.:STATEMENT OF FAITH

1. We believe in the Bible as the Word of God, divinely inspired in its entirety, inerrant in its original writings and the only authority for Christian belief and practice.
   
   
2. The one and only true God exists in three co-equal and co-eternal persons: The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
   
   
3. We believe in Jesus Christ who retained His Deity while becoming a man, being born of a virgin, living a sinless life, and atoning for the sin of men through His death and bodily resurrection. We look forward to His physical and visible return to earth for His followers at His Second Coming.
   
   
4. Satan, being a fallen angel in total opposition to God, exercises his power and authority over the unregenerate through deception and spiritual manipulation.
   
   
5. Every human is hopelessly lost in sin apart from personal acceptance of the spiritual redemption offered in the blood of Jesus Christ. This free gift of salvation is applied to the individual believer separate from any works of righteousness he/she performs.
   
   
6. The Good News of the Gospel by which we are saved consists of the death, burial, and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.
   
   
7. The final state of unbelievers who die in rejection of God’s gift is everlasting punishment away from the presence of God for eternity. True believers who have been born again through the regenerate work of the Holy Spirit are assured of eternal life in the presence of God in both Heaven and the new Earth.
   
   
8. We recognize no single human organization or religious church as being the sole proprietor of spiritual instruction. The Holy Spirit through the Word of God, teaches each one who has placed his/her trust in the sufficiency of Christ. This unity of true born again believers transcends denominational barriers and forms the Body of Christ, united in the Holy Spirit.
