Statement of Faith
We believe:
| |
The sixty six books of the Bible are all revelations of God, constituting the highest standard of our faith and living.
|
|
|
| |
The Holy Father, with the Holy Son, and the Holy Spirit constitute the triune God. The Father is coequal in esteem and glory with the other persons of the Godhead, and is infinitely perfect and uniquely true. He created the heavens and the earth. His life, wisdom, holiness, righteousness, love and faithfulness are all infinite, without beginning or end, and never changing.
|
|
|
| |
The Holy Son - Jesus Christ is one person of the triune God. He so loved the world that He (the Word) was made flesh, born of the virgin Mary, possessing both natures of God and Man, and yet was free of committed and original sins. For the redemption of the sins of the world, He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified and died, so that whoever believes in Him shall be forgiven. He was buried, but on the third day He rose from death, and later ascended into heaven in glory. From there He serves as the mediator of the new covenant and the head of the Church. He shall come again at the end time to judge the righteous and the wicked. The righteous shall have eternal life, and the wicked shall enter eternal punishment.

|
|
| |
The Holy Spirit - one of the three persons of the triune God, is the Comforter of the believers, His mission is to glorify Christ, reprove the world of sin, and counsel, guide and consecrate the believers through truth.
|
|
|
| |
The universality of the Church: established by Christ for the manifestation of His body on earth, and for the communion of the saints.
|
|
|
| |
The local nature of the churches: self governing, independent, coequal, and of God.
