STATEMENT OF FAITH
1. There is one infinite, unchanging, and perfect God — Creator and Sustainer of all things — eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; three in one and one in three.
2. Jesus Christ is truly God and truly man. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, lived a sinless life, and died on the cross — the righteous for the unrighteous — as a substitutionary sacrifice. He is the Savior of all who, in repentance, place their faith in Him and receive Him personally. He rose bodily from the dead in fulfillment of the Holy Scriptures. Today, He is seated at the right hand of God as our High Priest and the only Mediator between God and mankind. He will come again to establish His kingdom of righteousness and peace.
4. The Holy Scriptures, consisting of 66 books divided into the Old and New Testaments, were supernaturally, fully, and dynamically inspired by God in their original form, and thus constitute the infallible Word of God and His complete revelation of the way of salvation for mankind and the only rule of Christian faith and conduct.
5. Man, originally created in the image and likeness of God, fell through disobedience, bringing physical and spiritual death upon the human race. From then on, man is born with a sinful nature, separated from God and on the path to hell.
6. The destiny of the unrepentant and unbelieving is an existence of eternal torment.
7. The destiny of the believer is an existence in spirit, soul, and glorified body, of eternal joy and blessedness in the presence of God.
8. It is God’s will that every believer experience the fullness of the Holy Spirit in their life. This begins with a post-conversion crisis experience and continues progressively through obedience to His Word, thereby receiving the power necessary to live a holy life for the honor and glory of God.
9. God has the power to heal any sickness. Therefore, we pray for the sick, anointing them with oil in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, according to the teachings of God’s Word.
10. The universal Church is made up of the saints of all ages, and Jesus Christ is its head. The Church has been commissioned to preach the Gospel to every creature in all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey all of Christ’s commands.
11. Christ will return bodily to the earth a second time to establish His Kingdom. His coming is imminent, and we believe it will be premillennial.
12. Every believer in Christ, guided by the Holy Spirit, can personally study the Holy Scriptures for the benefit of their spiritual life.
13. God has established civil authority to define and help people observe and fulfill their responsibilities toward one another.
