Our Statement of Faith
We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God and our standard for faith, practice, and revelation. ( 2nd Timothy 3:16-17 ; 1st Corinthians 2:13; 2nd Peter 1:20-21)
We believe that there is one God eternally existent in three persons, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, and that these Three are One God in essence, nature, attributes, perfection, and are worthy of the same homage and obedience. (Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 28:19)
We believe in the pre-existence, the incarnation and the virgin birth of Christ, who came into the world to reveal the Father. Christ lived a sinless life and died substitutionally for man's transgressions. (Isaiah 53:1-4, 7:14; Hebrews 1:3)
We believe that the Holy Spirit is the third Person of the Godhead and dwells in every true born-again believer, and that He imparts gifts or abilities greater than our own to accomplish God's will. (Genesis 1:2; 1st Corinthians 2:10; John 14:16; Acts 13:2; Hebrews 13:8)
SIN:
We believe that man and woman were created in the image of God and that through disobedience mankind fell from a state of righteousness and holiness in God, in which he was created, into spiritual depravity. Through willful sin, mankind is separated from God and unable to attain divine righteousness and communion with God through his own efforts. Therefore, man must be redeemed from sin. (Genesis 3:6-23; Romans 3:23, 5:12-14; Psalms 51:5; Isaiah 59:1-3).
We believe that the shed blood of Jesus Christ and His resurrection provide the only ground for justification and salvation for all mankind, and only those who believe and receive Jesus Christ are born of the Holy Spirit, and thus become the children of God. (Romans 3:23; John 1:12-18; Acts 16:31)
We believe that God wants to reveal His nature and purpose through His Church. Christ came and established His Church as His body on earth. (Acts 8:1, 11:22, 16:5; 1st Corinthians.11: 18; Ephesians 5:25; Galatians 3:28; Acts 1:5).
We believe that Christ will return to the
earth in a visible way. His purpose will be to manifest His government
on the earth. We believe that Christians should lovingly look for His
appearing, giving attention to obedience while He tarries. (1st
Thessalonians 4:17-18; John 14:1-14;
1st Corinthians 15:51-57;
Daniel 6:16-17)
Scripture References
16 All scripture is given by inspiration
of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction,
for instruction in righteousness:
17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all
good works. (return to Doctrinal Statements)
Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. (return to Doctrinal Statements)
20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy
of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy
men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. (return

53:1 Who hath believed our report? and
to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?
2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out
of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see
him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.
3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted
with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised,
and we esteemed him not.
4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did
esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give
him a stone?
10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?

to them that ask him? (return to Doctrinal

6 And when the woman saw that the tree
was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree
to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did
eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were
naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.
8 And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in
the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence
of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.
9 And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?
10 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because
I was naked; and I hid myself.
11 And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten
of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?
12 And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave
me of the tree, and I did eat.
13 And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast
done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.
14 And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this,
thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field;
upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of
thy life:
15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy
seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his
heel.
16 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy
conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire
shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
17 And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice
of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee,
saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake;
in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;
18 Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt
eat the herb of the field;
19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto
the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto
dust shalt thou return.
20 And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of
all living.
21 Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins,
and clothed them.
22 And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to
know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also
of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:
23 Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to
till the ground from whence he was taken. (return

3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered
into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men,
for that all have sinned:
13 (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when
there is no law.
14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that
had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is
the figure of him that was to come. (return to

your lips have spoken lies, your tongue hath muttered perverseness.

mouth confession is made unto salvation.
11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be
ashamed.

same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you.
9 Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters, and to please

great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;

53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must
put on immortality.
54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this
mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass
the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?

ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building.
10 According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder,

man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.
11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus
Christ.
12 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious
stones, wood, hay, stubble;
13 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare
it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every
man's work of what sort it is.

a reward.
15 If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself
