Statement of Faith
A brief summary of our essential beliefs.
We believe that the sixty-six books of the Bible are the final, completed inspired revelation of God. The scriptures were inspired in an inerrant, verbal, and plenary fashion.
We believe that there is one God who has eternally existed in three persons who are co-eternal, co-equal, and consubstantial: the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We believe God is spirit, sovereign, self-existent, creator, sustainer, transcendent, holy, loving, immutable, and infinite.
We believe that Jesus Christ is eternally fully God and while remaining so, also took on full sinless humanity at the virgin birth. We believe in His sinlessness, literal miracles, death, burial, bodily resurrection, bodily ascension, exaltation, present intercession, and future bodily return to earth.
We believe that the Holy Spirit is eternally fully God and personal. He convicts the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment and ministers to exalt the Son.
He is the applier of redemption and the great Comforter to the believers.
We believe that man is dead in sin and personally helpless under the just wrath of God. Yet, we also believe according to the scriptures that salvation is solely due to the grace of God by faith alone in Jesus’ vicarious propitiatory death, burial, and resurrection.
We believe in the security and perseverance of the saints by the grace of God. We believe that God intends saints to grow and mature on to Christlikeness in the fellowship of the local church.
We believe in the future literal bodily imminent return of Jesus Christ. We believe in the just judgement of the wicked in a literal eternal hell and the eternal rest of the righteous.
