What we believe.
“
Statement of Belief #1We believe in one God-the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
“
Statement of Belief #2We believe that the Old and New Testament Scriptures, given by complete inspiration, contain all the truth needed to grow in faith and Christian living.
“
Statement of Belief #3We believe that man is born with a fallen nature, and is, therefore, inclined to evil.
“
Statement of Belief #4We believe that those who are unrepentant are hopelessly and eternally lost.
“
Statement of Belief #5We believe that the atonement through Jesus Christ is for the whole human race; and that whoever repents and believes on the Lord Jesus Christ is made right in relationship with God and is spiritually reborn and is saved from the control of sin.
“
Statement of Belief #6We believe that believers are to be set apart and made holy (sanctified wholly), following spiritual rebirth, through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
“
Statement of Belief #7We believe that the Holy Spirit bears witness to the new birth, and also to the entire sanctification of believers.
“
Statement of Belief #8We believe that our Lord will return, the dead will be raised, and the final judgment will take place.
