What we believe

What we believe in Brief:

 

We believe...

 

We believe the Bible to be the only inspired, infallible, authoritative written Word of God and that our lives should be lived in accordance with its teachings.

 

We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

 

We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ and affirm that He was fully God and fully man.

 

We believe in the virgin birth of Jesus Christ, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.

 

We believe that man receives salvation through faith in the redemptive work of Jesus Christ and that the presence of saving faith is revealed by a life characterized by repentance of sin and lived in obedience to the will of God.

 

We believe regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential for the salvation of lost, sinful man.

 

We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a life in accordance with God’s Word.

 

We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost, those who are saved unto the resurrection of life and those who are lost unto the resurrection of condemnation.

 

We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.

 

We believe the chief end of man to be to glorify God.

 

We believe marriage to be a holy institution inaugurated by God to be between one man and one woman.

 

We believe the foregoing Statement of Faith (SOF) accurately represents the teaching of the Bible and our beliefs in a nutshell. Our official SOF as contained in our Articles of Faith can be found on this website by following this link. ARTICLES OF FAITH   However, neither the SOF above nor our official SOF exhaust the extent of our faith, the Bible, God’s Word, is the sole and final source of all we believe.
