Statement of Faith
(The Gospel)

1. We believe in the Bible as the only inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God.
   
   
2. We believe in one God eternally existing in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
   
   
3. We believe in Jesus Christ, His deity, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His atoning death through His shed blood, His bodily resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.
   
   
4. We believe in the Holy Spirit whose indwelling enables the Christian to live a godly life. We further believe the power and gifts of the Holy Spirit are available to believers today.
   
   
5. We believe in salvation for lost and sinful man as the only way to come into a relationship with God made possible through repentance from sin, acceptance of Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, and regeneration by the Holy Spirit.
   
   
6. We believe in water baptism and the regular taking of communion as important scriptural practices of the early church that we continue to uphold today. However, we do not believe either of these practices is essential for salvation but serve as a demonstration of our living faith in Jesus Christ.
   
   
7. We believe in the resurrection of life for those who are saved and the resurrection of damnation for those who choose to remain lost.
