Statement
of Faith
We
Believe:
The Bible is the
inspired and only infallible and authoritative written Word of God.
There is one God,
eternally existent in three persons; God the Father, God the Son, and
God the Holy Spirit.
In the deity of
our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in
His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death, in His bodily resurrection,
in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, in His personal future
return to this earth in power and glory.
In the sanctifying
power of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled
to live a holy and victorious life.
The only means of
being cleansed of sin and receiving the free gift of eternal life is
through repentance and faith in the precious shed blood of Jesus Christ
and accepting Him as Personal Savior and Lord.
