Statement Of Faith<\/span><\/h4>

\u00a0<\/p>

We believe that the Bible is the Infallible, inspired Word of God.\u00a0 The Bible is the supreme authority in everything it teaches.\u00a0 We use the King James Version of the Holy Bible in our ministry.<\/span><\/p>

We believe in one God eternally existing.<\/span><\/p>

We believe in the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.\u00a0 We believe that Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of the Father, conceived of the Holy Ghost, and born of a virgin.\u00a0 We believe Jesus lived a sinless life, was crucified as a substitutionary sacrifice for our sins, rose from the dead, and ascended back to the right hand of the Father as the Intercessor between God and man.<\/span><\/p>

We believe in the Genesis account of creation as a direct act of God in six literal 24 hour days.\u00a0 The doctrines of Creator and Creation are foundational to the gospel of Jesus Christ because one\u2019s belief about his origin will affect his philosophy of life.<\/span><\/p>

We believe that man was created in the image of God, but by his own choice man sinned, bringing physical and spiritual death.\u00a0 Therefore, all have sinned and come short of the glory of God and repentance is commanded of God for all and necessary for forgiveness of sins.<\/span><\/p>

We believe that salvation is wrought by grace through personal faith in Jesus Christ as Saviour.\u00a0 As a new creation in Christ, and therefore empowered by the Spirit of God, all the saved are called unto a life of separation from all worldly and sinful practices and should live a holy, consecrated life.<\/span><\/p>

We believe in water baptism by immersion, and all who repent should be baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.<\/span><\/p>

We believe that gifts and callings in the Church are of God by the Holy Ghost and are manifested by the presence and power of the Spirit.<\/span><\/p>

We believe that Jesus Christ shall return in the clouds as Judge of the living and the dead.\u00a0 We believe in the bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust; eternal life with the Lord for the righteous, and eternal punishment separated from God for the wicked.<\/span><\/p>

We believe that the only legitimate marriage sanctioned by God is the joining of one naturally born man and one naturally born woman in a single, exclusive union, as delineated in Scripture.\u00a0 God intends sexual intimacy to only occur between a man and a woman who are married to each other, and has commanded that no intimate sexual activity be engaged in outside of a marriage between a man and a woman.\u00a0 Any form of sexual immorality, such as adultery, fornication, homosexuality, lesbianism, bisexual conduct, bestiality, incest, pornography, or any attempt to change one\u2019s gender, or disagreement with one\u2019s biological gender, is sinful and offensive to God.<\/span><\/p>

We believe that all human life is sacred and begins at conception.\u00a0 The unborn child is a living human being, created in the image of God, and must be respected and protected before and after birth.\u00a0 The abortion of an unborn child or the active taking of human life through euthanasia constitutes murder, and is a sin against God and man.<\/span><\/p>
