STATEMENT OF BELIEFS
SCRIPTURES:
We believe both the Old and New Testament are the divinely inspired Word of God without error in its original manuscripts, the divine and final authority for all Christian life, and the full and complete revelation of God’s plan for salvation (Prov 30:5, Isa 40:8, Matt 4:4, 2 Tim 3:16-17, 2 Peter 1:20-11).
TRIUNE GOD:
We believe in one God, maker and ruler of all things who eternally existed as three distinct equal Persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit (Deut 6:4, Matt 28:19, 2 Cor 13:14, Rev 1:8).
We believe in one Savior the God-Man, Jesus Christ who is fully God and fully man existing as one person. He lived a sinless life, was the incarnate pre-existent Word of God, conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, the exact representation of God, crucified for man’s transgression as the substitutionary atonement, buried, resurrected, ascended to the right hand of God and will return to judge the living and the dead (Is 53:5, Jn 1:1, Heb 4:15, 1 Pet 2:22, Lk 24:6-7).
We believe the Holy Spirit is God. The Holy Spirit is to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ, convict men of their sins, regenerate the believer, indwell, guide, instruct, and empower the believer for godly living and service (Gen 1:1-2, Jn 16:8, Acts 1:8; 5:3-4, 2 Cor 3:17).
HUMANITY:
We believe all of humanity is created in the image of God and thereby possess intrinsic value and dignity. God has assigned men and women as His agents to care for, manage and govern over His creation according to His mercy, justice and purposes (Gen 1:26-27; 2:15, Isa 58:6-11, Mic 6:8).
We believe God created Adam and Eve to complement each other in a one-flesh union in the covenant of marriage that establishes the only God-ordained pattern of gender and sexual relations for men and women (Gen 2:24, Matt 19:4-6, Mk 7:20-23, Rom 1:27-28, 1 Cor 6:14-15).
SIN:
We believe that the fall of Adam and Eve has fractured all of creation and humanity. As a result of their rebellion towards God the entire human race has inherited a corrupt nature that is opposed to God and His law. All unregenerate humans are radically depraved and have no hope for salvation outside of Christ (Ps 53:1-3, Jer 17:9, Rom 3:9023, Eph 2:3).
SALVATION:
We believe salvation is by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone.
We believe salvation is an act of God given to those whom God calls by His grace to respond in faith to His saving work on the Cross-providing atonement and full forgiveness.
We believe the shed blood of Jesus and His resurrection provide the only means for forgiveness, justification and salvation and thereby every believer is sealed and lives in continual regeneration of the Holy Spirit (Eph 2:8-9, Rom 3:24-25; 5:9-11, 1 Jn 2:2, Tit 3:5).
HEAVEN AND HELL:
We believe that both heaven and hell are literal places created by God for believers to enjoy eternal fellowship with God or eternal judgment for those who reject Christ (Matt 25:46, Jn 5:28-20, Lk 16:22-23, Rev 21:1-4).
SACREMENTS:
We believe water baptism is a physical expression and celebration of a believer’s faith in the burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ but it is not a means to salvation (Matt 28:19, Rom 6:3-4, 1 Pet 3:21).
We believe the Lord’s Supper (Communion) is to be observed by the Church as an expression of thanksgiving and a remembrance of Jesus’ sacrifice on the Cross (Lk 22:19-20, 1 Cor 11:23-26).
THE CHURCH:
We believe the Church is composed of all regenerated believers who are sealed by the Holy Spirit, united by the body of Christ of which Jesus is the Head and Bridegroom (1 Cor 12:12-13, Eph 4:4-6; 5:23, Col 1:18).
END TIMES:
We believe our Lord Jesus Christ will physically and visibly return with his holy angels to judge the living and the dead and will restore His Kingdom unto Himself. At this time there will be a bodily resurrection of all the dead-for the believer to eternal blessedness with God-for the unbeliever eternal separation and condemnation (Act 1:11, 1 Thess 4:16-17, Rev 1:7; 20:11-15).
