Statement of Faith
Trinity
One God eternally existing in three distinct Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Each person is fully, equally, eternally God, possessing the very same nature and attributes. In God’s great work of salvation each member of the Trinity accomplishes distinct aspects of God’s eternal plan to save sinners, who are spiritually dead, through faith in Jesus Christ. (John 1:1-5)
God, the Father
There is only one living and true God. He is the eternal, infinite, all-knowing, all-powerful, all-wise Creator and supreme ruler of heaven and earth. He is loving, righteous, just, and merciful. In perfect love, He is concerned in our affairs and hears and answers prayer. Because He loves us, He sent Jesus Christ, His Son, so that all who believe in Him may be saved from sin and death. He is worthy of our worship, love, and trust. (John 3:16-18)
Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ is God’s one and only Son, who is fully God and fully man. He was with God the Father in the beginning of all creation and is eternal. That He was born of a virgin birth and was sinless. Because He was sinless, He was the perfect sacrifice for our sins, which He took on Himself on the cross. We believe that He died in our place for our sin, that He rose again, and that He ascended into heaven. We believe His promise that He will return with power and glory. Through His life, death, burial, and resurrection, Jesus Christ accomplished everything necessary for our salvation. Salvation is received by grace through faith in Him alone. (John 14:6)
Holy Spirit
The third person of the Trinity, divine and fully God, the Spirit was sent by the Father to reveal and glorify Jesus Christ. He is the comforter, brings scripture to our minds, teaches, and strengthens us until the return of Jesus in all His glory. He is active in turning the hearts of those who do not yet know Christ to place their trust in Him. He indwells every believer in Jesus as a constant companion. He helps shape the life of the believer to produce the “Fruit of the Spirit” as described in Galatians 5:22-23 and gives spiritual gifts for the benefit of the Body of Christ. The Holy Spirit enables a believer in Jesus to lovingly and boldly share the good news of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. (John 14:26)
The Bible
The Bible is the absolute inspired, authoritative, inerrant, and trustworthy Word of God, which consists of the 39 books of the Old Testament and 27 books of the New Testament written by human authors inspired by the Holy Spirit. The Bible is complete, final, and the absolute authority and standard against which all Christian belief and all behavior is measured. It is given to us so that we might know and enjoy God and walk in His ways. It shows us the path to life and makes clear the path of sin and death. (2 Timothy 3:15-17)
Salvation
Every human being is born in rebellion against God. The Bible calls this “sin” and the result of our rebellion is that we are spiritually “dead” and separated from God. We are powerless of earning our salvation and require God’s love and mercy. Through this great love, God sent Jesus Christ, as the perfect sacrifice for our rebellion. Through His death, burial, and resurrection, we can experience new birth and eternal life. There are no works which can possibly earn our redemption. It is a gift of grace through faith in Christ. He alone is our hope, our Savior, and our Lord. In Him alone can salvation be found. (Romans 6:23)
The Family
Marriage and the family were instituted by God with our first parents, Adam and Eve. Marriage is a covenant relationship instituted by God between one man and one woman. Marriage and the family form a foundational institution of human society and is a reflection of the relationship between Christ and His church. (Genesis 2:24’ Ephesians 5:31-33)
