Statement of Faith

We believe that the Holy Bible is the inspired, infallible, and authoritative source of Christian doctrine and precept.

We believe there is one God, eternally existent in three persons:  Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

We believe that man was created in the image of God, but as a result of sin is lost and powerless to save himself.

We believe that the only hope for man is to believe in Jesus Christ, the virgin-born Son of God, who died to take upon himself the punishment for the sin of mankind and who rose from the dead, so that by receiving him as Savior and Lord, man is redeemed by his blood.

We believe that Jesus Christ, in person, will return to earth in power and glory.

We believe that the Holy Spirit indwells those who have received Christ for the purpose of enabling them to live righteous and godly lives.

We believe that the Church if the Body of Christ and is comprised of all who, through belief in Christ, have been spiritually regenerated by the indwelling Holy Spirit.  It is the responsibility of the church to nurture Christians and to spread the Word of Jesus Christ worldwide.
