Our Statement of
 Christian Faith 

"For I am not ashamed of the gospel of (Jesus) Christ, 
for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes" 
Romans 1:16 (NKJV)

We believe the Bible to be the inspired, infallible, authoritative Word of God. This ministry seeks to emphasize the exposition of God's Word from the beginning (Genesis; the Alpha) thru to its ending (Revelation; the Omega) - verse upon verse, precept upon precept so that we are careful to never add to nor take away from His absolute truth.

We believe that there is one God, existing eternally in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit

We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, conceived by the Holy Spirit in His Virgin Birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His atoning death at Calvary through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father where He reigns as King, and in His personal return to earth in full power and glory to claim His bride    (i.e. His church - His body of believers - Christians)

We believe that for the salvation of the lost and sinful man (i.e. all humanity), spiritual regeneration by the Holy Spirit is essential, and that salvation is received only through true repentance from sin and the acceptance by faith ofJesus Christ as Savior and Lord is the only way to come into a personal love relationship with God. Salvation does not come as the result of good works (i.e. doing good deeds) or just being a good person.

We believe in the indwelling ministry of the Holy Spirit in the life of the believer from the moment of salvation, sealing them until the day of redemption. We believe the Holy Spirit enables believers to live a sanctified, godly (i.e. holy) life and that He equips and empowers every believer for Kingdom service.

We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they who are saved unto the resurrection of eternal life in heaven, and they who are lost unto the resurrection of eternal damnation in hell (i.e. eternal seperation from God).

We believe that all who put their faith in Jesus Christ are immediately placed by the Holy Spirit into one united spiritual Body, the church, of which Christ is the head. The purpose of the church is to glorify God by building its members up in the faith, by instruction of the word, by fellowship, by celebrating the ordinances of Baptism and the Lord's Supper, and by advancing and communicating the gospel to the entire world.

We believe God, in His own perfect time and in His own perfect way, will bring the world we live in today to its appropriate end. According to His promise, Jesus Christ will return personally and visibly in glory to the earth; the dead will be raised; and Christ will judge all men in righteousness. The unrighteous will be consigned to Hell, the place of everlasting punishment. The righteous in their resurrected and glorified bodies will receive their eternal reward and will dwell forever in Heaven with the Lord and the past and then present family of fellow believers in Christ.

We believe in the spiritual unity and cooperation of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.

We believe in using every modern means of communication available to us to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ to families both locally and throughout the world.
