Statement of Faith

We believe in the Bible as the Word of God, divinely inspired in its entirety, inerrant in its original writings, complete in and of itself, and the only authority for Christian belief and practice. There are no additional books to be regarded as Scripture.

The one and only true God exists in three co-equal and co-eternal persons: The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.  God has always been God from eternity past and will always be God to eternity future (Psalm 90:2).  There has never been a point in time when God was not God, nor did He “exalt” to the position He is now (Malachi 3:6). God is not an exalted Man (Hosea 11:9). There has never been a “God” formed before Him, nor will there ever be a God formed after Him (Isaiah 43:10; Hebrews 6:13).

We believe in Jesus Christ who retained His Deity as God, while becoming a man, being born of a virgin, living a sinless life, and atoning for the sin of men through His death and bodily resurrection. As God’s Son, Jesus possesses the full eternal nature of God the Father (John 5:18). He is not our spirit-brother, nor is He the spirit-brother of Lucifer and the angles. Jesus’ fleshly body was conceived by the Holy Spirit (Matthew 1:18, 20), but His God nature is eternal, being neither created, nor begotten (Hebrews 1:3; Isaiah 9:6).

Satan being a fallen angel in total opposition to God, exercises his power and authority over the unregenerate through deception and spiritual manipulation.

Every human is hopelessly lost in sin apart from personal acceptance of the spiritual redemption offered in the blood of Jesus Christ. This free gift of salvation is applied to the individual believer separate from any works of righteousness he/she performs.

The Good News by which we are saved consists of the death, burial, and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.

The final state of unbelievers who die in rejection of God’s free gift is everlasting punishment away from the presence of God for eternity. True believers who have been born again through the regenerate work of the Holy Spirit are assured of eternal life in the presence of God in both Heaven and the new Earth.

We recognize no single human organization or religious church as being the sole proprietor of spiritual instruction. The Holy Spirit through the Word of God, teaches each one who has placed his/her trust in the sufficiency of Christ. This unity of believers transcends denominational barriers and forms the congregation of Christ, united in the Holy Spirit.
