Statement of faith
We believe that the Holy Scriptures, consisting of Old and New Testaments, were originally given by God, divinely inspired, without error, infallible, and are entirely trustworthy and the supreme authority in all matters of faith and practice.
We believe in one God, creator of all things, eternally existent in three persons:
Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
We believe in our Lord Jesus Christ, God manifest in the flesh, his virgin birth,
sinless life, divine miracles, vicarious and atoning death on the cross, bodily
resurrection, ascension and exultation, mediatorial work, and personal, imminent, and visible return in power and glory.
We believe that Adam and Eve, created in the image of God, were tempted by
Satan, the god of this world, and fell; that their sin has passed to all people, who
as a result are lost, are unable to save themselves from the wrath of
God, and need to be saved.
We believe that salvation is a gift of God to those who repent and personally
believe in Jesus Christ; that it is accomplished by God’s grace through the shed
blood of the Lord Jesus Christ and regeneration by the Holy Spirit.
We believe in God the Holy Spirit who indwells all believers, enabling them to live holy lives and to witness and work for the Lord Jesus Christ despite opposition from the world, the flesh, and Satan.
We believe in the spiritual unity of all true believers, the universal church, the Body of Christ.
We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; those who are
saved unto the resurrection of eternal life with God, those who are lost
unto the resurrection of eternal condemnation, separated from God.
We believe that Christ commanded the church to go into all the world and make
disciples of all peoples, baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy
Spirit, and teaching those who believe to obey all that Christ commanded.
