Statement of Faith

We believe that God is the Eternal King. One God, creator of all things who exists in three distinct persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We believe that all scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.

We believe that God's kingdom is everlasting.

We believe that Satan, originally a great, good angel, rebelled against God, taking a host of angels with him. He was cast out of God's presence and, as a usurper of God's rule established a counter kingdom of darkness and evil on earth.

We believe that Jesus Christ was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He was crucified and died, was buried and resurrected. He ascended into heaven from where He will return to judge both the living and the dead.

We believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit and His ongoing ministry; by whose indwelling the Christian is empowered to live a godly life and be conformed to the image of Jesus Christ.

We believe that God created mankind in His image, male and female, for relationship with Himself and to govern the earth.

We believe that the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, provides the sole basis for the forgiveness of sin. Therefore, God freely offers salvation to all who repent of their sin and place their faith in the completed work of Jesus Christ.
