We Believe
In the
Trinity...
We believe in one God in three
Persons: the Father, the Son and
the Holy Spirit, the same in
substance and equal in power and
glory. We believe in the deity
of the Lord Jesus Christ, Who
was conceived by the Holy Spirit
and born of the virgin, Mary,
God manifest in the flesh, God
and man with two distinct
natures and one Person forever.
We believe in the Holy Spirit,
the Third Person of the Trinity,
Who participates with the Father
and the Son in all works of
creation, providence and
redemption.
In the Fall
of Man...
We believe that all mankind is
in a state of sin and misery as
a result of Adam's first sin.
The corruption of man's nature,
all actual transgressions and
consequent death proceed from
Adam's original sin. "By
one man sin entered into the
world, and death by sin; and so
death passed upon all men, for
that all have
sinned."
Romans 5:12
In God's
Plan of Redemption...
We believe that the only Savior
from this state of sin and death
is the Lord Jesus Christ, Who
through His redeeming work,
purchased our salvation. "Christ
died for our sins — He was
buried — He rose again the
third day according to the
Scriptures." I Corinthians
15:3-4. We believe in the
personal and visible return of
Jesus Christ to consummate God's
plan of salvation for those who
believe.
In the Holy
Scriptures...
We believe that the Bible,
consisting of the Old and New
Testaments, is the Word of God
and the only and infallible rule
of faith and practice. "The
Supreme Judge, by whom all
controversies of religion are to
be determined, ...and in whose
sentence we are to rest, can be
no other but the Holy Spirit
speaking in the Scripture."
