Statement of Faith
All of our staff and volunteers must affirm our Statement of Faith as follows:
1. We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the infallible authoritative Word of God.
2. We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
3. We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and
atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and His personal
return in power and glory.
4. We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful people, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential.
5. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a Godly life.
6. We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life and they that are
lost unto the resurrection of damnation.
7. We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in Christ.
I agree with and will adhere to the above Statement of Faith.
