Statement of Faith
There is one God, Creator and Ruler of the universe,
existing in three persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit who are of
the same substance, co-equal and co-eternal.
Jesus Christ is God in the flesh. He is
simultaneously fully divine and fully human. He was born of a virgin, led a
sinless life, died on the cross and rose again bodily on the third day. Because
He ever lives, He alone is our High Priest and advocate.
The ministry of the Holy Spirit is to glorify the Lord
Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit convicts of sin, regenerates, indwells, guides,
and instructs, as well as empowers the believer for godly living and service.
God has revealed Himself through the Bible, both Old and
New Testaments. Its 66 books are God’s complete, inerrant, inspired written
revelation for the salvation of man. The Bible is the final authority regarding
Christian life and salvation.
All have sinned and come short of the glory of God.
Mankind is saved by grace alone through faith alone on
account of Jesus Christ alone. Salvation is a free gift from God to believers
who are made righteous by the obedience of Christ and become adopted
children of God by faith in Him.
Christ’s church is made up of individuals who have
recognized their lost state and placed their trust in the redeeming work of
Christ for their salvation.
Jesus Christ will return bodily for His own. All true
believers will reign with Him throughout eternity.
There will be a bodily resurrection of both the just and
the unjust, the just to everlasting life, the unjust to everlasting damnation.
