The purpose
of this church, under the headship of the Lord Jesus Christ, by the
power of the Holy Spirit, is to evangelize and make disciples of all men
to the glory of God. To equip each member for the work of the ministry
and to edify the Body of Christ. This church provides for its

Statement
of Faith:
Doctrine: We
accept the Bible as our authority in matters of faith and practice, and
adopt the following Confession of Faith:
-
We
believe the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments as verbally
inspired of God and inerrant in the original writings, and that they
are of supreme and final authority.
-
We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father,
Son, and Holy Spirit, three-in-one, co-equal, which is the Trinity.
-
We believe that Jesus Christ was begotten of God, conceived of the
Holy Spirit, and born of the Virgin Mary.
-
We believe in the Holy Spirit, one of the three Persons of the
Trinity, who convicts the world of sin, of righteousness, and of
judgment. He is the life of every believer, and He empowers people
for the preaching and teaching of the Gospel.
-
We believe that man was created in the image of God, that he sinned,
and thereby incurred not only physical death, but spiritual death,
which is separation from God, and that all human beings are born
with a sinful nature.
-
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins according to
the Scriptures as a representative and substitutionary sacrifice,
and that all who believe in Him and receive Him are justified on the
ground of His shed blood.
-
We believe in the resurrection of the crucified body of Our Lord,
His ascension into heaven, and His present life there as High Priest
and Advocate for all believers.
-
We believe in the "blessed hope:" the personal, pre-millennial and
imminent return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
-
We believe that all who receive by faith the Lord Jesus Christ are
born again of the Holy Spirit, baptized by Him upon conversion into
the Body of Christ, and thereby they become children of God and
heirs of eternal life. This is a relationship in which they are
eternally secure.
-
We believe in the bodily resurrection of the just and unjust, the
everlasting, conscious suffering of the lost, and the blessedness of
the saved, which demand a heaven and hell.
-
We believe in the existence of a personal devil, who is working in
the world to destroy the souls of men and that he and all his angels
and all who receive NOT Christ as their Savior will be eternally
punished in the Lake of Fire.
-
We believe in the Church, the Body of Christ, whose mission it is to
preach the Gospel to all the world. All of its endeavors being
supported by God's financial plan of the "tithe and offering."
