OUR BELIEFS

Our Statement of Faith does not exhaust the extent of our beliefs. The Bible itself, as the inspired and infallible Word of God that speaks with final authority concerning truth, morality, and the proper conduct of mankind, is the sole and final source of all that we believe.

  • We believe the Bible is the inspired, inerrant, and authoritative Word of God. We believe the Bible is the final authority in every area it addresses for every individual Christian, as well as for the church collectively. (2 Timothy 3:16-17, 2 Peter 1:21, John 10:35)

  • We believe that God the Son became a human being in the person of Jesus Christ. That He was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, lived a sinless life (for He was without sin), died a substitutionary death for the sins of all mankind, was raised from the dead the third day, ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God until His enemies are made His footstool. (John 1:1, 14, Matthew 1:18-25, 2 Corinthians 5:21, 1 Peter 3:18, 1 Corinthians 15:3-4, Luke 24:51, Hebrews 10:12-13)

  • We believe that as a result of the Fall, all people are sinful by nature and choice. As a consequence for our sin, we deserve divine judgment and are therefore in need of a Savior. We believe that Jesus Christ is the only true Savior of the world. If anyone turns to Him in genuine repentance and faith; receiving Him as their personal Savior and Lord, they will be saved eternally. Salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, apart from meritorious works. (Romans 3:10, Romans 3:23, Romans 5:8, Romans 6:23, Matthew 1:21, John 14:6, Acts 17:30, John 1:12, Ephesians 2:8-9)

  • We believe in the eternal security of every true child of God. That eternal security relies on the Lord’s guarantee of each believer’s adoption as His son or daughter, and His seal of the believer by the Holy Spirit. That a person who professes genuine repentance and faith in Christ immediately becomes His possession, and nothing can snatch that person out of His or the Father’s hands. That having been bought with the price of Jesus Christ’s blood as complete payment for sin, Christians are not their own; they are Christ’s possession. This assurance is absolutely certain, reserved in heaven, protected by God’s unlimited power.  (Galatians 4:4-7, 2 Corinthians 1:21-22, Ephesians 1:13-14, Luke 23:42-43, Acts 2:40-41, Acts 16: 30-34, John 10:27-29, 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, 1 Peter 1:4-5)

  • We believe there is one church, the body of Christ, consisting of men and women from every tribe, tongue, people, and nation. We believe that each local congregation is an expression of that universal church. We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ. (Ephesians 4:4, 1 Corinthians 12:12-13, Revelation 5:9, Acts 2:42-47)

  • We believe that God created human beings, male and female, in His own image. He created them sinless, equal in value, dignity, and worth. According to His purpose and design, God created to fulfill distinct but complementary roles in the contexts of marriage, family, and the local church. (Genesis 1:26-28, Ephesians 5:22-6:4, 1 Timothy 3:1-7)

  • We believe in the pre-millennial return of Christ to the earth, to sit upon the throne of David and rule over the house of Jacob (Israel), and the entire cosmos, forever. (Revelation 20:1-6, Luke 1:31-33, Isaiah 9:6-7)
