Statement of Faith

I believe the bible in it’s original writings to be inspired, authoritive word of God. I believe there is one God eternally existent in three person: Father, Son, Holy Spirit. I believe that man was created in the image of God, and that he sinned and thereby incurred not only physical death, but spiritual death. Which is separation from God. I believe Jesus Christ is God the Son, the second person of the Trinity. On earth Jesus was authentically God and authenticate man. He is the only man ever to live a sinless life, performing of miracles, died on the cross for mankind and thus atoned for our sins through shedding of His blood. He rose from the dead on the third day according to the scriptures. Ascended to the right hand of the Father and will returning power and glory I believe the Holy Spirit indwells in each believer at the moment of salvation and continues to empower and teach as the believer is yielded more and more completely to God. The Holy Spirit is evident in the believers life by the fruit He gives; Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, self-control: by the varieties of gifts. He gives to build up His body, the church and by the power He gives to witness and make disciples. I believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ, and commitment we share to spread His word and to minister to the needs of one another. I believe we are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, His death, burial, and resurrection. Salvation is a gift from God, not a result of our good works or any human earning.
