Statement of Faith

We believe the Bible to be the only Word of God, written by men divinely inspired by God, and that it is the record of God’s revelation of Himself to man. It has God as its author, salvation for its end, and truth, without any mixture of error. The criterion by which the Bible is to be interpreted is Jesus Christ (Deuteronomy 4:12, 2 Timothy 3:15-17, 2 Peter 1:19-21).

We believe there is only on living and true God. He is an intelligent, spiritual, and personal Being, the Creator, Redeemer, Preserver, and Ruler of the universe. He reveals Himself to us as Father, Son and Holy Spirit, with distinct personal attributes, but without division of nature, essence, or being (John 1:1).

We believe Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man, born of a virgin (Matthew 1:18), and sinless in His life (Hebrews 4:15). He died vicariously on the cross as substitution for sinful men (Hebrews 9:15). He rose bodily from the grave (John 20:1-9) and now reigns with the Father (Acts 2:23). He will return visibly and personally to the earth, both in salvation and judgment (Acts 1:11, Hebrews 9:28).

We believe all humans are sinful by nature (Romans 3:23) and can only be forgiven by the expression of trust in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord (John 3:16), brought about by the regeneration work of the Holy Spirit (Titus 3:5-7).

We believe in the continuing ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life (Romans 8:1-7).
