STATEMENT OF FAITH:
- We believe, first and foremost, that cleansing from sin comes through repentance, Faith in the precious blood of Jesus Christ, and the acceptance of the gospel according to Romans 10:9-10.
- We believe that Jesus physically rose from the dead and later ascended back into Heaven to be seated in power and authority at His Father, God’s, right-hand.
- We believe in the sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit, whom, by dwelling within the Christian allows us to live a Holy life within the present world.
- We believe the Bible is the inspired and only infallible word of the Holy God.
- We believe in the Holy Trinity, one God existent in three persons: the Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit.
- We believe in the blessed hope, which is the rapture of the Church, God’s children, which is in Christ at His return.
- We believe that the redemptive work of Christ on the cross at Calvary provides healing for the human body, and the answer to believing prayer is given to believers who ask for it.
- We believe that God is the creator of the universe, both of the seen (physical) and the unseen (spiritual) realms. And that God the creator is also the giver of life.
