Statement of Faith
We believe the Bible has God for its author, salvation for its end, and truth, without any mixture of error, for its matter. The following constitute our essential beliefs about God, salvation, eternity, and other subjects:
About God
God is the Creator and Ruler of the Universe. He has always existed eternally in three personalities: The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit; each is fully God and there is one God.
Genesis 1:1,26-27, 3:22; Psalm 90:2; Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14
About Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He is equal with the Father. Jesus lived a sinless human life and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all people by dying on the cross. He arose from the dead after three days to demonstrate His power over sin and death. He ascended to Heaven's glory and will return again someday to earth to reign as King of Kings, and Lord of Lords.
Isaiah 9:6; Matthew 1:22-23; John 1:1-5, 14:10-30; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4; Romans 1:3-4; 1 Timothy 6:13-15; Hebrews 4:14-16
About the Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is equal with the Father and the Son. He is present in the world to make men aware of their need for Jesus Christ. He also lives in every Christian from the moment of salvation. He provides the Christian with power for living, understanding of spiritual truth, and guidance in doing what is right. He gives every believer a spiritual gift, or gifts, when they are saved. As Christians, we seek to live under His control daily.
John 16:7-15; Acts 1:8; 1 Corinthians 2:12-14; 2 Corinthians 3:17; Ephesians 1:13-14
About the Bible
The Bible is God's word to us. It was written by human authors, under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is the supreme source of truth for Christian belief and living. Because it is inspired by God, it is the truth without any mixture of error.
Psalm 12:6, 119:105,160; Proverbs 30:5; 2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:19-21
About Human Beings
People are made in the Spiritual image of God, to be like Him in character. People are the supreme object of God's creation. Although every person has tremendous potential for good, all of us are marred by an attitude of disobedience toward God called "sin." This attitude separates people from God and causes many problems in life. Further, God created human beings immutably as male and female, in His image, for His glory and fellowship. As image-bearers of God, every person has intrinsic value, purpose, and equality. Life is precious at all stages (starting at conception) and should be respected and protected. By God's design, marriage is between one biological man and one biological woman for life. Children are a gift from God, and they are to be raised in the fear and admonition of the Lord.
Genesis 1:26-27; Isaiah 53:6, 59:1-2; Romans 3:23; Ephesians 5:22-23; Matthew 19:4; Psalm 127:3; Proverbs 22:6
About Salvation
Salvation is God's free gift to us. We can never make up for our sin by self-improvement or good works. Only by trusting Jesus Christ as God's offer of forgiveness can anyone be born again from sin's penalty. When we turn from our self-ruled life and turn to Jesus in faith, we are saved. Eternal life begins the moment one receives Jesus Christ into his life by faith.
John 1:1-2, 12, 14, 14:6; Romans 5:1, 6:23; Ephesians 2:8-9; Titus 3:5
About Eternal Security
Because God gives us eternal life through Jesus Christ, the true believer is secure that salvation is for eternity. If you have been genuinely saved, you cannot "lose" it. Salvation is maintained by the grace and power of God, not by the self-effort of the Christian. It is the grace and keeping power of God that gives us this security.
John 10:27-30; 2 Timothy 1:12; Hebrews 7:25, 10:10, 14; 1 Peter 1:3-5; 1 John 2:17
About Eternity
People were created to exist forever. We will either exist eternally separated from God by sin, or eternally with God through forgiveness and salvation. To be eternally separated from God is existing in Hell. To be eternally in union with Him is existing in Heaven.
John 2:25, 3:16, 14:1-4,10:28-30; Romans 6:23; 2 Corinthians 4:18
About Spiritual Warfare
As believers, we recognize that we are in a war zone, not a playground. We have a real enemy - the Devil. When we become believers, our enemy does not cease his activity. Therefore, we recognize the armor of God as our protection from Satan and his demons. As believers, we have authority in Christ over all forces of evil.
Luke 9:1, 10:17-19; John 10:10; 2 Corinthians 10:3-5; Ephesians 6:10-18
About the Church
The universal church is made up of all born again believers. The local church is comprised of born again believers of all time who have joined together, as the Body of Christ, to serve God. The two ordinances of the church are believer's baptism by immersion and the Lord's Supper.
Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 2:41-47; Romans 12:4-8; 1 Corinthians 11:23-24, 12-14; Ephesians 4:11-12; 1 Peter 4:10-11
