Our Statement of Faith

We believe in... One God revealed in three persons: The Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit.  The incarnation, virgin birth, sinless life, miracles, substitutionary death, bodily resurrection, ascension to heaven, and second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. The Old and New Testaments are God's divinely inspired words. All have sinned and come short of the glory of God and are in need of salvation. Salvation has been provided through Jesus Christ for all men. It is the will of God that every believer be filled with the Holy Spirit. Healing is provided in the redemptive work of Christ and is available to every believer. The Church consists of all those who have received Jesus Christ as their personal Savior. There will be a bodily resurrection of the just and of the unjust. In water baptism, and observance of Lord's Supper.
