✝️ Statement of Faith
1. The Holy Scriptures
We believe the Bible—consisting of the Old and New Testaments—is the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God. It is the final rule of faith and practice.
📖 “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.” — 2 Timothy 3:16 (KJV)
2. The One True God
We believe in one God, eternally existing in three Persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit—equal in essence and glory, yet distinct in function.
📖 “For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.” — 1 John 5:7 (KJV)
3. Jesus Christ, the Son of God
We believe that Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God. He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, performed miracles, died a substitutionary death for our sins, rose bodily from the grave, and ascended into heaven.
📖 “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” — Romans 5:8 (KJV)
4. Salvation by Grace Through Faith
We believe that salvation is a free gift of God, received by repentance and faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ. It is not earned by works, but solely by God’s grace.
📖 “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God.” — Ephesians 2:8 (KJV)
5. The Holy Spirit
We believe that the Holy Spirit convicts the world of sin, regenerates believers, and empowers the saved to live godly lives. He indwells every believer at the moment of salvation.
📖 “But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me.” — Acts 1:8 (KJV)
6. The Church
We believe the local church is a congregation of baptized believers, associated by covenant in the faith and fellowship of the gospel. The church observes two ordinances: baptism by immersion and the Lord’s Supper.
📖 “Upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” — Matthew 16:18 (KJV)
7. The Return of Christ
We believe in the personal, visible, and imminent return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
📖 “For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout… and so shall we ever be with the Lord.” — 1 Thessalonians 4:16–17 (KJV)
