Statement of Faith
The Triune God:
We believe in one God, eternally existing and manifest as Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Jesus Christ:
We believe in the Deity of Jesus Christ, the only begotten of the Father full of grace and truth, born of the Virgin Mary, in His perfect humanity, His atoning death, through His shed blood, His bodily resurrection from the dead, and His personal triumphant return.
Life Beyond:
We believe in the immortality of the soul, the resurrection of the dead, and our eternal destiny, in Heaven or Hell, determined by divine judgment, according to God’s Holy Word.
Authority of the Bible:
We believe in the divine inspiration and the infallibility of the entire Bible as the Word of God and the only authoritative and trustworthy guide of faith and practice.
Transforming Salvation By Grace:
We believe a Christian is one saved by God’s grace, through believing faith in Jesus Christ. The Christian life is transformed by the Holy Spirit into the likeness of Christ by His atoning death, and shed blood, the power of His resurrection.
Christian Discipline:
With the teaching and example of our Lord, we believe in living a life of love and peace in our relationship to others, which includes forgiveness and a spirit of non-resistance. “If it is possible as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone” –Romans 12:18 NIV. The Christian life will of necessity also express itself in non-conformity to the world in character and conduct. “Don’t let the world around you, squeeze you into its mold, but let God remold your minds from within” –Romans 12:2 Phillips translation.
Prayer:
We believe in prayer as having fellowship with God, a sincere desire to be open to God’s divine will and power.
Church of Believers:
We believe that Christ’s Church, (the body of Christ), consists of believers who have repented from their sinful condition, who have accepted Christ by faith, and are sincerely endeavoring by the Grace of God to live the Christian life.
Christian Brotherhood:
We believe in the brotherhood of the redeemed under the fatherhood of the God in Christ.
