STATEMENT OF FAITH
As we walk in our ministry, we commit to love the Lord our God with all our hearts, with all our souls, and with all our minds, and to love our neighbor as ourselves (Matthew 22:37, 39). We also commit ourselves, as Jesus instructed, to go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey everything he has commanded us (Matthew 28: 19-20).
1. We believe that the Scriptures, both the Old and New Testaments, are the inspired Word of God, without error in the original writing, the complete revelation of His will for the salvation of men, and the divine and final authority for faith and Christian life (2nd Timothy 3: 16-17).
2.We believe in one God, creator of all things, infinitely perfect and eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit (Genesis 1:1; Colossians 2:9).
3.We believe that Jesus Christ is the true God and true man, having been conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He died on the cross as a sacrifice for our sins, according to the scriptures. Furthermore, He rose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven, where, at the right hand of the Father, is now our High Priest and Advocate (1st Corinthians 15:3-4 ; 1st John 2: 1 , Luke 1: 35).
4. We believe that the ministry of the Holy Spirit is to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ., and during this time for
condemn men, regenerate the sinner who believes, dwell, guide, instruct, and train the believer for a pious life and service (John 16: 7-14).
5.We believe that man was created in the image of God but fell into sin and is therefore lost (Genesis 1: 27, Romans 5:12).
6.We believe that the shed blood of Jesus Christ and his resurrection provide the only basis for the
justification and salvation for all who believe, and only those who accept Jesus Christ are born of the Holy Spirit, and therefore become children of God (Hebrews 9: 22, Romans 5: 1 , John 3: 3, John 3:16).
7.We believe that the Lord's Supper and Baptism in Water by immersion are ordinances that must be observed by the Church during the current era. However, they should not be considered as a means of salvation. (1st Corinthians 11: 23-26; Matthew 19:20).
8.We believe that the true Church is made up of all the people who, through saving faith in Jesus Christ, have been regenerated by the Holy Spirit and are baptized into the body of Christ, who is the head of the church (1st Corinthians 12:13 , Ephesians 4: 1-6, Titus 3:5).
9. We believe that only those who are members of the true Church are eligible for membership in the local church (Acts 2:47).
10.We believe that Jesus Christ is the Lord and Head of the Church (Ephesians 1:22; Colossians 1:18).
11. We believe in the personal and imminent coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and that this "Blessed Hope" has a vital influence on the believer's personal life and service (Acts 1: 11; 1st Thessalonians 4: 14 –16 ; 1st John 3: 1-3).
12.We believe in the resurrection of the dead, of the believer to eternal bliss and joy with the Lord, from the unbeliever to judgment and conscious eternal punishment (2nd Corinthians 5: 10 ; Revelations 20: 15, 2nd Thessalonians 1: 8-10).
