Statement of Faith
We believe...
- The Scriptures, both Old and New, are the inspired Word of God without error in the original writings, and complete revelation of His Will for the salvation of men, and the divine and final authority for all Christian faith and life.
- There is one God, Creator of all things, infinitely perfect and eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit
- Jesus Christ is true God and true man, having being conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He died on the cross as a sacrifice for our sins according to the Scriptures. Further, He arose bodily from the dead, and ascended into heaven, where, at the right hand of the Majesty on High, He is now our High Priest and Advocate
- The ministry of the Holy Spirit is to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ and during this age, to convict men of sin, regenerate the believing sinner, indwell, guide, instruct and empower the believer for godly living and service
- Man was created in the image of God but fell into sin and is therefore lost, and only through regeneration by the Holy Spirit can salvation and spiritual life be obtained
God's Plan Of salvation ("The Roman Road")
- Everyone has sinned..."For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God". (Romans 3:23)
- The penalty for our sin is death..."For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord" (Romans 6:23).
- Jesus Christ died for sin..."But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: while we were still sinners, Christ died for us". (Romans 5:8)
- To be forgiven for our sin, we must believe and confess that Jesus is Lord. Salvation comes through Jesus Christ..."If you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved". (Romans 10:9-10)
