Articles of Faith
We Believe…
-- in one God, eternally existing in three Persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy
Spirit.
-- that Jesus Christ was conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. That Jesus Christ is true God and true man. That the Lord Jesus Christ died in our place for our sins and rose again, bodily, on the third day, ascending into Heaven to sit at the right hand of God, the Father, making him the only mediator between God and humankind.
-- that the Holy Spirit’s ministry is to reveal Christ to all people for the salvation and sanctification of their souls. That He, further, teaches the believers and provides gifts to the believers, equipping Christians to serve Jesus Christ.
-- that the Holy Bible is inspired of God and is of supreme and final authority in faith and life. Written under God’s inspiration, it is universal and without doctrinal error.
-- that all people were created in the image of God. Having a free will, people choose to go their own independent way, thereby sinning, and incurring spiritual death. That salvation is received only through personal faith in Jesus Christ.
-- that life is a gift of God, which begins at conception with its ownership vested in God.
-- that God created man and woman in His own image and for each other in the bonds of marriage. That there must be no attempt to rationalize and promote sexual conduct – heterosexual, homosexual, or bisexual – which is outside the scriptural will of God for His children.
-- in the scriptural teaching of the priesthood of believers, that every believer receives salvation and has free access to God the Father at any time for spiritual comfort and forgiveness of sins through Jesus Christ our Savior.
-- that the New Testament Church is a group of believers committed to Jesus Christ. They come together for worship and fellowship. That by the power and leading of the Holy Spirit, they are committed to evangelism, training and discipleship. That they encourage and educate each other in world missions and community concerns.
-- that baptism by immersion is a re-enactment of Romans 6:4, “being buried with Christ in baptism” in the name of the Father, and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
-- that baptism is an external witness of the believer’s previous experience: death to sin, burial of the old life, and the resurrection to newness of life.
-- that the Lord’s Supper symbolized by the elements representing Christ’s broken body and spilled blood is a remembrance of the Lord’s death until He returns.
-- in the imminent, visible return of Jesus Christ to earth. That He will establish His Kingdom of justice and peace. That He will have dominion and power forever.
