What We Believe
This is our Statement of Faith
The Holy Bible is the inspired Word of God, and Scripture cannot be broken. (2 Tim. 3:16-17; 2 Pet. 1:20-21). We believe in one true God eternally existing in three distinct persons (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) each of Whom is fully and equally God; possesses all of the divine nature and attributes, and is totally worthy of our worship and service ( Deut. 6:4; Matt. 28:19; John 1:14; John 10:30; 2 Cor. 13:14).
We believe that the shed blood of Jesus Christ on the cross provides the sole basis for forgiveness of sins and salvation, which is the free gift of God’s grace. (Eph. 1:7, 13-14; John 1:12-13; John 3:1-7).
We believe that every Christian should live for Christ and not for himself and should, by the power of the indwelling Spirit, allow Christ to manifest His life through him to God’s glory.(Gal. 2:20; 1 Pet. 1:15-16, 1 Pet. 2:11; 2 Cor. 5:14-15; Rom. 6:11-13).
We believe that the Church is the body of Christ, of which Jesus is the Head and whose members are those who have truly received Christ by faith. The local church is a tangible expression of the body of Christ in a particular location. Since all members of the body of Christ are united in Christ by the same Spirit, they should live in love, harmony and unity, being intent on the same purpose and accepting those sectarian or denominational practices which are based on a sincere interpretation of the Bible, which do not relate to substantive doctrinal matters, and which do not in practice cause disunity or hinder the ministry.
The purpose of the Church is to make Christ known to lost men and women and to make disciples, and glorify God on earth (Acts 1:8; 1 Cor.12:12-27; Eph 1:20-23; Eph 4:1-6; Eph. 4:12-16; Matt. 28:18-20; John 17; Col. 1:24-29.)
