What We Believe

Statement of Beliefs

We believe the following eight propositions to be taught in Scripture. All teaching across every age level conforms to them.

We Believe:

Triune God

In one God eternally existing in three persons - the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

The Bible

In the 66 books of the Old and New Testament alone as inspired by the Holy Spirit, inerrant as originally given, and that they are the final authority for our faith and practice.

Jesus Christ

In the incarnation and virgin birth of the Lord Jesus Christ, who by His shed blood and substitutionary death paid the redemptive price for all our sins and for the sins of the whole world. He rose bodily from the dead and ascended into heaven to intercede for us.

 Purpose & Fall

That man was created by God in His own image for the express purpose of glorifying Him, that through disobedience he became separated from God’s life and fellowship and that he needs personal redemption from sin through new birth.

Salvation

In eternal salvation of all who trust the Lord Jesus Christ as personal Savior and the eternal punishment of all who reject Him.

The Holy Spirit

In the work of God’s Spirit in the new birth, indwelling the believer, causing him to grow into the likeness of Christ and filling him with power to live a godly life and to bear witness to Jesus Christ.

One In Christ

In the union of all true believers as one body in Christ.

Future Hope

In the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ to the earth bodily to claim His own people, to vindicate Himself, and to set all things in order.
