Statement of Faith

  • We believe the Bible to be the inspired and only infallible, authoritative Word of God.  Tim 3: 16&17

  • We believe in the triune Godhead as eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.   II Co 13:14

  • We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious death and atonement through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His present priestly ministry.  I Tim 3:16, Rom. 3:25&26

  • We believe in the Baptism in the Holy Spirit, as on the day of Pentecost, in the continuing ministry of the Holy Spirit as evidenced in charismatic gifts and ministries, and in the fruit of the Holy Spirit in the believer’s life.  Acts 2:4, 10:6, 19:6, Eph 4:11, I Co 12:8-11, Gal 5:22&23
