Statement of Faith

We believe with conviction in:

1. The inspiration and authority of the Bible, both Old and New Testaments;

2. The creation of man by the direct act of God;

3. The incarnation and virgin birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ;

4. His identification as the Son of God;

5. His vicarious atonement for the sins of mankind by the shedding of His blood

on the cross, and His power to save men from sin;

6. The resurrection of His body from the tomb and His second coming;

7. The total depravity of mankind and the need for the new birth

through regeneration by the Holy Spirit;

8. The gift of eternal life by the grace of God;

9. The eternal blessedness of the redeemed

and the eternal punishment of those who reject Christ.
