WHAT WE BELIEVE:
(STATEMENT OF FAITH)
WE BELIEVE in the Holy Trinity—one God, eternally existing in Three Persons:
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
We believe in one God, the Father, creator of heaven and earth, of all things seen
and unseen.
We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of
the Father. All things were made through Him and for Him. He is true God and
true man. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and was born of the
virgin, Mary. He suffered, died, was buried, and on the third day He rose from the
dead. He ascended to the right hand of the Father, and He will return to judge the
living and the dead. His kingdom will have no end.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and giver of life, who eternally proceeds
from the Father. He is Teacher, Comforter, Helper, and Giver of spiritual gifts.
Through Him the saving and sanctifying works of Jesus Christ are applied to the
life of believers. He is the empowering presence of God in the life of the Christian
and the church. The Father has sent His Son to baptize with the Holy Spirit.
Speaking in tongues and bearing the fruit of the Spirit are New Testament signs of
being filled with the Holy Spirit.
We believe that salvation is by grace through faith in the sacrificial death of Jesus
Christ on the cross and that He died in our place. The believer’s sins are forgiven
by the shedding of His blood. We believe that healing of mind, body, soul, and
spirit is available to the believer through the blood of Jesus Christ and the power
of the Holy Spirit. We believe in one baptism in the name of the Father and of the
Son and of the Holy Spirit.
We believe that the grace of God brings forgiveness and reconciliation to those
who repent, as well as transformation in holiness, enabling them to live a
Christ-like life. Sanctification is both a definite work of grace and a lifelong
process of change in the believer brought by the blood of Jesus, the Word of
God, and the enabling power of the Holy Spirit.
We believe in one holy, universal church, composed of all true believers in Jesus
Christ, offering fellowship and calling for service to men and women of all
peoples, nations, cultures, and languages. We believe in the spiritual and ultimate
visible unity of the church.
We believe that the Bible—both Old and New Testaments—is the inspired Word of
God. The Bible is God’s revelation of Himself and His will to humankind, sufficient
for instruction in salvation and daily Christian living. The Bible is the Christian’s
rule of faith and practice.
We believe that God will ultimately reconcile all things in heaven and earth in
Christ. Therefore, we look forward to new heavens and a new earth in which
righteousness dwells.
