STATEMENT OF FAITH
1. We believe the Bible is the inspired word of God. The Transmission of the Greek and Hebrew Text have faithfully preserved God's word and the Doctrine within it is without contradiction. The Bible reveals to us the nature of our God, how to come to know and belong to Him also the manner in which we should live. 2 Tim.3:16, 2 Pet.3:16, Is.40:8, Jn.20:31, Rom.15:4
2. We believe the doctrine commonly referred to as the Trinity meaning there is only one living and true God that exist as three persons, God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. Is.44:8, Is.48:12-16, Rom.1:7, Jn.1:1-14, Acts 5:3-4
3. We believe that Jesus Christ is the promised Messiah as foretold of in the Old Testament. He was born miraculously to the Virgin Mary when the Holy Spirit came upon her and the power of the Most High overshadowed her and for that reason the holy offspring was called the Son of God. Dan.9:25, Jn.4:25-26, Lk.1:35
4. We believe that the Gospel of Jesus Christ is that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He was literally physically and bodily raised from the dead on the third day according to the Scriptures and as He himself said He would. He is today at the right hand of the Father interceding for those who belong to him. 1 Cor.15:1-4, Jn.2:19-22 & 10:14-18, Acts 2:23-33, Ps.16:10, Lk.22:69, Mk.16:19, 1 Tim.2:5-6, Heb.7:25
5. We believe that all mankind are born with a sinful nature every since Adams Transgression. No one by their own deeds or merits has ever been or ever will be good enough to be with the Lord in the life to come. Rom.5:14-21, Is.64:6, Ps.39:5, Rom.3:19-28, 1 Jn.1:10, Phil.3:3-9
6. We believe that eternal life is a free gift of God, which cannot be earned it, is received by those who have accepted Jesus payment for their sins on the cross. These people that have accepted Jesus and his payment are changed people and are spiritually re-born adopted into the family of God. Eph.2:8, Rom.3:19-28, 2 Cor.5:17, Jn.3:3, Gal.4:5, Rom.8:13-17, 1 Pet.2:24
7. We believe that Satan and his fallen angels are real, Hell is a literal place that was prepared for them. There is now at this time spiritual warfare taking place here on the earth. Mt.4:1-10, Js.2:19, Mt25:41, Mt.10:28,Mk.9:43-48, Eph.6:11-18, 2 Cor.10:4
8. We believe that Jesus Christ will again bodily return and no one knows exactly when this will take place but it will indeed happen the same as all of the rest of prophecy in the Bible. All of which has not yet been fulfilled will be fulfilled. Acts 1:9-11, Rev.1:7, Mt.24:36, Mt.5:18, Ezek.12:25, Hab.2:2-3, Duet.18:21-22
