Statement of Faith
1.  There is one God,1 who is infinitely perfect,2 existing eternally in three persons: Father, Son and
      Holy Spirit.3
2.  Jesus Christ is true God and true man.4 He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin
     Mary.5 He died upon the cross, the Just for the unjust, as a substitutionary sacrifice, and all who
     believe in Him are justified on the ground of His shed blood. He arose from the dead according to the
     Scriptures.6 He is now at the right hand of the Majesty on high as our great High Priest.7 He will
     come again to establish His kingdom of righteousness and peace.8
3.  The Holy Spirit is a divine Person, sent to indwell,9 guide, teach, and empower the believer, and to
     convince the world of sin, of righteousness and of judgment.10
4.  The Old and New Testaments, inerrant as originally given, were verbally inspired by God and are a
     complete revelation of His will for the salvation of people. They constitute the divine and only rule of
     Christian faith and practice.11
5.  Humankind, originally created in the image and likeness of God,12 fell through disobedience, incurring
    thereby both physical and spiritual death. All people are born with a sinful nature, are separated from
    the life of God, and can be saved only through the atoning work of the Lord Jesus Christ.13 The
    destiny of the impenitent and unbelieving is existence forever in conscious torment, but that of the 
    believer is everlasting joy and bliss.14
6.  Salvation has been provided only through Jesus Christ. Those who repent and believe in Him are
     united with Christ through the Holy Spirit and are thereby regenerated (born again), justified,
     sanctified and granted the gift of eternal life as adopted children of God.15
7.  It is the will of God that in union with Christ each believer should be sanctified thoroughly16 thereby
     being separated from sin and the world and fully dedicated to God, receiving power for holy living
     and sacrificial and effective service toward the completion of Christ's commission.17  This is
     accomplished through being filled with the Holy Spirit which is both a distinct event and progressive
     experience in the life of the believer.18
8.  Provision is made in the redemptive work of the Lord Jesus Christ for the healing of the mortal body.
     Prayer for the sick and anointing with oil as taught in the Scriptures are privileges for the Church in
     this present age.19
9.  The universal Church, of which Christ is the Head, consists of all those who believe on the Lord Jesus
     Christ, are redeemed through His blood, regenerated by the Holy Spirit, and commissioned by Christ
     to go into all the world as a witness, preaching the Gospel to all nations.20  The local church, the
     visible expression of the universal Church, is a body of believers in Christ who are joined together to
     worship God, to observe the ordinances of Baptism and the Lord's Supper, to pray, to be edified
     through the Word of God, to fellowship, and to testify in word and deed to the good news of
     salvation both locally and globally. The local church enters into relationships with other like-minded
     churches for accountability, encouragement and mission.21
10. There shall be a bodily resurrection of the just and of the unjust; for the former, a resurrection unto
      life;22 for the latter, a resurrection unto judgment.23
11. The second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ is imminent and will be personal and visible.24 As the
      believer's blessed hope, this vital truth is an incentive for holy living and sacrificial service toward
      the completion of Christ's commission.25
