Our Statement of Faith

Statement of Faith 

We believe the Bible is the infallible Word of God, inspired by the Holy Spirit, and contains every answer to man’s problems.  There is one God, existing eternally in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.  God is Love and He loves all people. It is His desire to reach out to those who are poor, oppressed, widowed or orphaned, and to heal the brokenhearted. 

We believe man is created in the image of God but separated from God by sin. Without Jesus, we cannot have a relationship with God.  We can have a personal relationship with God through salvation, God’s free gift to man. It is not a result of what we do, but it is only available through God’s unearned favor. By admitting we have sinned and believing in the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ, and accepting Him as Lord, we can spend eternity with God. 

We believe in water baptism, as taught and demonstrated by Jesus, as the way for believers to identify with the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus.  

We believe the baptism of the Holy Spirit is a gift from God. He helps empower the believer to develop the character of Christ and live every day in God’s will.  God gives all believers spiritual gifts. They are for the strengthening of God’s people and proof of God’s existence and power to unbelievers. The gifts of the Spirit are active and relevant today. 

We believe sanctification is the ongoing process of allowing God’s character to be developed in us. 

We believe divine healing is active in the lives of people today through Jesus, who is the Healer. Healing includes physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual restoration. 

The Bible describes hell as a real place. It is a place of suffering and a place of permanent separation from God for those who die without accepting Christ. God’s desire is that no one be separated from Him for eternity, which is why He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to earth. Jesus will return and take all those who have accepted Him as Savior to be with Him for eternity.
