Statement of Faith
Statement of Faith
WE BELIEVE in GOD THE FATHER.
​
WE BELIEVE in JESUS CHRIST.
​
WE BELIEVE in the HOLY SPIRIT.
WE BELIEVE that all MEN are sinners by nature and choice and are therefore under condemnation; that GOD regenerates by the Holy Spirit, those who repent of their sin and confess Jesus Christ as Lord; that Jesus Christ baptizes the seeking believer with the Holy Spirit and power for service, often subsequent to regeneration.
WE BELIEVE in the universal CHURCH, the living spiritual body, of which Christ is the Head and all regenerated persons are members.
WE BELIEVE that the Lord Jesus Christ committed two ORDINANCES to the Church, baptism and the Lord's Supper. We believe in water baptism by immersion and communion of the Holy Spirit.
WE BELIEVE in LAYING ON OF HANDS for the empowering of the Holy Spirit, for receiving gifts of the Spirit, for healing, and for recognition and empowering of those whom God has ordained to lead and serve the church including the ordination of pastors, elders, and deacons.
​
WE BELIEVE that the BIBLE in its entirety is the inspired word of God, and that its writings are eternal truths that are to be experienced and practiced by believers for all time
