Statement of Faith

We believe in the divine inspiration (2 Timothy 3:16), truthfulness (Proverbs 30:5), and authority (John 1:1) of both the Old and New Testament Scriptures in their entirety without error (2 Peter 1:20-21). They are the only written word of God in all they affirm, and the only infallible rule of faith and practice (Romans 10:17).

We believe in the one eternal God (Mark 12:29), Creator and Lord of the universe (Genesis 1:1), always existing in three persons (John 17:11): Father, Son and Holy Spirit, each possessing divine perfection.

We believe God, the Father, is perfect in holiness (Deuteronomy 32:4), infinite in wisdom (Psalm 139:1-16), and measureless in power (Jeremiah 32:17). He concerns Himself mercifully in the affairs of men, hears and answers prayer, and saves all who come to Him by faith through Jesus Christ (Ephesians 1:11).

We believe God, the Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, is God’s only begotten Son (Galatians 4:4), conceived by the Holy Spirit (Luke 1:35), born of the Virgin Mary (Matthew 1:20), and is true God and man (Colossians 2:19), and sinless in His life (Hebrews 4:15). We believe in His miracles (Acts 19:11), in His vicarious and atoning death (Romans 3:25) through shed blood (John 19:34), in His bodily resurrection (Matthew 28:1-10), in His ascension to the right hand of the Father (Luke 24:51), and in His personal visible return to the world (Hebrews 9:28) according to His promise.

We believe God, the Holy Spirit, is the third person of the Trinity (Mark 1:10-11) who came from God to convict the world of sin (John 16:8), righteousness, and judgment and to regenerate all who believe in Jesus Christ (Ezekiel 36:25-27). We believe He indwells the believer (1 Corinthians 6:19) and by His present ministry, enables the Christian to live a godly life (Romans 8:4-6), different from the world.

We believe that all men by nature and by choice are perishing because of sin (1 John 1:8). God offers His life to all men (Genesis 6:5), not wishing that any should perish (Acts 17:30) but that all should repent. Those who reject Christ repudiate the joy of salvation and condemn themselves to eternal separation from God (2 Thessalonians 1:8-9). Believers are called upon to proclaim Jesus as the only Savior and to invite all men to respond to Him as Savior and Lord in a wholehearted personal commitment of repentance and faith (Matthew 28:19-20). Those who believe and confess Christ as Lord and Savior (Romans 10:10) will rejoice forever in God’s presence (Philippians 3:20-21).

We believe that God wonderfully and immutably creates each person as male or female. These two distinct, complimentary genders together reflect the image and nature of God (Genesis 1:27-28). Rejection of one’s biological sex is a rejection of the image of God within that person.
