Statement of Faith

  1. Bible

    1. We believe that the entire Bible is verbally inspired by God and is inerrant in the original writings. Through the providence of God, the Word of God has been protected and preserved, and is the only infallible and authoritative rule of faith and practice. (2 Tim. 3:16-17; 2 Pet. 1:20-21)

  2. God

    1. We believe that there is only one true, living, sovereign, holy, and eternally existent God. He exists in three co-equal persons, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, each being a distinct person and with a  distinct function, but all of one essence and all possessing the same nature, perfections, and attributes. The triune God is the creator and sustainer of all things, the source of all truth, and is worthy of worship, confidence, and obedience. (Deut. 6:4-5; Gen. 1:31)

  3. Jesus Christ

    1. We believe that Jesus Christ is God. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, performed many miracles, shed His blood on the cross to pay the debt of our sins, was buried, bodily resurrected, ascended to the right of the Father, and will return literally, visibly, and personally, in glory and power. (Jn. 1:1-3; 14; Matthew 1:18-25; Phil. 2:5-9; Col. 1:15; I Cor. 15:1-8;  Acts 1:11)

  4. Holy Spirit

    1. We believe that the Holy Spirit of God is co-equal and co-existent with the Father and the  Son. He is the chief convictor of sin, the chief agent of regeneration and sanctification. The Holy Spirit lives within every believer and empowers every believer to live a godly life. (Jn. 14:16-19; 16:7-15; I  Cor. 6:19-20; Rom. 8:9,11; Titus 3:5)

  5. Humanity

    1. We believe that in the beginning God created mankind in His image. Mankind was originally created with the ability to live perfectly for God’s glory. (Gen. 1:1-27,31)

  6. Sin

    1. We believe that Adam, the first man, sinned by disobedience. This act resulted in the fall of mankind, therefore, all people have sinned and lost their ability to live for the glory of God. Every person’s sin incurs both physical and spiritual death until there is forgiveness and salvation by the grace of God. (Gen. 3:1-24; Rom. 3:10-23; 5:12-21; 6:23)

  7. Salvation

    1. We believe the salvation of lost and sinful people is a free gift of God’s grace apart from human works, based solely upon Christ’s vicarious and atoning death, affected by the regenerating work of the Holy Spirit, and received only through faith in the person and finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross and His resurrection from death. (Eph. 2:8-10; 2 Cor. 5:21)

  8. Evangelism

    1. We believe that it is the responsibility and privilege of every Christian to proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ and to seek to make growing disciples (Matt. 28:18-20; Acts 1:8)
