Statement of Faith
We believe:
In the Trinity.
That there is one God who exists eternally in three Persons—the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. These three are one God, the same in substance, equal in power and glory.
That the Bible is the written Word of God, inspired by the Holy Spirit and without error in the original manuscripts.
That the Bible is our infallible and divine authority in all matters of faith and life. That all men are sinners and are totally unable to save themselves.
That salvation is by the sole action of God, who sovereignly chooses whom He will save; and that men must recieve Christ into their hearts as their Lord and Savior.
That God alone saves the people whom He draws to Jesus by His Holy Spirit.
That the Holy Spirit reveals man's sinfulness to him and enlightens God's holiness that they would repent of their sins and trust in Jesus Christ as He is offered in the Gospel.
That our faith mandates that we call on people everywhere to repent and to trust in Jesus Christ.
That Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, who became man and lived and died and rose again to atone for the sins of those who trust Him alone for their salvation.
That Jesus Christ is the only mediator between God and man.
That God's Holy Spirit gives Christians the daily strength and wisdom that they need to walk according to His will and to grow in holiness.
That Jesus Christ shall return personally, visibly, and bodily to judge all mankind and to receive His people unto Himself.
