Our Beliefs

Affirmation of the Faith

1.     We believe the Bible is God’s Word, fully and uniquely inspired, and that it is absolutely    trustworthy and has supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct.

3.     We believe in Jesus Christ, God’s only begotten Son, conceived of the Holy Spirit, and born of the Virgin Mary.  He fulfilled the requirements of the law of His sinless life, and made atonement for sin through His blood.  He was raised bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven, and will return personally according to His promise.

4.     We believe in the Holy Spirit, the third Person of the Godhead, who is of one substance, equal in power, and co-existent with the Father and the Son.  He affects God’s work of salvation among man, and is present and active in the Church in accord with God’s Word.
