Statement of Faith
We believe the Bible is the only inspired, infallible, authoritative Word of God in the original
text and the only rule of faith and practice. (2 Timothy 3:16-17)
We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy
Spirit. (Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14)
We believe in the deity and humanity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His
sinless life, in His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of
the Father, and His visible return in power and glory. (Colossians 1:13-20)
We believe that salvation is of the Grace of God and is merited by faith alone, and is not by
any work that can be done by us, but only by the perfect works of Jesus and His life, death,
and resurrection. (Ephesians 2:8-10)
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is the only mediator between God and Man. (1 Timothy 2:5)
We believe in the Holy Spirit, who, by spiritual indwelling, the Christian can live a godly life.
(Romans 8:9)
We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost, Those who are saved unto the
resurrection of eternal life and the lost unto the resurrection of eternal damnation. (John 5:24, 25,
28-29)
We believe that the universe originated from the creative acts of God, as revealed in the Holy
Bible, and that the form of every kind of life was set at the time of its creation. (Genesis 1:1;
John 1:1-3)
We believe that God created marriage as a blessing for both man and woman, to be between one man and one woman. They enter a covenant relationship, complement, serve, and sanctify one another for as long as they both shall live. Accordingly, we reject any attempt to redefine marriage as a union between people of the same sex or between more than one man and one woman. We believe that the homosexual lifestyle and alternative gender identities are contrary to the Bible. We believe that God loves all people, but His love does not nullify His law and judgement, as stated in the Bible. (Genesis 1:27-28, 2:15-24; Leviticus 18:22, 20:13a; Matthew 19:4-6; Romans 1:26-27; 1 Corinthians 7:14)
This statement of faith does not exhaust the extent of our beliefs. As God’s inspired and accurate Word, the Bible, is, was, and will always be the final authority concerning truth, morality, and humanity’s proper conduct.
