Our Statement of Faith
God is the true and living God who revealed Himself through Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. We accept the Bible as God’s infallible Word and our only rule of faith and practice. We accept Jesus Christ as God’s divine Son, conceived by the Holy Spirit, virgin born, who died on the cross as the substitutional sacrifice for our sin.
He arose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven where He is now our interceding Priest. He will come again to judge the living and the dead.
Man was created in the image of God, but fell into sin. We have all sinned in our own right and need a Savior to save us from the penalty of our sins. Salvation is by God’s grace through faith in Jesus Christ.
Human Sexuality: Legitimate sexual relations are exercised solely within marriage. Marriage is a profound spiritual institution established by God. This church recognizes marriage as exclusively the legal union of one man and one woman in which such union is a lifetime commitment.
The church is a body of believers, who, by the influence of the Holy Spirit, were baptized into one body. We accept, as Christians, those who have been born again. We baptize by immersion only and receive into our membership only penitent, baptized (immersed) believers. Baptism, following a profession of faith in Jesus Christ, is an act of obedience to Christ entered into by the believer through the work of the Holy Spirit.
