Statement of Faith

It is the will of God that in union with Christ each believer should be sanctified thoroughly (16) thereby being separated from sin and the world and fully dedicated to God, receiving power for holy living and sacrificial and effective service toward the completion of Christ's commission (17). This is accomplished through being filled with the Holy Spirit which is both a distinct event and progressive experience in the life of the believer (18).

Provision is made in the redemptive work of the Lord Jesus Christ for the healing of the mortal body. Prayer for the sick and anointing with oil as taught in the Scriptures are privileges for the Church in this present age (19).

The universal Church, of which Christ is the Head, consists of all those who believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, are redeemed through His blood, regenerated by the Holy Spirit, and commissioned by Christ to go into all the world as a witness, preaching the Gospel to all nations (20). The local church, the visible expression of the universal Church, is a body of believers in Christ who are joined together to worship God, to observe the ordinances of Baptism and the Lord's Supper, to pray, to be edified through the Word of God, to fellowship, and to testify in word and deed to the good news of salvation both locally and globally. The local church enters into relationships with other like-minded churches for accountability, encouragement and mission (21).

There shall be a bodily resurrection of the just and of the unjust; for the former, a resurrection unto life (22); for the latter, a resurrection unto judgment (23).

The second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ is imminent and will be personal and visible (24). As the believer’s blessed hope, this vital truth is an incentive for holy living and sacrificial service toward the completion of Christ's commission (25).
