Statement of Faith
- We believe that all the words of Scripture, as originally given,
were inspired by God (2 Tim. 3:16; 1 Cor. 2:13)
- We believe that God has revealed Himself as One God existing in
three persons--Father, Son and Holy Spirit--distinguishable but
indivisible (Mat. 28:19; 2 Cor. 13:14)
- We believe in the creation and the test and fall of man as
recorded in Genesis, which led to man's total depravity and
inability to attain to righteousness on his own (Rom. 5:12,18)
- We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin
birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles and healings, in His
vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily
resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and
in His personal return in power and glory
- We believe in the salvation of sinners by grace through repentance
and faith in the perfect and sufficient work of the cross of Calvary
by which we obtain remission of sins (Eph. 2:8-9; Heb. 9:12,22; Rom.
5:11)
- We believe in water baptism for the believer in order to fulfill
the command of Christ (Mat. 28:19; Acts 2:37-41; Gal. 3:14)
- We believe in the Baptism of the Holy Spirit as an experience
subsequent to salvation as is given to all believers who in faith
ask for it (Acts 2:1-4; 8:14-17, 10:44-46; Gal. 3:14)
- We believe in the operation of the gifts of the Spirit as
manifested in the early church (1 Cor. 12-14)
- We believe in Eternal Life for the believer (Jn. 5:24; 3:16) and
Eternal punishment for the unbeliever (Mk. 9:43-50; 2 Thes. 1:9)
- We believe in the reality and personality of satan and the eternal
judgment of satan and his angels (Mat. 25:41; Rev. 20:10-15)
- We believe any servant in this ministry must be yielded to the
Holy Spirit, seek an increase in the anointing, be open to operate
in any gift of the spirit that is necessary, draw daily from the
Word and prayer and continually give God the glory
