This we believe........... 1). We believe that the Bible is God's Holy Word, verbally and fully inspired in the original
text, and that it is the supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct. 2). We Believe that there is only one
God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. 3). We believe in God the Father, perfect in
holiness, infinite in wisdom, measureless in power and creator of all that is. We believe that He concerns Himself mercifully
in the affairs of men, that He hears and answers prayer, and that He saves from sin and death all who come to Him through
Jesus Christ. 4). We believe in Jesus Christ, the divine, eternal and only begotten Son of God. We believe that in His
earthly life, that He was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary as recorded in the holy Bible, and lived a
faultless and sinless life. We believe in His vicarious and atoning death for the sins of all mankind. We believe in His bodily
resurrection from the dead, His ascension to the right hand of the Father to make intercession for the saints, and in His
personal, visible return to the world in power and glory. 5). We believe in the Holy Spirit, in His personality and deity,
that He was sent forth from the Father to convince the world of sin, of righteousness and of judgment. We believe that He
is come to regenerate, indwell, sanctify, instruct and comfort all who believe in the name and authority of Jesus Christ.
6). We believe that all men are, by nature and by choice, sinners, completely destitute of all power to save themselves.
We believe, therefore, that the only means of salvation of sinful men is the regenerating work of the Holy Spirit on the basis
of the atoning work of Jesus Christ through personal faith in Jesus Christ. 7). We believe in the resurrection of all
men, those that are lost unto the resurrection of eternal damnation. 8). We believe in the Church --- the living spiritual
body of which Jesus Christ is the Head and of which all regenerated persons are members. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ
has commissioned the Church the task of persuading a lost and sinful world to accept Jesus Christ as Savior and to enthrone
Him as Lord and Master in their lives. We believe that the Christian Church is associated for worship, work, fellowship, and
ministry to one another and others. 9). We believe that all Christians are ordained by the Holy Spirit to spread the
Gospel of Christ according to the gifts of the Spirit which God has given them. We believe in all gifts of the Holy Spirit
and that they are and can be applicable in our lives as the Holy Spirit wills according to need, purpose and function. 10).
We believe that the Love of Our Lord Jesus Christ is the greatest gift of God the Father and His Holy Spirit, and should be
the primary message of the Christian church in the act of evangelism, taking precedence over all differences, whether they
be theological, denominational, ideological, or physical in nature.
