Our Faith
The Triune God

We believe that the one and only God is Spirit, self-existing, infinite, personal, immutable and eternal in His being. We believe in His perfect holiness, love, justice, goodness, wisdom and truth, omnipotence, Omniscience, and Omnipresence. We believe that God is the Creator and sustainer of the universe, and that He is eternally existent in three persons, one in substance and co- equal in power and glory- Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

The Bible

We believe that the Bible, consisting of the sixty-six books of both old and new testaments, given by divine inspiration, is inherent in its original manuscripts and is the final authority in matters pertaining to faith and conduct. We accept the right and duty of personal judgment, under the illumination of the Holy Spirit, in the interpretation of the Holy Scripture. II Timothy 3:16, I Peter 1:25, II Peter 1: 21. .
