STATEMENT OF FAITH

     We believe the Bible, consisting of the Old and New Testament, to be the only inspired, inerrant, infallible, authoritative Word of God written.

     We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, and to His deeds we testify.  He calls the worlds into being, creates man in His own image, and sets before him the ways if life and death.  He seeks in holy love to save all people from aimlessness and sin.  He judges men and nations by His righteous will declared through the Holy Bible which to us is the sufficient rule of faith and practice.

     We believe in Jesus Christ, our crucified and risen Lord.  He has come to us and shared our common lot, conquering sin and death and reconciling the world to Himself.  He bestows upon us His Holy Spirit, creating and renewing the Church of Jesus Christ, binding in covenant faithful people of all ages.  He calls us into His church to accept the cost and joy of discipleship, to be His servants in the service of men, to proclaim the gospel to all the world and resist the powers of evil, to share in His baptism and eat at His table, to join Him in His passion and victory.  He promises to all who trust Him forgiveness of sins and fullness of grace, courage in the struggle for justice and peace, His presence in trial and rejoicing and eternal life in His kingdom which has no end.

     We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life, and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.

     Blessings and honor, glory and power be unto Him.  Amen.
