  Doctrinal Statement  
     
  We believe…..  
     
  the Bible is the only wholly inspired Word of God, and that such Word of God is without error in its entire and original writing.   (1 Thess. 2:13, 2 Tim. 3:16, 1 Peter 1:24-25)  
     
  in one God, eternally existent in three Persons; the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit (Gen 1:1, John 10:30, John 10:37-38).  
     
  in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious death and atonement through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory (Isaiah 7:14; Matt 1:23; Luke 1:35; Heb 5:15; John 2:11; Heb 9:12; Eph 1:7; Col 1:14; John 11:25; Acts 1:11; Rev 1:11-16).  
     
  that for the salvation of the lost and sinful man, faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and regeneration by the Holy Spirit are essential (Rom 3:19, 23; John 3:16-19; John 5:24; Eph 2:8-10; Titus 3:456)  
     
  in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling and filling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life (Eph 5:18, Eph 4:30; 1 Cor 3:16; 1 Cor 6:19-20)  
     
  in the resurrection of the saved and the lost, the saved unto a life eternal in the presence of God and the lost unto damnation, separated from God (John 5:28-29)  
     
  in the spiritual unity of the Church which is the body of Christ, composed of all who have been regenerated through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 8:9, 2 Cor 12:12-13; Gal 3:26-28)  
     
  in the creation of man by the direct act of God (Gen 1:26-28; Gen 5:1-2)  
     
  in the eternal security of the believer (Heb 7-10).
