The purpose
of this church, under the headship of the Lord Jesus Christ, by the
power of the Holy Spirit, is to evangelize and make disciples of all men
to the glory of God. To equip each member for the work of the ministry
and to edify the Body of Christ. This church provides for its
members and the community a place of worship and sanctuary consistent
with the Bible. It will be organizationally autonomous and
non-denominational.
Statement
of Faith:
We
accept the Bible as our authority in matters of faith and practice and
all other areas that it addresses including history, science and facts, and
adopt the following Confession of Faith:
-
We believe the
Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are verbally inspired of
God, inerrant in the original writings, infallible, true and
trustworthy, and that they are of supreme and final authority.

one of the three Persons of the Trinity, who convicts the world of
sin, righteousness and of judgment. He lives in every believer, and
He empowers and equips people to live the Christian life and to
serve the Lord. He is the giver of Spiritual Gifts, and He
distributes the gifts sovereignly as He wills.

|
Acts 1:8 |
|
1 Corinthians 12:11 |
|
|

created in the image of God, that man sinned and, thereby, incurred
not only physical death but spiritual death, which is separation
from God, and that all human beings are born with a sinful nature.

the Lord Jesus Christ through faith are born again of the Holy

thereby they become children of God and heirs of eternal life. This
is a relationship in which they are eternally secure.

|

|

-
We believe in the bodily
resurrection of all people; the just and the unjust. We believe in
everlasting, abundant life with God for those who trust in Jesus
Christ for salvation; and everlasting, conscious suffering for those
who do not trust in Jesus Christ for salvation. This demands a
literal heaven and hell.

punished in the Lake of Fire.
