Statement of Faith
The Bible is God’s unique revelation to people. It is the inspired, infallible Word of God, and the supreme and final authority on all matters upon which it teaches. No other writings are vested with such divine authority.
All people are created in God’s image, yet apart from Jesus Christ all people are spiritually lost and deserve the judgment of God. However, God provides salvation through His son for those who put their trust in Him. Salvation cannot be earned through personal goodness or human effort. It is a gift that must be received in humble repentance and faith in Christ and His finished work on the cross. It is received in an act of obedience by the sinner to the command of God to be saved, and is demonstrated by an on-going desire to walk holy before the Lord.
God the Father
There is only one God, creator of heaven and earth. He exists eternally as three Persons – Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Each Person is fully God yet each is personally distinct from the other.
Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ, the second Person of the Trinity, was born of the Virgin Mary, lived a sinless human life, and willingly took upon Him all our sin. He bodily died and rose again in a physical resurrection. He is now seated at the right hand of the Father as our advocate and mediator. Someday, He will return to consummate history and to fulfill the eternal plan of God.
Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit, the third Person of the Trinity, convicts the world of sin and draws people to Christ. He indwells all believers and seals them unto the day of redemption. He empowers each believer to lead a Christ-like life, and gives each believer spiritual gifts.
Death seals the eternal destiny of each person. At the final judgment, unbelievers will be separated from God into eternal condemnation. Believers will be received into God’s eternal and loving presence and rewarded for their faithfulness to Him.
The local church is a congregation of believers who gather for worship, prayer instruction, encouragement, and mutual accountability and community with each other. Through the local church, the believer invests time, energy, and resources to fulfill the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20).
The local church is to practice two sacraments: that of ceremonial baptism in water for public profession of our faith in Jesus Christ, and the receiving of the communion elements, symbolizing the blood and the body of Christ.
