Statement of Faith
1. We believe that all 66 books of the Bible are the only inspired word of God called scripture.
2. We believe that God is one, but reveals Himself through the persons of the Trinity as The Father, The Son as Jesus, and The Holy Spirit. Furthermore, we believe that each Person of this Trinity is God. (Deu. 6:4; 1 Cor. 6:44, 8:6; Rom. 1:7; Isa. 9:6; Jn. 1:1; Acts 5:3; Heb. 9:14; Jn. 4:24)
3. We believe that God is the creator of all things, is all powerful, all knowing, and sovereign to do as He wills. (Acts 14:15; Jer. 32:17; Eph. 3:20; Psa. 139:1-4; 1 Sam. 2:6-9; Psa. 24:1; Psa. 135:5-6)
4. We believe that Jesus was miraculously conceived by the Holy Spirit, and born of a virgin named Mary. Furthermore, we believe that Jesus is both “the Son of Man,” human, and “the Son of God,” deity. (Isaiah 7:14; Luke 1:26-33; Mat. 26:64; Lk. 5:24; Mk. 2:10-11; Lk. 3:38; Jn. 1:14; Mat. 3:17; Mat. 17:5)
5. We believe that Jesus lived a sinless life. (1 Pet. 2:22, 1 Jn. 3:5)
6. We believe that all of humanity has fallen short of God’s glory, and is in need of salvation; hence the reason Jesus came to earth. (Rom. 3:23; Rom. 6:23; Rom. 5:8; Jn. 14:6; 1 Cor. 6:9-11)
7. We believe that those who die without salvation will spend eternity separated from God’s presence in hell. (Psalm 9:17; Luke 16:23,26; Jn. 12:48)
8. We believe that salvation is obtained through Jesus alone. Furthermore, we believe that salvation cannot be attained by works, but only through the death, resurrection, and grace of The Lord Jesus Christ. (Jn. 14:6; Jn. 3:16; Jn. 10:17-18; Rom. 1:4; Rom. 5:8)
9. We believe that those who belong to Christ will spend eternity in His presence, ruling and reigning with Him in His Kingdom. (Isaiah 65:17-25; Rev. 21:1-7; Jn. 14:2-3; 2 Tim. 2:12; 1 Pet. 2:9)
10. We believe that Jesus will return to gather His people, as well as the resurrection of the dead in Christ at His return. (1 Cor. 15:21-23)
11. We believe in the baptism of believers in Christ. (Mat. 28:19; Acts 2:38-41)
12. We believe in the observance of communion (the bread and the cup) as a means to remember our Lord. (1 Cor. 11:24)
13. We believe that Christ is the Head of the church, which should be governed by Him. (Eph. 5:23)
14. We believe that all Christ’s ministers are servant-leaders, not dictators. (Jn. 13:3-16; Lk. 22:25-27; Phil. 2:3-8)
15. We believe that everyone who claims Jesus as Lord must pursue a life of discipleship. That we are all called to represent Him through our words, actions, and obedience to His commands. (Jn. 14:15; Mat. 28:19-20; 2 Cor. 5:20)
