STATEMENT OF FAITH
Please carefully read our Statement of Faith and indicate your degree of support.
WE BELIEVE the Bible is the only inspired, inerrant, infallible and authoritative Word of God.
WE BELIEVE there is one God who eternally exists in three persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
WE BELIEVE that Jesus Christ, the second person of the Holy Trinity, was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died a sacrificial death for the sins of the world, rose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven, and is coming again to judge the living and the dead and to establish God’s kingdom of righteousness and peace on the earth.
WE BELIEVE that man is inherently sinful and is incapable of meriting God’s favor.
WE BELIEVE that salvation is by grace, through faith alone in the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross.
WE BELIEVE that the baptism of the Holy Spirit follows salvation.
WE BELIEVE in the sovereignty of God and the free will of man.
WE BELIEVE that the Church exists to worship God, edify itself in love, and proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ to a lost world.
WE BELIEVE that the book of Acts, as well as the epistles of the New Testament, provide the principles by which the Church is to function.
WE PLACE great importance on the exposition of the Scriptures, with a specific emphasis on verse-by-verse, chapter-by-chapter teaching through the entire Bible.
WE RELY strongly on the ministry of the Holy Spirit and seek to remain open to His leading. We believe that the Holy Spirit’s leading will always be consistent with Scripture.
WE ARE CONVINCED that, where God guides, He provides. Therefore we trust the Lord to provide for, and to build His Church.
WE SEEK to worship and serve the Lord within the context of our culture, yet we recognize that the culture must conform to the Scriptures, not the Scriptures to the culture.
