Jesus, cast a look on me. Give me sweet simplicity. Make me poor and keep me low. Seeking only Thee to know.

Statement of Faith

I believe in God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth; And in Jesus Christ His only Son, our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried;the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into Heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God, the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Christian church, the communion of the saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.

furthermore . . .

I believe the Bible to be the inspired and authoritative Word of God.
I believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
I believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ,
in His virgin birth,
in His sinless life,
in His miracles,
in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood,
in His bodily resurrection,
in His ascension to the right hand of the Father,
and in His personal return in power and glory.

I believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.

I believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.

I believe in the spiritual unity of believers in Jesus Christ.
