STATEMENT OF FAITH

We believe the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the inspired Word of God true, sufficient, and the final authority for faith and practice.

We believe there is one true and living God, the Creator of all things, who exists eternally in three distinct Persons- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (the Trinity).

We believe God created humanity in His image, and that all people have sinned and fall short of God’s holy standard, leaving us unable to save ourselves.

We believe the just penalty of sin is death and eternal separation from God.

We believe Jesus Christ is the promised Messiah, conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary, fully God and fully man, who lived a sinless life.

We believe Jesus Christ died on the cross as a substitutionary sacrifice for our sins, satisfying God’s justice and demonstrating God’s love.

We believe Jesus Christ rose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven, and will return in power and glory to gather His Church and to judge the world.

We believe there will be a future resurrection of the dead: those who repent and trust in Jesus Christ will be raised to eternal life with God, and those who reject Him will be raised to eternal judgment and separation from God.

We believe salvation is by God’s grace alone, through faith alone, in Jesus Christ alone. All who turn from sin (repent) and trust in Christ are forgiven, reconciled to God, and adopted into His family.

This Statement of Faith summarizes our core biblical beliefs and provides doctrinal guidance for the teaching and ministry of the church.
