Church Affirmation of Faith
- "We believe in the Father who is God Almighty. The Creator of all things and the Preserver of Light and Life.
- We believe in the Son, who is Jesus Christ, God's only begotten Son. He was human and divine, truly lived, suffered and died, rose again from the dead, ascended on high and is coming again.
- We believe that Jesus was sent by God to man. That whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life.
- We believe in the Holy Ghost, who was sent from God the Father and the Son. That the Holy Spirit convicts and converts sinners, dwells in the believer, keeps the believer from the power of sin and leads him to the father, through His Son, Jesus Christ.
- We believer the Bible is the word of God, given by inspiration through holy men. That in the bible, God seeks to reveal his will to man and man seeks to respond to God's revelation.
- We believe that the union of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost are revealed through His church. That all believers are united into one body - the Church.
- We believe that Christ is coming back for His holy Church, without spot or wrinkle.
- That without holiness in Spirit, soul and body, no man shall see the Lord. Amen."
