STATEMENT OF FAITH

GOD

We worship and serve the only One True God, who ​revealed Himself in the Bible as three persons in the ​mystery of the Trinity: God the Father, God the Son, ​and God the Holy Spirit (Deuteronomy 6:4, Matthew ​28:19-20).

JESUS

Jesus Christ is the Son of God, being fully God and ​fully man, He was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born ​of the virgin Mary,lived a sinless life but suffered and ​died in the place of sinful man, was buried and ​resurrected, ascended bodily into heaven, and is ​preparing to return bodily in glory to earth a second ​time (John 1:1-14, John 14:1-3, 1 Corinthians 15:3-6, ​Philippians 2:5-11),

HOLY SPIRIT

The Holy Spirit is God, who is actively at work in the ​world. He dwells permanently in every believer, helps ​us to pray, equips and empowers us to serve God, ​strengthens and molds us to be more like Christ, and ​protects us to guarantee our eternal life (Acts 5:34, ​Romans 8:14-16, 26). We believe that the sign gifts, ​especially speaking in tongues and miracle healing, ​were given to authenticate the Apostles' message ​and establish the early church (2 Corinthians 12:12, 1 ​Corinthians 13:10-11), God is Sovereign and may allow ​a miraculous sign, such as tongues, healing, or ​special revelation, particularly where the gospel is ​forbidden or unavailable (1 Corinthians 14:21-22). ​However, these would be counted as miracles, not ​the norm, and we do not expect or promote such ​signs (2 Corinthians 5:7).

THE BIBLE

The Bible is the inspired, inerrant, infallible Word of ​God, so it is our only sure source of knowledge about ​God and His plans and is the final authority and our ​absolute guide for doctrinal teaching and godly living

(2 Timothy 3:16-17, 2 Peter 1:20-21).

ANGELS

Angels are the innumerable and unseen creatures ​who serve the causes of God and His people. Satan ​and demons are fallen angels who promote ​wickedness and oppose God's purposes, doomed ​and awaiting their final judgment (Isaiah 14:12-17, ​Hebrews 1:6-14).

MAN

God created man, male and female, in His image. ​Man was originally sinless, but through Adam, all ​mankind sinned, became condemned, separated ​from God, and was rendered totally unable to gain ​God's favor of forgiveness and eternal life (Genesis ​1:26-27, Romans 5:12-14).

SALVATION

Salvation is God's act of forgiving sins, reconciling ​people to Himself, and giving a new nature and ​eternal life to those who put their trust in the finished ​work of Jesus Christ. Salvation is not a reward for ​good works but a free gift of God received by grace ​through faith in Christ alone and secured eternally by ​the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit (Ephesians ​1:13-14, Ephesians 2:1-10, 1 John 5:11-13).

THE CHURCH

The Church is the universal Body of Christ, ​consisting of all born-again Christians united by the ​indwelling Holy Spirit. A member of a local church ​must have undergone baptism by immersion, ​participate in Communion, and help fulfill the church ​mission to make disciples of all nations (Matthew ​28:18-20, Acts 2:41, 1 Corinthians 11:17-34,

1 Corinthians 12:13).

THE END TIMES

Jesus Christ will come again to reign on earth, to ​reward God's people with life with Him forever in the ​new heaven and earth, and to judge unbelievers with ​eternal separation from God and suffering in hell

(Revelation 20:1-4, Revelation 21:6-8).

THE BIBLE AS THE FINAL AUTHORITY ​ON MATTERS OF FAITH AND CONDUCT

This Doctrinal Statement does not exhaust the extent ​of our beliefs, the Bible itself, as the inspired and ​infallible Word of God that speaks with final authority ​concerning truth, morality, and the proper conduct of ​mankind, is the sole and final source of all that we ​believe.
