I Believe...

I believe in creation according to the Word of God in Genesis 1 and 2. God created the earth in 6 days and He created man in His own image and likeness.

I believe the Godhead exists in three persons; the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit as one God.

I believe Jesus Christ is true God and true man. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He died upon the cross, the Just for the unjust, as a substitutionary sacrifice, and all who believe in Him are justified on the ground of His shed blood. He arose from the dead according to the Scriptures. He is now at the right hand of the Majesty on high as our great High Priest. He will come again to establish His kingdom of righteousness and peace. 

I believe the Holy Spirit is a divine Person, sent to indwell, guide, teach and empower the believer, and to convince the world of sin, of righteousness and of judgment. 

I believe the Old and New Testaments are inerrant as originally given, were verbally inspired by God, and are a complete revelation of His will for the salvation of people (2 Timothy 3:16-17) and (2 Peter 1:20-21). They constitute the divine and only rule of Christian faith and practice (Ephesians 2:8-10). Adam the father of humankind, originally created in the image and likeness of God, fell through disobedience, incurring thereby both physical and spiritual death. Because of that one act; All people are born with a sinful nature, are separated from the life of God, and can be saved only through the atoning work of the Lord Jesus Christ.

I believe salvation has been provided only through Jesus Christ. Those who repent and believe in Him are united with Christ through the Holy Spirit and are thereby regenerated (born again), justified, sanctified and granted the gift of eternal life as adopted children of God.
