in His personal return in power and
glory (Matthew 1:18-25; Matthew 2:1,2);
Holy Spirit
We believe that
the Holy Spirit is present and active in the world. The Holy Spirit was
given to the Church in His fullness at Pentecost. By the Spirit, Christ
lives in His Church, the gospel is proclaimed, and the kingdom of God is
manifested in the world (Acts 2:1);
The Bible
We believe the Bible is God-inspired, the only
infallible Word of God (2 Timothy 3:16,17);
The Plan of Salvation
We believe that while we were yet sinners Christ died
for us, signing the pardon of all who believe on Him (John 3:16; Romans
5:8). We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost, they
that are saved unto the resurrection of life and they that are lost unto the
resurrection of damnation.
The Church
We believe that the Church is the people of God
composed of all those who believe in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. The
Church is Christ’s body; it is visible in the world wherever believers, in
obedience of faith, hear the Word and live as disciples (Acts 16:5; Hebrews
10:25);
Evangelism
We believe that soul winning is an important
responsibility of the Church (Matthew 28:18-20; James 5:20).
God’s Ultimate
Victory
We believe in God’s ultimate victory over Satan and all
evil, and the establishment of His perfect kingdom in a new heaven and a new
earth (Revelation 20:10,15; Revelation 21:1-4) |
