STATEMENT OF FAITH1. One true God God has revealed himself to be the creator of all things and the Redeemer of mankind. He is manifested as the triune God - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (Genesis 1:1, Isaiah 43:11, Mathew 28:19).2. Scriptures Inspired The Old and New testament are the inspired Word of God. In them we find the final authority for all Christian faith & practice. (2 Timothy 3:15-17).3. Deity of Jesus Christ The Lord Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God who shares in the deity of God. He was also truly man who was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He died on the cross as a sacrifice for sin and rose from the dead, ascended into Heaven, and is now sitting at the right hand of the Father as our High Priest and Advocate. (Mathew 1:23).4. Original Sin and Fall of Man Man was created in the image of God but fell into sin and is therefore lost (Genesis 1-3). Only through the shed blood of Jesus Christ and by his resurrection can man have grounds for justification and salvation. This salvation and spiritual life are obtained by regenration through the work of the Holy Spirit. Romans 3:23-26). 5. Salvation by Faith Man's salvation and redemption (a free gift of grace from God) can only be obtained by exercising faith, not by works, and by the finished redemptive work of the Lord Jesus Christ. (Eph. 8-9). 6. The New Man in Christ If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature (creation) in the inward man. We are his workmanship created in Christ Jesus Christ. We are partiakers of His divine nature. (2 Cor. 5:17, Eph. 2:10, and 2 Peter 1:4).7. Baptism of the Holy Spirit The ministry and baptism of the Holy Spirit are to glorify Jesus Christ and to indwell, guide, and empower believers for life and service. The bapism brings the gifts or enablement's of the Holy Spirit and their uses to the forefront of the ministry and the body of Christ. This experience is distinct from and subsequent to the experience of the new birth and is tongues as the Spirit of God gives utterance. (Acts 2: 1-4).8. Divine Healing The anointing work of Jesus Christ provides not only salvation but healing and prosperity for all believers. (Math. 8:16-17).9. Church the Body of Christ The true church is the composition of all those who have been born again. Through the new birth believers are united Head togeather as the Body of christ. Jesus Christ is the Lord and the of the Church. (Ephesians 1:22-23).10. Water Baptism All who beleive Jesus Christ is their Saviour and have been born again are commanded to be immersed in water as a declaration that they identify with the death of Christ and have been raised with Him in newness of life. (Mark 16:16).11. Lords Supper The Lord's supper, or communion, is a partaking in the power of the covenant established by His shed Blood. This ultimately allowed us to be partakers in the divine nature of our Lord Jesus Christ, as well as a memorial of his suffering death, resurrection, and the prophesy of His second coming. (1 Cor. 11:23-31).12. The Blessed Hope The blessed hope of the church is the resurrection of those who have fallen asleep in Christ and their translation ( catching away to Heaven) togeather with those who are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord. (1 Thessalonians 4: 16-17, Romans 11:27, and Titus 2:13).13. The Final Judgment There will be a final judgement in which the wicked dead will be raised and judged according to their works. Whoever's name is not found in the Book of Life will be cast into the lake of fire which is the second death. (Math. 25:46, Mark 9:43-48, Rev. 19:20, Rev. 20:11-15).
