Statement of Faith < About Us < Home
GOD
There is one, and only one, true and living God. He is omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, immutable, and infinitely holy. He exists in three distinct Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This is commonly known as the Trinity.
JESUS CHRIST
Jesus Christ is the only begotten of the Father and is the redeemer-savior. He lived a sinless, impeccable life and he died on the cross of Calvary as a sacrificial lamb to pay the ultimate price for man’s sin. He is our substitute and God’s satisfaction. His blood is eternal in duration and in power. The blood shed at Calvary is sufficient to cleanse every person that has ever or will ever live. He was resurrected bodily for our justification. He offers every man His eternal life that will come to Him, repent, and by faith believe in the finished work of Calvary. He ascended to heaven after His resurrection and now is making intercession or all those who trust in Him. We believe he is going to return as He promised: literally, physically and triumphantly!
HOLY SPIRIT
We believe the Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity and is not just an abstract influence. He is here to convict the hearts of sinners, comfort the saints and to seal the believer.
THE SCRIPTURES
We believe that the Bible is the divinely revealed, inspired, and preserved Word of God. It is the sole rule for faith and practice for the Christian. The Bible is infallible and inerrant. We use only the King James Bible in our teaching and preaching.
SALVATION
We believe salvation comes through Jesus Christ. One must repent of his sin, and by faith, invite Jesus Christ to be his savior. Man is a free moral agent to choose. We believe once a person has experienced true salvation he is saved for all eternity.
HEAVEN
We believe all those who trust Christ in this lifetime will spend an eternity with Him in Heaven.
HELL
We believe all those that reject Christ in this lifetime will spend all eternity separated from God in hell.
