Statement of Faith

What we believe about the Bible:

Inspired by God (2 Timothy 3:16)
Consists of Old and New Testaments
Teaches Christians so that they may be equipped for every good work (2 Timothy 3:16)

What we believe about God’s Plan for Salvation:

Sin
- All have sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God. (Romans 3:22)
- The penalty of sin is death. (Romans 6:23)
- Our sin has made a separation between man and God. (Isaiah 59:2)
Jesus Christ
- God’s only Son (John 3:16) came to earth, born of a virgin, is the
  Messiah, died on a cross at Calvary, rose from the dead on the third day, and is now seated at the right hand of God the Father, and will come again for the church in majesty and glory
- The BIBLE says, we must be “Born Again”. (John 3:5)
- “No one comes to the Father except through Christ. Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.”

In Order to be saved, you must:

Recognize that you are a sinner. (Romans 3:23)
Receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, by:
1. Believing He is God’s Son and that He died for you to remove sin’s penalty. (Acts 16:3)
2. Repent of your sin. (Acts 17:30)
3. Confess Jesus Christ before others. (Romans 10:9-10)
4. Baptism ~ then be baptized into Him by immersion. (Mark 16:16)

You become a new creature in Jesus Christ (2 Cor. 5:17)

You are given the gift of the Holy Spirit. (Acts 2:38
1. The Holy Spirit gives you the power and strength to live for Christ and to produce fruit in your life. (Galatians 5:22-23)
