STATEMENT OF FAITH
GOD
There is but one eternal, all-powerful, all-knowing and everywhere-present Triune God – one God existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit – who is the creator and sustainer of all things (Deuteronomy 6:4-5; I Timothy 2:5)
 JESUS CHRIST
Jesus Christ is God incarnate, yet human. He lived a sinless life, died to make atonement for the sins of mankind, was bodily resurrected, and is now mediator at the right hand of the Father seated in the heavenlies. He is assuredly coming in power and glory to the earth for His believing followers, and is the only Savior of men (John 1:1, 14; Titus 2:11-14).
HOLY SPIRIT
The Holy Spirit is the third Person of the Trinity. He convicts the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment, regenerating all who repent of their sins and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. He sanctifies, empowers, teaches, guides and comforts the believer. (John 16:7, 8, 12-15).
BIBLE
The Bible is the divinely inspired Word of God, without error and authoritative in all matters it addresses (2 Timothy 3:16, 2 Peter 1:20-21).
SALVATION
Salvation is the result of genuine repentance of sin in faith in the atoning work of Christ. It brings forgiveness to the penitent, makes him a partaker of the divine nature and gives peace with God (Titus 3:5; I Peter 1:3-5).
CHURCH
The Church is the invisible and universal people of God. It is composed of all believers in the Lord Jesus Christ who have been vitally united by faith to Christ, its living Head and sovereign Lord (Matthew 16:18; Hebrews 12:22-24).
SPIRITUAL GIFTS
The Holy Spirit empowers believers in the Lord Jesus for ministry by means of Spiritual Gifts. While the gifts given are varied and their use diverse, they are given for the purpose of the glorification of God and the edification of the Church (Romans 12:6-8; 1 Corinthians 12:4-11, 28-31; Galatians 5:22-23).
