Statement of Faith

Section 1: Preface

Our statement of faith includes only truths upon which all true Christians agree. It concerns the Person and Work of Jesus Christ (the Gospel) as revealed in Scripture. It is the faith once delivered to the saints (Jude 3, Eph. 4:5) which distinguishes believers from non-believers. There are many other precious truths taught in the Bible over which godly men have deferred in understanding. Therefore, this is not a statement of all that is important to believe, but of all that is essential to believe for Christian fellowship and unity (Rom. 15:7)

Section 2: Statement that we Believe

The Bible to be inspired, infallible, divinely preserved Word of God, the supreme and final authority for all faith and life.
That there is one living and true God; an infinite, intelligent Spirit, perfect in all his attributes, one in essence but eternally subsistent in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
In the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His vicarious and atoning death through His imminent bodily return in power and glory.
That man was created in the image of God, but fell into sin and is therefore lost, and only those who put their faith in Jesus Christ alone, not trusting in any personal works whosoever, can be saved.
That salvation is the free gift of God brought to the sinner by grace and received by personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, whose substitutionary death on the cross paid the penalty for man’s sin.
That the ministry of the Holy Spirit is to convict mankind indwell, guide, instruct and empower the believer for the godly living service.
