Our Statement of Faith We believe there is only one God. His presence and authority have always existed and have no end. We accept the entire Bible as the truth- ful and authoritative word of God. We believe God has revealed himself as our Heavenly Father who has created all things visible and invisible, and who, out of love, desires all mankind should call upon His name and be saved. We believe Jesus Christ is Lord. He is the only begotten Son of God, born of a virgin without any sin whatsoever. He physically bled and died to be the only atoning sacrifice worthy to remove our sins. We believe God physically raised Jesus from the dead and that Jesus ascended to the right hand of the God the Father. We believe all authority in heaven and earth has been given to Jesus. Apart from the name of Jesus there is no other name by which we might be saved. We believe in the presence and work of God's Holy Spirit by whom we are called, counseled, strengthened, gifted and empowered to be loving people of God. We believe the Holy Spirit lives within those who God chooses and these are unified to become one body subject to Christ Jesus their head. We believe every human is sinful and in need of God's forgiveness through the blood of Christ in order to be saved. All mankind, living or dead, will stand alive before God at His appointed time. Those who through Jesus are saved will live eternally in paradise with God, but those who are not saved shall be separated from Him, condemned to everlasting punishment in hell. It is God's wish that all may be saved.
