Our Statement of Faith
1. There is one God, self-existent, yet in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. He is the Creator and Sustainer of all things in heaven and on earth.
2. The Word of God was the means, energy and design of bringing all creation into existence, in six natural days. This same Word of God is revealed completely in the holy scriptures and in the person of Jesus Christ; there is only one Word.
3. Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God. He laid aside His glory to be born of a virgin, that he might give His life as the atonement for our sins; He was resurrected from the dead and is now ruling all from the right hand of the Father.
4. The Holy Spirit, as the third person of the Trinity, is now in the world bearing witness to Christ, regenerating sinners who will then believe and obey the Christ.
5. The Old and New Testaments, inspired by God and inerrant in the original writings, and providentially preserved, are of infallible and unequal authority, completely sufficient.
6. Every person is born with a sinful nature which involves both physical death and spiritual death, making it impossible for any to attain right standing with God by any merit of his own.
7. Salvation is offered to all men through the grace of God alone and procured in particular by the death of Jesus Christ on the cross for His people.
8. The church is the body of Christ on earth, a redeemed fellowship of believers. It is God's institution for bringing redemption and sanctification to individuals, nations and creation.
9. The Lordship of Christ should prevail in the life of every believer, with visible, consistent separation from sin unto holiness, an attitude of redemptive love toward all men and a daily walk with Christ.
10. With the visible return of Jesus Christ, there will be a bodily resurrection of all, with everlasting blessedness for the righteous; for the unbelieving, eternal separation from God and eternal suffering and the end to history.
