STATEMENT OF FAITH
The law of the Lord is perfect, refreshing the soul.
The statutes of the Lord are trustworthy, making wise the simple. The precepts of the Lord are right, giving joy to the heart. The commands of the Lord are radiant, giving light to the eyes. The fear of the Lord is pure, enduring forever.
The decrees of the Lord are firm, and all of them are righteous.
Psalm 19: 7-9 (NIV)
​
Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet’s own interpretation of things. For prophecy never had its origin in the human will, but prophets, though human, spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.
2 Peter 1:20-21(NIV)
​
I believe that the bible is the living, unchanging Word of God. Every word is inspired by God. It is completely relevant and is sufficient to meet all our spiritual needs.
​
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
Luke 2:11(KJV)
​
Who has ascended into heaven, or descended? Who has gathered the wind in His fists? Who has bound the waters in a garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is His name, and what is His Son’s name, If you know?
Proverbs 30:4 (NKJV)
​
And Thomas answered and said to Him, “My Lord and my God!”
John 20:28 (NKJV)
​
I believe that Jesus Christ is God and that He became a man in order to die on the cross as a substitute for sinners. He rose from the dead three days later, and today He is in Heaven at the Father's right hand.
​
Then He said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.” And those who sat at the table with Him began to say to themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”Then He said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you. Go in peace.”
Luke 7:48; 50
​
8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast. 10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
Ephesians 2:8-10
​
I believe that mankind is born with sinful nature. Our sin separates us from God and renders us helpless to save ourselves. Only through the death of Christ can we be cleansed and forgiven.
​
8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Romans 5:8
​
​I believe that salvation is by grace through faith. Eternal life is found exclusively in the person and work of Jesus Christ. Reception of Christ as Saviour and Lord is necessary if one is to be saved.
​​​
16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
John 3:16 (NIV)
I believe in the resurrection of the body and life eternal. I believe that God concerns Himself mercifully in the affairs of each individual and that He hears and answers prayers. I believe He saves from sin and death all who come to Him through Jesus Christ.
​​​
3 For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures, 5 and that He was seen by Cephas, then by the twelve. 6 After that He was seen by over five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain to the present, but some have fallen asleep. 7 After that He was seen by James, then by all the apostles. 8 Then last of all He was seen by me also, as by one born out of due time.
1 Corinthians 15:3-8 (NKJV)
​
28 And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.
John 10:28 (NKJV)
​​​
I believe there is one only true God, but in the unity of the Godhead, there are three co-eternal persons, the same in substance but distinct in substance. The Godhead consist of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
​​​
In the beginning, was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him, nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.
John 1:1-5 (NKJV)
​
I am the Lord, and there is no other;
There is no God besides Me.
I will gird you, though you have not known Me,
Isaiah 45:5 (NKJV)
​
And the angel answered and said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God.
Luke 1:35-38 (NKJV)
