statement of faith:


Following the lead of


St. Augustine, we affirm his confession:
   "In essentials, unity. In non-essentials, liberty. In all things, love."

We  believe that the Bible is the Word of God, written by men through  the  inspiration of God, expressing the revelation of God to us through  history,   poetry, prophecy and narrative.  We hold to it as our rule of  faith and  practice, as the only infalliable word of God, inerrant in the  original  manuscripts.  (2 Timothy 3:16-17;    1 Peter 1:23-25; Hebrews  4:12)



We believe in one God who has revealed Himself in three  persons, the Father,  the Son and the Holy Spirit. The Father, the Son  and the Holy Spirit are all  co-eternal, all stand equally superior to  time, free from the temporal  distinctions of past and future.  (Genesis  12:33; Deuteronomy 33:27; Psalms  90:2, 102:27; 1 Timothy 1:17; John 1:1-2, 8:58; Hebrews 1:8, 9:14; 1 John  1:2; Micah 5:2; Revelation 1:8; Romans 1:20)

We  believe in the deity of our Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, His 
sinless life, His substitutionary death, His bodily resurrection, His  ascension  to the right hand of the Father, and His personal return in  glory and  power.  (John 1:1-2 & 14; 1 Timothy 3:16; Acts  7:37-38; Philippians 2:9-10;  Acts 1:11; 3:19-21; Daniel 7:14; Revelation  20:4)

We believe in the personality of the Holy Spirit and His  ministry of convicting and regenerating sinful people and indwelling,  filling, sealing and empowering believers.  We believe that the ministry  of the Holy Spirit is being manifested in the Church through the fruit and gifts of the Holy Spirit.  (Galatians 5:22-23; 1 Corinthians 12:8-11)

We  believe that man was created by an intentional act of God.We believe  in the  fall of man from the state of innocence in which he was created,  to one of total depravity in which he is devoid of spiritual life and  incapable, apart from divine power, of pleasing God.  (Genesis 1:26-27,  2:4; Romans 5:12-21; 
1 Corinthians 15:1-4)

We believe that  repentance and faith toward Jesus Christ produces the work  of justification in the believer. We believe in the justification of the  sinner by grace through faith alone in the work of Jesus Christ,  totally apart from human work. We believe in the bodily resurrection of  the saved to immortality with God and of the lost to conscious eternal suffering.  (Romans 5:1,9;  Luke 22:20; Ephesians 2:8-9)

We  believe that the Church is the Body of Christ expressed as the  church individual, the church local, and the church universal and  invisible (all saints of all places and all times united together under  one Lord). As such, we  believe the church to be more than just a  building or a gathering of people. It is a body living in relationship  and harmony under the direction of the head, Jesus Christ.  The local  church is an expression of the community and  fellowship of God.  (1  Corinthians 6:15; 2 Corinthians 1:1; Romans 16:5; 2 Peter 2:4-5; Ephesians 2:19-22; 1 Corinthians 12:12-31; Romans 12:4-5; Ephesians  4:11-16).
