Statement of Faith: Please acknowledge your agreement * STATEMENT OF FAITH
We believe the Bible to be the inspired and only infallible, authoritative Word of God (II Timothy 3:16, II Peter 1:21).
We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and that God is the Creator of
Heaven and Earth (Genesis 1:1, Matthew 28:19, John 10:30).
We believe:
in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ (John 10:33);
His virgin birth (Isaiah 7:14, Matthew 1:23, Luke 1:35);
His sinless life (Hebrews 4:15, 7:26);
His miracles (John 2:11);
His atoning, substitutionary death through His shed blood (I Corinthians 15:3, Ephesians 1:7, Hebrews 2:9);
His bodily resurrection (John 11:25, I Corinthians 15:4);
His ascension to the right hand of the Father (Mark 16:19);
and His personal return in power and glory (Acts 1:11, Revelation 19:11).
We believe that every person has sinned and has fallen short of the glory of God which leads to death and eternal separation from God.
(Romans 3:23, 5:12).
We believe that God loves each person and desires the salvation of all which leads to eternal life. (II Peter 3:9, Romans 5:8, 6:23).
We believe that salvation is the gift of God by His Grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone. (Romans 10:9, John 3:16, Romans 6:23,
Ephesians 2:8-9, John 5:28-29).
We believe that the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential for salvation of the lost whereby sinful man becomes a new and transformed
creation (John 3:16-19, 5:24, Romans 3:23, 5:8- 9, II Corinthians 5:17, Titus 3:5).
We believe in the on-going ministry of the Holy Spirit, by who’s in-dwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life
(Romans 8:13- 14, I Corinthians 3:16, 6:19, 20, Ephesians 4:30, 5:18).
We believe that all human life is sacred and created by God in His image. We are therefore called to defend, protect, and value all
human life. (Genesis 1:26-27, Psalms 139:13-16).
We believe that God has uniquely caused us to be born male and female, and we affirm that God’s plan and benevolent intentions for
human sexuality is found within the context of marriage between one man and one woman. We affirm the goodness of sexuality in
the context of marriage, the importance of purity, fidelity, and the sacredness of marriage (Genesis 2:23-24, Deuteronomy 6:6-7,
Matthew 19:4-5, Mark 10:6-9.)
We believe in the spiritual unity of believers as the body of Christ in the world today. (Acts 2:42-47, Ephesians 4:3, Romans 8:9,
I Corinthians 12:12- 13, Galatians 3:26-28).
