Statements of Faith
These statements, articles or confession of faith are what we impart as some of the beliefs and understandings as the true doctrines of Jesus Christ. These statements may give the reader a partial understanding on our beliefs and doctrines and what we stand for in Christ. We believe we are always learning or coming into greater knowledge of our God as He bestows this understanding through the work of the Holy Spirit. These statements are the foundation of our beliefs. Our hope is that God may grant you the understanding of faith in the love of our Savior Jesus Christ.
​
I. Love
God is love. We are to love the Lord thy God with all our heart, and with all our soul and with all our mind. Love for us is the first and foremost aspect of our faith. The greatest thing we have is love.
II. God
There is one God; he is love, creator, sovereign, infinite, all-knowing, eternal, true, almighty, holy and perfect. God reveals himself in three ways, God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. These three make one true God.
III. The Scriptures
We believe the Bible (66 books) is the inspired written word of God. Therefore the scriptures are without error or mistakes and are used to fully equip the children of God to understand His works and precepts. The scriptures never become outdated or irrelevant; God is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow.
IV. Salvation
Salvation, regeneration, born again, quickened or being made alive is the absolute work of God and man has no part or work in this process. We are saved by grace through faith and not of ourselves or our works; it is the gift of God. Only through the shed blood of our Lord Jesus Christ can one obtain salvation.
V. Unconditional Election
God has chosen us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love and nothing can ever separate us from His love. He has chosen us and ordained us to be His chosen people.
​
VI. Baptism
Baptism is an ordinance or commission of the Church. We totally immerse believers in water in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, that they may live and walk in newness of life and become a member of his body, the Church.
VII. Lord’s Supper
The Lord’s Supper is an ordinance or commission to be performed by his Church. The Lord’s Supper is the commemoration of the sacrifices of Jesus Christ; His life, death and resurrection and it symbolizes the covenant of grace. We observe the Lord’s Supper with wine and unleavened bread and we do this in remembrance of Him. This is a closed service for Church members only.
VIII. Absolute Predestination
God declared the end from the beginning and that everything he has ordained will happen. We believe there is a time and a purpose for everything under heaven. God’s plan is perfect and cannot be changed by man. No one can make straight what God has made crooked. We find peace in the fact that our loving God has planned out all things for our benefit and that all things work for the good of His love ones.
IX. Works
Our Lord Jesus Christ gave the Church specific works and commandments to perform. These commandments and works are accomplished through faith and are never grievous or burdensome. God empowers the Church to perform spiritual works. Works are the expression of love the Church has for Jesus Christ.
X. Grace
Grace is a genuine, never-ending gift from God to man; unearned, undeserved and freely given. Jesus Christ is our grace; He saves, justifies, sanctifies and furnishes us with our faith. This Grace gives us everything and without it we can do nothing.
