Statement of Faith
We hold that the Bible, the Holy Word of a
Holy God, was not only free from error in the
originals (which have been lost for centuries)
but also we believe God in His Singular providential
care has KEPT HIS WORD all through the ages, right
down to the present day as found in the King James
Version. We consider this version our final and
absolute authority, above and beyond all other
authorities on earth.
God is one, eternally
existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit,
who are infinite in glory, wisdom, holiness, justice,
power and love.
Jesus Christ is true man and God, who in
His incarnation was conceived of the Holy Spirit and
born of the virgin, Mary. In His earthly ministry
He lived a sinless life, performed miracles, and
died on the cross as a sacrifice for our sins
according to the Scriptures. By the power of God,
He was raised from the dead in the same body now
glorified. He ascended into Heaven where, at the
right hand of God, He continually makes intercession
for us.
The Holy Spirit is co-equal with the Father and
the Son; regenerates the believing sinner;
indwells, guides, instructs and empowers the believer
for Godly living and service; comforts the
children of God. The Holy Spirit guides and gives
power to the church, the body of Christ, to fulfill
the Great Commission, and convicts the world of
sin, righteousness, and judgment.
Man was created in the image and likeness of God;
but through the sin of Adam, man fell into sin and
is, therefore, lost apart from Christ. Except a man
be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
Salvation is the gift of God and includes the
forgiveness of sins, the imputation of the Righteousness
of Jesus Christ, and the gift of eternal life. Union
with the triune God provides all blessings in this life
and the life hereafter. Salvation is received by
faith alone, apart from all good works and merit.
The church is composed of all those regenerated by
the Spirit of God by whom they have been baptized into
one body of whom Christ is the head. The purpose of
the church is to witness concerning Jesus Christ
according to the Scriptures, and to preach the
Gospel among all nations.
Jesus Christ will come again to receive unto
Himself those who believe in Him, that where He is,
they may be also. He will come again personally
and visibly to establish His kingdom.
The resurrection of the believers will be unto
eternal glory, and the resurrection of the unbelievers
will be unto eternal punishment.
