Statement Of Faith

We believe the Bible is the inspired word of God. It is the authoritative guide for Christian faith and practice. There is only one God. He created the world and exists in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. We believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He was born of the Virgin Mary and lived a sinless life. He died on the cross as a sacrifice for our sins.  He arose from the dead and ascended into heaven and is now seated at the right hand of the Father. He will return again to establish his eternal kingdom. He will judge the world, reward the saints, and rule for all eternity. We believe the Holy Spirit is the Promise of the Father, our Comforter sent to convent the world of sin, which places the believer in the Body of Christ, indwells the believer, and bestows spiritual gifts to the church. We believe the baptism of the Holy Spirit is for all believers as a definite endowment of power for service and is subsequent to and separate from conversion. We believe that the ordinances of the church, by the command of Christ, are Water Baptism by immersion and the Lord's Supper, both of which are administered to those who are born again. We believe in the eternal salvation of believers and in the eternal damnation and punishment of nonbelievers. We believe the consummation all things include Christ return to rapture His church. Immediately following this event will be the seven-year tribulation period. Concluding this, Christ will come again to the earth and establish His rule for a 1,000 year period. The great White Throne judgment of the unsaved, coupled with Satan being cast into the lake of fire, will then allow Christ to establish a New Heaven and a New Earth.
