Statement of Faith

We believe in:

1. The full and verbal inspiration of all the Old Testament and New Testament Scriptures as originally given, and these alone, being in themselves the complete Word of God, without error, and wholly reliable in both fact and doctrine. Their final authority and perpetual sufficiency in all matters of faith, church order and personal and social conduct.

2 The one true and living God, inexpressibly glorious and infinite in all his attributes and worthy of all honor, love and obedience. The unity of the Godhead and divine co-equality of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit eternally. The Sovereignty of God in creation, providence and redemption.

3 The true and proper deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, His real and perfect manhood, the authority of His teaching and the infallibility of all His utterances. His substitutionary death on the cross as being the full, sufficient and only atonement for sins. His bodily resurrection, His ascension into Heaven and His present priestly intercession for His people. His personal return in glory.

4 The work of the Holy Spirit is essential for a true understanding of the Scriptures and for regeneration and conversion of the sinner, by delivering an individual to repentance towards God and saving faith in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Also, the work of the Holy Spirit for the sanctification of those regenerated and converted (the redeemed).

5 The total depravity of human nature in consequence of the fall of man from the original state of perfection in which he was created. By this fall all man kind is in a state of condemnation and separation from God. Deliverance is only by the divine work of regeneration and conversion.

6 The sovereign grace of God, by which we mean His free and unmerited favor. That by His sole choice, certain sinners (the elect) have been predestinated to salvation.

7 The salvation of the elect not by their own free will and power but as a result of the irresistible grace of God, through the work of the Holy Spirit.

8 The justification of the sinner solely by faith, through the atoning merits and of our Lord Jesus Christ.

9 The final perseverance of all those who are chosen by the Father, redeemed by the Son and sanctified by the Holy Spirit, so that not one of them shall ever perish but shall have everlasting life.

10 The resurrection of the body. The judgement of the world by our Lord Jesus Christ. The eternal blessedness of the redeemed. The conscious eternal punishment of the unbelievers.
