Stmt.  of Faith

 · We believe in the scriptures of the Old and  New Testaments as verbally inspired by God, and inerrant in the original writings, and  that they are of supreme and final authority in faith and life.

· We believe in one God, eternally existing in  three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

· We believe that Jesus Christ was begotten by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary and is true God and true man.

· We believe that man was created in the image  of God; that he sinned, and thereby incurred not only physical death, but also  that spiritual death which is separation from God; and that all human beings are  born with a sinful nature, and are sinners in thought, word and deed.

· We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died  for our sins according to the Scriptures, as a representative and  substitutionary sacrifice; and all who believe in Him are justified on the  grounds of His shed blood.

· We believe in the resurrection of the  crucified body of our Lord; in His ascension into Heaven; in His present life  there for us; as High Priest and Advocate.

· We believe in "That blessed hope," the  personal and imminent return of our Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ.

· We believe that all who receive by faith the  Lord Jesus Christ are born again of the Holy Spirit and thereby become children  of God.  Further, we believe in the eternal security of the believer

· We believe in the bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust;  the everlasting blessedness of the saved;  and the everlasting, conscious  punishment for the lost.
