Statement Of Faith
• We believe the Bible is God’s infallible and inerrant Word revealing His thoughts and His will to man. It's the complete, final, and only authority in all matters of faith and conduct. We believe it’s been preserved for every generation. (2 Timothy 3:16,17; 1 Thessalonians 2:13; and 2 Peter 1:20,21)
• We believe there is only one God who eternally exists in three persons: God the
Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. (Matthew 28:19). God showed His
love by sending His son to die for sins so that all who believe in Him will receive eternal life. (Luke 18:27; John 3:16,17; Romans 11:33; 1 Peter 1:16; 1 John 4:7-10; Revelation 4:8.)
• We believe Jesus Christ is God, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His
miracles, in His death that paid for, our sin through His shed blood, in His bodily
resurrection, in His ascension/rising up to the right hand of the Father and in His
personal return in power and glory. (John 1:1; Matthew 1:18,25; Hebrews 4:15; Hebrews 9:15-22; 1 Corinthians 15:1-8; Acts 1:9-11; Hebrews 9:27-28)
• We believe that acceptance of Jesus Christ and the corresponding renewal of
the Holy Spirit are the only paths to salvation for lost/sinful men and women.
(John 3:16; John 5:24; Titus 3:3-7) John 1:12; Acts 2:38,39 and 8:26-40 and
16:25-34; 1 Peter 3:21,22.)
• We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, who lives within and guides
Christians so they are enabled to live godly lives. (John 14:15-26; John 16:5-16;
Ephesians 1:13-14)
• We believe in eternal life, and that through belief in Jesus Christ as the Son of
God, we spend eternity with the Lord in Heaven. We believe that in rejecting
Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, we receive eternal suffering in hell. (Matthew
25:31-46; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18)
• We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ, that all
believers are members of His body, the Church. (Philippians 2:1-4)
• We believe God’s design for sexual intimacy is to be expressed only within the
context of marriage, that God created man and woman to complement and
complete each other. God instituted marriage between one husband and one
wife as the foundation of the family and the basic structure of human society.
For this reason, we believe that marriage is exclusively the union of one man and
one woman. (Genesis 2:24; Matthew 19:5-6; Mark 10:6-9; Romans 1:26-27; 1 Corinthians 6:9)
• We believe that God created all human beings in His image. Therefore, we
believe that human life is sacred from conception to its natural end; that we
must honor the physical and spiritual needs of all people; following Christ’s
example, we believe that every person should be treated with love, dignity and
respect. (Psalm 139:13; Isaiah 49:1; Jeremiah 1:5; Matthew 22:37-39; Romans
12:20-21; Galatians 6:10)
