Statement Of Faith

---

1. We believe in one God, Creator of all things, holy, infinitely perfect, and eternally existing in a loving unity of three equally divine Persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Having limitless knowledge and sovereign power, God has graciously purposed from eternity to redeem a people for Himself and to make all things new for His own glory.

2. We believe that God has spoken in the Scriptures, both Old and New Testaments, through the words of human authors. As the verbally inspired Word of God, the Bible is without error in the original writings, the complete revelation of His will for salvation, and the ultimate authority by which every realm of human knowledge and endeavor should be judged. Therefore, it is to be believed in all that it teaches, obeyed in all that it requires, and trusted in all that it promises.

3. We believe that God created Adam and Eve in His image, but they man sinned when tempted by Satan. In union with Adam, human beings are sinners by nature and by choice, alienated from  God, and under His wrath. Only through God’s saving work in Jesus Christ can we be rescued, reconciled and renewed.

4. We believe that Jesus Christ is God incarnate, fully God and fully man, one Person in two natures. Jesus—Israel's promised Messiah—was conceived through the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He lived a sinless life, was crucified under Pontius Pilate, arose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father as our High Priest and Advocate.

5. We belivethat Jesus cris, as our representative and substitute, shed his blood on the cross as the perfect, all-sufficant sacrifice for our sins. His atoning death and victorious resurrection constitute the only ground for salvation.

6. We believe that the Holy Spirit, in all that He does, glorifies the Lord Jesus Christ. He convicts the world of its guilt. He regenerates sinners, and in Him they are baptized into union with Christ and adopted as heirs in the family of God. He also indwells, illuminates, guides, equips and empowers believers for Christ-like living and service.

7. We believe that the true church comprises all who have been justified by God's grace through faith alone in Christ alone. They are united by the Holy Spirit in the body of Christ, of which He Christ is the Head. The true church is manifest in local churches, whose membership should be which is composed only of believers. The Lord Jesus mandated two ordinances, baptism and the Lord’s Supper, which visibly and tangibly express the gospel. Though they are not the means of salvation, when celebrated by the church in genuine faith, these ordinances confirm and nourish the believer.

8. We believe that God justifying grace must not be separated from his sanctifying power  and purpose.God commands us to love him supremely and others sacrificially, and to live out our faith with care for one another, compassion towards the poor and justice for the oppressed. With Gods word, the sprits power  and fervent prayer in Christs name, we are to combat the spiritual forces of evil. In obedience to Christs commission, we are to make decibels among all people, always bering witness to the gospel in word and deed.

9. We believe in the personal, bodily. and premillennial return of our Lord Jesus Christ. The coming of christ, at a time known only to God, demands constant expectancy and, as our blessed hope, motivated believers to modest living, sacrificial service and energetic mission.

10.  We believe that God commands everyone everywhere to believe the gospel by turning to him in repentance and receiving the lord Jesus Christ. We believe that God will raise the dead bodily and judge the world, assigning the unbelievers to condemnation and internal conscious punishment and the believers to eternal blessed joy with the Lord in the new heaven and the new earth, to the praise of his glory and graciousness Amen. 

11. We believe that marriage was instituted by God as a tangible message regarding the realtionship of Christ and the church. The man is the head as repersentitive that Christ is the only head of the church.The marriage relationship therefore cannot compromise more than one man .From the beginning it is commanded make and female . As in the parable of Jesus, only actual believers will be taken into the marriage of the lamb, likewise a man should not be unequal yolked to nonbeliever wives, nor should a wife be unequally yolked to a unbeliever husband. The covenant life begins at betrothal, just as new life in Christ begins at conversion. Dissolution of a covenant relationship is a denial of Christ eternal commitment , However a believer does not force an unbelieving spouse.Each persons free will is recognized and a non-believer may choose to leave. We believe there are three relationship status the Bible teaches about Monogamy, polygyny and celibacy.
