Our Statement of Faith
As Christian Bible believers, we subscribe to the following Declaration of
the things which are most surely believed among us: Praying that we may
all be of the same mind and same judgment, speaking the same things in
love; and with one voice glorifying God, to the edification of His people,
and to give a Christian witness to the world. Luke 1:1; l Corinthians 1:10;
Acts 2:42
1. The Holy Scriptures 2 Peter 1:21; 2 Timothy 3:16-17; Matthew 28:29;
I Corinthians 1:10
We believe that the Bible is God’s Holy Word. Both the Old Testament and
New Testament were written by individuals who were Divinely Inspired.
We believe that the Word of God is the supreme authority in all matters of
faith and conduct. The Scriptures present to us the complete Revelation
of God’s Divine will for the Salvation of humanity.
2. The Godhead John 14:28
Our God is a Trinity, manifested in three persons: the Father, the Son and
the Holy Spirit. God is infinitely perfect, being in His three persons Co-
existent, Co-equal and Co-eternal. God the Father is the Creator and
greater than all. The Son, Jesus Christ, was begotten of the Father,
accepting the robe of flesh, being the True God -True Man, conceived by
the Holy Ghost and born of the Virgin Mary. He died upon the Cross for
both the just and the unjust, as a substitutionary sacrifice, and all that
believe in Him are justified by His shed Blood. He arose from the dead
and is now at the right hand of Father God. He is our Intercessor and
Great High Priest, and He will return again to establish His Kingdom of
righteousness and justice. The Holy Spirit is a Divine Person, Executor of
the Godhead on earth, the Comforter sent by Jesus Christ to indwell,
guide, illuminate, convict and teach the believer. He is the Spirit of Truth.
3. Humanity, the Fall, Redemption Romans 5:12; 3:23; 3:10; Ephesians 2:8;
John 3:16
Man is a created being, made in the likeness and image of God, but
through Adam’s transgression, rebellion, and fall, sin came into the world.
Jesus Christ, the Son of God, was manifested to undo the work of the
devil: and through His shed Blood on Calvary, redeems and restores man
back to God. Salvation is the gift of God to men, separate from works and
the law, and is made operative by Grace through Faith in Jesus Christ,
producing works acceptable to God.
4. The Church Colossians 1:18; Ephesians 4:15; 1 Peter 1:23; I Corinthians
12:7-11; Mark 16:15-20
The True Church is the Living Spiritual Body of Jesus Christ, Christ being
the head. The Church is made up of born-again believers, born of the
Spirit and by the Word. The various gifts and offices of the Holy Spirit are
delegated to the Church and are necessary for the fulfillment of the Great
Commission, which Christ gave to His Disciples and to His Church.
5. Ministry Ephesians 4:11-12
We believe that God calls men and women by His Holy Spirit to serve as
Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors, Counselors, Missionaries and
Teachers for the perfecting of the Saints. We believe that the laity of the
Church have a responsibility to serve as ministers of reconciliation and
in the “Ministry of Helps.”
6. The Sacred Sacraments & Ordinances
Water Baptism: Immersion is a direct command of our Lord Jesus Christ,
and is for the Born-Again believer. All candidates should testify to being
Born-Again and receive Biblical instruction regarding this Commitment.
Matthew 28:19; Romans 6:4; Colossians 2:12; Acts 8:36-39
Spirit Baptism: We believe in the Baptism of the Holy Ghost and Fire and
that it is a gift of God, promised by the Lord Jesus Christ to all believers
in this dispensation, and is given after Salvation. According to Acts 2:4;
this Immersion in the Holy Ghost is evidenced by speaking in other
tongues as the Holy Spirit gives utterance. This is the physical sign of the
inward fulfillment. We believe in the operation of the Gifts of the Spirit.
Matthew 3:11: John 14:16-17; Acts 1:8, 2:4, 38-39; 10:44-48;
1 Corinthians 12:4-17
Baby Dedication: We find no scriptural evidence of infants being
baptized; therefore, we dedicate them unto the Lord as did Hannah with
her son, Samuel, and as our Lord Jesus Christ was dedicated and
blessed. In Jesus’ own example, He said, “Suffer the little children to
come unto Me, and forbid them not, “ and then He blessed the little
children. Luke 2:25-28; Matthew 19:14-15; Mark 10:14
Sanctification (Holiness): We believe in the Doctrine of Sanctification as a
definite, yet progressive, work of Grace, beginning at Salvation and
continuing perpetually.
Hebrews 13:12; 2 Thessalonians 2:13; 1 Peter 1:2; Ephesians 5:26; 1
Corinthians 6:11; John 17:17; I Thessalonians 5:23
The Lord’s Supper: The Sacrament of the Lord’s Supper was instituted by
The Lord Jesus Christ and is a memorial to His Death and Resurrection.
The Bread and the Fruit of the Vine are an expression of the Body and
Blood of our Saviour when blessed, broken and given. We believe that
children should be taught this worship at a very early age by their
parents and the Church. We believe in the humility of foot washing as set
forth by our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 11:26-27; Matthew 26:29;
Mark 14:22; Luke 22:18
Intercession: We believe in prayer for the sick, prayer for deliverance,
the laying on of hands, Anointing with Holy oil, and Intercession by the
Spirit. Mark 16:18; John 5:14-15; Romans 8:26
Rapture, Revelation and Eternal Life: We believe the Word of God
promises us this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven,
shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven. His
coming is imminent, We believe in the Thousand Year Reign. We believe
that it is unwise to teach a fixed time for the Lord’s return, but to exhort
readiness at all times. Acts 1:11; I Thessalonians 4:16-17;
Revelation 20:6; Mark 13:32-33; Hebrews 9:27
7. Eternal Life
All of humanity will inherit Eternal Life. Heaven or hell! We believe if one
dies in an unregenerated condition, they will be eternally lost and hell will
be their eternal destination. Romans 6:23
As Christian Bible believers, we subscribe to the following Declaration of
the things which are most surely believed among us: Praying that we may
