Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth
of God.
Matt 4:4 NIV

Statement of Faith
- There is one true God, eternally existing in three
persons - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit - each of whom
possesses equally all the attributes of Deity and the
characteristics of personality.
- Jesus Christ is God, the living Word, who became flesh
through His miraculous conception by the Holy Spirit and His
virgin birth. Hence, He is perfect Deity and true humanity
united in one person forever.
- He lived a sinless life and voluntarily atoned for the
sins of men by dying on the cross as their substitute, thus
satisfying divine justice and accomplishing salvation for
all who trust in Him alone.
- He rose from the dead in the same body, though
glorified, in which He lived and died.
- He ascended bodily into heaven and sat down at the right
hand of God the Father, where He, the only mediator between
God and man, continually makes intercession for His own.
- Man was originally created in the image of God. He
sinned by disobeying God; thus, he was alienated from his
Creator. That historic fall brought all mankind under divine
condemnation.
- Man's nature is corrupted, and he is thus totally unable
to please God. Every man is in need of regeneration and
renewal by the Holy Spirit.
- The salvation of man is wholly a work of God's free
grace and is not the work, in whole or in part, of human
works or goodness or religious ceremony. God imputes His
righteousness to those who put their faith in Christ alone
for their salvation, and thereby justified them in His
sight.
- It is the privilege of all who are born again of the
Spirit to be assured of their salvation from the very moment
in which they trust Christ as their Savior. This assurance
is not based upon any kind of human merit, but is produced
by the witness of the Holy Spirit, who confirms in the
believer the testimony of God in His written word.
- The Holy Spirit has come into the world to reveal and
glorify Christ and to apply the saving work of Christ to
men. He convicts and draws sinners to Christ, imparts new
life to them, continually indwells them from the moment of
spiritual birth and seals them until the day of redemption.
His fullness, power and control are appropriated in the
believer's life by faith.
- Every believer is called to live so in the power of the
indwelling Spirit that he will not fulfill the lust of the
flesh but will bear fruit to the glory of God.
- Jesus Christ is the Head of the Church, His Body, which
is composed of all men, living and dead, who have been
joined to Him through saving faith.
- God admonishes His people to assemble together regularly
for worship, for participation in ordinances, for
edification through the Scriptures and for mutual
encouragement.
- At physical death the believer enters immediately into
eternal, conscious fellowship with the Lord and awaits the
resurrection of his body to everlasting glory and blessing.
- At physical death the unbeliever enters immediately into
eternal, conscious separation from the Lord and awaits the
resurrection of his body to everlasting judgment and
condemnation.
- Jesus Christ will come again to the earth - personally,
visibly and bodily - to consummate history and the eternal
plan of God.
- The Lord Jesus Christ commanded all believers to
proclaim the Gospel throughout the world and to disciple men
of every nation. The fulfillment of that Great Commission
requires that all worldly and personal ambitions be
subordinated to a total commitment to "Him who loved us and
gave Himself for us."
