A BRIEF DOCTRINAL STATEMENT
A. We believe that Scripture is verbally inspired by God, inerrant and infallible in the original autographs, and that it is the only infallible rule of faith and practice. Psa. 19:7-11; Luke 24:15-28; John 10:35; 16:12-26; 17:17; 2 Tim. 3:16-17; 2 Pet. 1:16-21.
B. We believe that there is one true and living God revealed to us in three Persons - Father, Son and Holy Spirit, equal in power and glory. Gen. 1:1; John 4:24; 10:30.
C. We believe in the Lord Jesus Christ as the eternal and incarnate Son of God and the only Saviour of sinners, that He was conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary and that He unites in His person true deity and perfect humanity. Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:18-25; John 1:1-14.
D. We believe that the substitutionary and vicarious death of Christ on the cross provided a perfect propitiation for sinners, and that “through faith in His blood,” the value of His redemptive work is credited to the believer. John 3:1-18; 6:44-69; Romans 3:15; 4:3-10; Hebrews 2:9.
E. We believe in the literal, bodily resurrection of Christ, in His present work in heaven as Mediator, Advocate and High Priest, and in His personal return as the blessed hope of the Church. John 14:1-4; Acts 1:10-11; 2:32-36; 3:12-16; 1 Cor. 15:12-58; 1 Thess. 4:13-18; 1 Tim. 2:5; Heb. 9:24.
F. We believe in the deity and personality of the Holy Spirit, and that He came on the day of Pentecost to abide in the church and to indwell all true believers of that church for their instruction, guidance and comfort. John 16:7-15; Acts 2; 4:7-37; Romans 8:1-17.
G. We believe that all men are sinful by nature and by personal choice and are eternally lost apart from the saving grace of the Lord Jesus Christ. John 3:36; Rom. 3:1-26; 6:23; 1 Cor. 3:16-17.
H. We believe that men are justified by faith in the shed blood of Christ alone, and that those who are justified are also regenerated and made partakers of the divine nature. John 1:12; 3:16; 5:24; Romans 5:1,2; 8:15-17; 10:9-10; 2 Peter 1:3-4.
I. We believe that the justified and regenerated are called to a life of separation from sinful, worldly practices and also called to the service of God and the maintenance of good works. Matt. 16:24; John 17:17; Romans 12:1; 1 Cor. 7:1; 2 Cor. 6:15-17; Eph. 2:8,9; 2 Peter 1:3-4; 3:18.
J. We believe that the true church consists of all those who have been born from above and united to Christ and are therefore members of that spiritual Body of which the risen Lord Jesus Christ is the Head. 1 Cor. 12:12-13; 1 Thess. 4:13-18.
K. We believe in the personality of Satan who deceives the whole world and in whose lap the world lies. He is the god of this age. Job 1-2; Matt. 4:2-11; John 8:44; 2 Cor. 4:3-4; 1 John 5:19; Rev. 12:9-10.
L. We believe in the eternal blessedness of the righteous and the eternal suffering of the wicked. Matthew 25:46; John 14:1-6; Rev. 20-22.
“Our purpose is to faithfully proclaim God’s Word so that people will come to know Christ as Savior and become fruitful disciples of Christ.”
