Statement of Faith

1. We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God.     (Psalm 19:7-10; 119:89,105; Isaiah 40:8; Jeremiah 15:16; Matthew 5:17-18; John 17:17; 2 Timothy 3:15-17; Hebrews 4:12; 2 Peter 1:19-21)

2. We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons; Father, Son and Holy Spirit. (Genesis 1:26; John 1:18; John 10:30; John 14:9; John 14:16,17; John 15:26; 2 Corinthians 3:17,18;  I Timothy 1:17; Hebrews 1:1-3; I Peter 1:2)

3. We believe 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 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. (John 1:1, 14; Colossians 1:17; Philippians 2:6;  Isaiah 7:14; Matthew. 1:23; Luke 1:35;Hebrews 4:15;  2 Corinthians 5:21; I Peter 2:22; I John 3:5; Acts 2:22; Romans 4:25; Romans 5:6, 8; Romans 8:3; Hebrews 9:12,14; Hebrews 10:19; Hebrews 13:20; Acts 5:31; 2:33; I Corinthians 15:57; I Thessalonians 4:14-17; Philippians 3:20, 21; 2 Thessalonians 2:1; Jude 1:14)

4. We believe for the salvation of lost and sinful humanity, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential. (John 3:5; Act 2:38; I Corinthians 12:13; 2 Corinthians 5:5; Romans 8:8-17; I John 4:13; Titus 3:5)

5. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life. (John 7:38-39; John 14:16-17; Romans 5:5; Romans 8:9-11; I Corinthians 12:3-11; Galatians 5:22-25; Titus 3:5)

6. We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; the first to eternal life with God and the other to everlasting condemnation and separation from God. (John 5:29; Revelation 20:11-15)

7. We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ. (John 17:20-21; Romans 15:5,6; I Peter 3:8; Philippians 2:2-5; I Corinthians 1:10-13;Ephesians 4:2-6)
