Statement of Faith

THE BIBLE:

We believe the Bible to be infallible, written Word of God, verbally inspired by the Holy Spirit, and the final authority in all matters of faith and conduct. (II Timothy 3:16)

 

THE TRINITY:

We believe in one God, Creator of all things, infinitely perfect and eternally existing in three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (John 1:1-3: Psalms 24:1-2)

 

CHRIST:

We believe that Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, that He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and became incarnate through the virgin birth, and that he lived a sinless life, that He was crucified as the substitute sacrifice for the sins of men, that He rose bodily from the dead, that He ascended into the heaven where He is now exalted at the right hand of the Father where He intercedes for the believer. (Hebrews 9:24-28; Acts 2:32-33)

 

THE HOLY SPIRIT:

We believe that the ministry of the Holy Spirit is to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ, and includes convicting men of sins, regenerating the repentant, and indwelling, guiding, instructing, and empowering the believer for godly living and service. (Romans 8:26-27; Ephesians 1:11-14)

 

SALVATION:

We believe all have sinned and come short of the glory of God and we believe in the salvation of sinners by grace, through repentance and faith in the perfect and sufficient work of the cross of Calvary by which we obtain the remission of sins. (Eph. 2: 8-9· I John 1:9; Romans 10:9)

 

THE RESURRECTION:

We believe in an eternal life with Christ for believers and eternal punishment for unbelievers.

(John 3:16-18)

 

FELLOWSHIP OF BELIEVERS:

We believe in the spiritual unity of believers and In our Lord Jesus Christ. (Phil. 2:1-2)

 

THE GREAT COMMISSION:

    We sow Christian heritage in the leaders of tomorrow as we believe Christ commissioned the Church to proclaim the Gospel throughout the world and to make disciples in every nation. (Matthew 28:19; Proverbs 22:6)
