Statement of Faith

  1. We believe in one God, who exists in three Persons – the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. He is loving, holy, and just.
  2. We believe that the Bible is the Word of God and serves as the accurate and perfect guide for all matters in life.
  3. We believe that sin has separated human from God, and only through Jesus Christ can mankind be reconciled with Him.
  4. We believe that Jesus Christ is God who took the form of a servant and became like man, conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He who knew no sin was made to be sin for us; He was crucified, died, and was buried, descended into the realm of the dead, and on the third day He rose from the dead, ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty. He will come again to judge the living and the dead.
  5. We believe that by grace, mankind is saved through faith; it is not the result of human effort or works, but the gift of God.
  6. We believe that water baptism is a proclamation of faith, symbolizing the believer’s identification with the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus.
  7. We believe that the Holy Spirit is the Comforter, the Helper, and the Seal upon every believer.
  8. We believe that Holy Communion is to be observed as a remembrance of Jesus.
  9. We believe that we are called to fulfill the Great Commission of the Lord Jesus Christ.
