Doctrinal Statement
We believe the total scriptures of
the Old and New testament to be the verbally-inspired, inerrant
& infallible Word of God in their original writing, & that they
are the only infallible rule for faith & life.
We believe in one Sovereign God,
eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son & Holy Spirit.>We believe that Jesus Christ was
begotten by the Holy Spirit & born of the Virgin Mary, true &
sinless man, true & perfect God.
We believe that man was created in
the image of God, that by sin he fell, bringing upon himself and
upon the entire human race both physical death and separation
from God, which is spiritual death.
We believe that the Lord Jesus
Christ died for our sins as a substitutionary sacrifice, and
that all who believe in Him are justified on the ground of his
shed blood.
We believe in the resurrection of
the crucified body of our Lord as the first fruit of the
believer’s resurrection, in His ascension into Heaven, and in
His present ministry at God’s right hand as the believer’s high
priest and advocate.
We believe in the imminent,
pre-millennial return of the Lord Jesus Christ to take the
Church to Heaven, and in His subsequent post-tribulational
return in power and great glory to establish His literal
millennial kingdom upon the earth.
We believe that the individual is
saved entirely by the Grace of God, through faith alone, and
that good works follow salvation as an evidence of it, and do
not proceed it as the means of it.
We believe that salvation is an
irrevocable covenant which God makes with the individual
believer, and that once bestowed, it is never withdrawn.
We believe
in the bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust, the
everlasting blessedness of the saved and the everlasting
punishment of the lost.
