Our Profession of Faith

We believe in one God, Creator of all things, Who is existent in Three Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

We believe the Bible is the infallible and authoritative Word of God. We believe in the deity of our Lord, Jesus Christ; that He was born of the Virgin Mary, led a sinless life, died on the cross and was resurrected from the dead on the third day. We believe He now sits at the right hand of the Father, interceding for His Church, and will one day come to judge the living and the dead.

We believe all men have sinned and are in need of a Savior, and that Jesus Christ has provided the way and the means of this salvation through His death and resurrection, and that salvation comes when a person accepts the sacrifice of Jesus, thus being Born Again.

We believe in being filled with the Holy Spirit Who indwells, guides, instructs and empowers the believer to live a godly life in service to the Lord. It is God’s desire for all to be baptized with the Holy Spirit.

We believe that it is God’s will that we mature and press on in Him. “Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and in the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ. (Eph. 4:13)
