Statement of Faith
We believe
in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments as verbally inspired by
God and inerrant in the original writings and that they are of supreme
and final authority in faith and life.
We
believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son,
and Holy Spirit.
We
believe that Jesus Christ was begotten by the Holy Spirit and born of
the virgin Mary and is true God and true man.
We
believe that man was created in the image of God; that he sinned and
thereby incurred not only physical death, but spiritual death which is
separation from God; and that all human beings are born with a sinful
nature, and in case of those who reach moral responsibility become
sinners in thought, word, and deed.
We
believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins, according to the
Scriptures, as a representative and substitute sacrifice and that they
that believe in Him are justified on the ground of His shed blood.
We
believe in the resurrection of the crucified body of our Lord and His
ascension into heaven and in His present life there for us as High
Priest Advocate.
We
believe in that "blessed hope", the personal, pre-millennial and
imminent return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
We
believe that all who receive by faith the Lord Jesus Christ are born
again of the Holy Spirit and thereby become children of God.
We
believe in the bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust; in the
everlasting blessedness of the saved; and the everlasting conscious
punishment of the lost.
