STATEMENT OF FAITH
One Eternal God, Three Persons: God the Father, Son, & Holy Spirit (Ephesians 4:4-6; Colossians 1:9-14, 17; 1 John 5:7)
- The Father: The all-wise, unchanging, perfect, and holy Creator of all things (Revelation 4:11).
- The Son: The world was made through Him & for Him (Colossians 1:16); our Great High Priest pleads before the Throne on our behalf (Romans 8:34; Hebrews 7:22-25).
- The Holy Spirit: Regenerates believers and empowers us to become more like Christ (Romans 8:1-2); intercedes for us in prayer (Romans 8:26-27).
The Bible: God’s primary source of revelation to us consists of sixty-six books of the Old and New Testaments. His Word is infallible and inerrant (Psalm 18:30; 2 Timothy 3:16-17; Hebrews 4:12-13, 6:18).
The Gospel: The good news that Jesus Christ died in the place of sinners and has redeemed by His blood those who believe on His name and repent of their sins (Mark 1:15; Romans 5:8). The truth that Jesus Christ is the only means of salvation (John 14:6).
Mankind: All are made in the image of God and, therefore, have incredible worth (Genesis 1:27). Creating two beings, male and female, God has a distinct purpose in revealing His attributes to the world through two unique sexes (Genesis 1:27). Marriage is between one man and one woman (Genesis 2:22-24; Ephesians 5:25). All humanity are sinners in need of the salvation God offers freely to those who accept Him as Savior (Romans 3:23).
The World: Created & sustained by the power of God’s word (Genesis 1; Hebrews 1:3). Like mankind, the world was created “good” but now suffers the effects of the Fall (Genesis 3). Under the influence of Satan, the prince of the power of this world, individuals are deceived and blinded to the light of the Gospel (2 Corinthians 4:4). Believers are called to live a life characterized by love for the lost (Matthew 5:43-45).
