Full Statement of beliefs

  1. We believe . . . that the Bible is the verbally inspired Word of God and without mistakes as originally written. It is the complete revelation of God’s will for salvation and the only unfailing rule of faith and practice for the Christian life.
  2. We believe . . . in one God, Creator of all things, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and that these three are co-eternal and of equal dignity and power.
  3. We believe . . . in the deity of Jesus Christ; His miraculous conception by the Holy Spirit; His virgin birth; His sinless life; His substitutionary death on a cross; His bodily resurrection; His ascension to the right hand of the Father; and His personal, imminent return.
  4. We believe . . . that man was created by and for God; that by man’s disobeying God, every person incurred spiritual death, which is separation from God, and physical death as a consequence; and that all people are sinners by nature and practice.
  5. We believe . . . that everlasting life is received by grace alone, through faith alone. Anyone who trusts in Jesus as their Savior is immediately saved, can enjoy assurance of their salvation, and will never lose their salvation.
  6. We believe . . . in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit indwelling all believers and thus enabling and empowering the life and ministry of the believer.
  7. We believe . . . in the bodily resurrection of everyone who has lived, the everlasting blessedness of those who have trusted Jesus, and the everlasting punishment of those who have rejected Him.
