FAITH

Statement of Faith
We believe in the verbal,plenary inspiration of the Bible.
We believe in one God,Creator of all things eternally existing in three persons:Father,Son,and Holy Spirit.
We believe in the virgin birth of Jesus Christ,His sacrificial death on the cross and shedding of His blood for our sins,His resurrection from the dead,and His ascension into heaven where He is now our High Priest and Advocate.
We belive in the total depravity of man and the sufficiency of Jesus's redemptive act to restore man to his right ralationship to God.
We believe in the eternal punishment in hell for the lost and the eternal bliss in heaven with the Lord for the saved.
We believe in the personal,pre-tirbulation,pre-millennial,and imminent coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
We believe in the eternal security of all believers.
We believe that God the Holy Spirit reproves the world of sin,righteousness,and judgment,regenerates sinners into children of God,and indwells every believer bestowing His gifts for the perfecting of the saints today as our Comforter.
We believe that the charismatic gifts(speaking in tongues and the working of sings and miracles) in the beginning days of the church were for the purpose of pointing to the authentication of the church and the apostles as revealers of divine truth,and were never intended to be characteristic of the lives of believers.
We believe that Christ is the head of the church and that the purpose of the church is to glorify God,to disciple and baptize all believers by immersion,to observe the Lord's Supper, and to advance the gospel to the entire world.
